7 bikos e go good sey,
make en ensef tell yu to sidan for high pozishon,
na sey make e gi-am to anoda pesin wey dey important pass yu.
8 Nor kwik karry matter go kourt,

9 If yu and yor neighbour dey argue about sometin,

10 If not, evribody go know sey yu nor fit keep sekret

11 Bikos betta words wey dem tok well,

12 Wen wise pesin advise pesin wey ready to listin, wetin e tok,

13 As kold wota dey sweet for dry sizin,
na so too savant wey pesin fit trust,
dey make belle sweet di pesin wey send am.
14 Pipol wey dey promise and fail bi like kloud
and heavy breeze wey nor dey bring rain.
15 Na patient and gentol tok,

18 To lie for pesin head bi like to kill pesin with swod,

19 Like tit wey dey pain pesin or leg wey don break,
na so too e bi to trust pesin wey nor dey sirious wen trobol kom.
20 To sing for pesin wey nor get peace for mind,

26 Wen good pesin listin to wetin bad pesin dey tok,

27 Just as too mush honey nor good for yu, na so too,

28 If yu dey vex anyhow and nor fit kontrol yorsef,
yu bi like town wey nor get fence at-all
and wey dey eazy for enemy to attack.
