The Jeff Korondo Lyric
--------------------------
Okwera nono (Rejecting me for nothing)
Chorus
Wun lutuwa jone okwera nono doo, adok kwene?
My people you reject me for nothing, where do I go?
Obedo yub me lobo,
Maybe it was meant to be like that, what if it were you? What would you do?
Obedo yub me lobo,
Maybe it was meant to be like that, what if it were you? Where would you go?
Verse 1
Lutuwa ka waneno mot peko me wiloboni ngat ma yenyo pee…
My people, if you look carefully no one invites the sufferings of this world
Can yenyo dano ya , dano kelo can ikumi, kadi itima angoo…
Trouble follows you, people bring troubles to you no matter how much you try to avoid
Ka ibedo iloboni ce ilworo mege can kong ilwor gidi doo..
If you are in this world, and still want to be afraid of poverty then it is up to you
Pien dano omin can – Omin can!
Because poverty is part of man – Part of man!
Can omin lonyo – Omin lonyo!
And poverty is part of wealth – Part of wealth!
Lonyo pe lawat – Pe lawat!
Wealth has no relation – No relation!
Can weki woko!
Wealth deserts you!
Ooho!
Chorus (Repeated…..)
Verse 2
Lutino wa ma tino tino tye ka dugu ki ilum ki can ma keni kenii…
Our little children are returning from the bush with different kinds of problems
Nen! Gi odugu ki ilum iyonge deno can mapol…
Look! They are returning from the bush after an immense suffering
Tingo tye ma pek, neno nek alany, ki wot I boo piny…
Carrying heavy loads, witnessing horrific murders and trekking long distances
Ma lit ma kato loyo ene diyo gi ka nek labongo miti gii… kango in kono? Idok itimo ngo?
Most hurting is forcing them to murder against their wish… if it were you what would you do?

Loke dok gangi bene waitye, kadi beti tye jal cii ne bene tye!
There is this issue of returning home, even so, it has its problem!
Cet ikin gangi jal, mone bene tye, daa bene tye jal, laro ngom tye.
Go to the villages, there is enemity, there are quarrels, there are land wrangles.
Nek bene tye jal, ony pa remo tye.
There are murders and there is bloodshed
Landmines tye jal, wa too bene tye.
There are landmines and even deaths.
Lutela me ter - kwaro joni otek kinwa do!
Our cultural leaders please help us settle our disuptes, political leaders please help us!
Lucungu me wibye joni otek kinwa do!
We grew-up in camps and do not know our land boundaries!
Wan odongo i kema ya wang ngom wangeyo kuu
Even towns are camps; we do not know our land boundaries!
We town ducu kema ya; wang-ngom wangeyo kuu!
