Nin Sama Sirra Ani Musso
Nhema Be Sorro Há Há


Quando chegam as chuvas
Os agricultores devem levantar-se para trabalhar
O país não avança sem agricultores
Quando chega a chuva trabalhemos para ter arroz
Ao trabalhar podemos ter amendoim
A terra também nos dá milho, trabalhemos para isso

Quando chega o tempo certo, até com o milho novo
Podemos ter um bom alimento
Vamos trabalhar! Não há como o trabalho
O governo deve apoiar os agricultores


When the rains come
Farmers must get up for work
The country does not advance without farmers
When the rain comes we should work to have rice
Working we can have peanuts
The land also gives us corn, let us work for it
Food brings beauty in women
When the right time comes, even with the new corn
We can have a good food
Let's work! There is nothing like work
The government should support farmers
