TAKA BOTA - (A Mandinka poem)
Taka Bota Kunol tita
Subol beh bori la
Nyamol beh jani la.
Ding ding kebba beh kidi la
Wuroh beh kuhma laS
ubol beh boila
Muro ninfang ngoh beh wuleh ringh.
Dol beh ding kol sing na
Dol beh subol jani la
Dol beh loh njini la
Kebal beh siring.
Musol beh subol batu la
Dol beh turoh la
Dol beh jiyo bi la
Dol beh dah jong kih la.
Tilo bi na boila
Kewol beh subol sambala
Kebal beh no ma
Wulol beh no ma.
