Title
Mufupi hainyari (The short man does not tire)
Description / content note
Many of the lines set against the typical yodelling of the women, are taken at random from other songs and have little or no continuity of theme. They do however serve the purpose of keeping the song going. "The short man does not tire. With whom shall I play. Ndendua, I shall die. Close the door, you, Ndendua. In the house e re re. With whom shall I stay. I will die, being just like a dog. Matupa maneke. Where we come from. Harari (Salisbury) is far away. To come out feeling guilty. Like buck from the meadow lands." etc. Song for the Gawo dance with 1 drum.
