There was a silence, a long silence,
The drumming of the rain seemed full the whole world.
Cloud of the due sky burns,
Darkness flies her colour
Thunder storm display his talent,
Olukoso speaks with flashes forth flame of fire
Crack and rumble flash and flicker
Young in heart in full panic
Blood of the ancient veins seized up their heart beat,
Waves whisper to trees
The expert of the night still at work.
Plunge the children of the into lametation,
Dimmed the light in the eyes of the famous,
Made the beautiful abandon the earth
Stay under the canopy of thunder
To made the wisest become occupants of the coffin.
