Ng'ombe zaya (His cattle)

The listeners answer 'Tilitonsi' "We are together". There was once a man who had some cows and he went to herd them out in the bush. When he felt hungry he went to a certain tree to cook a few grains of maize to eat. When he had eaten all he had cooked, he looked up and found his cows had disappeared. He called his son and told him the cattle had gone. "Bring me an arrow" he said, and then he sang this magic song "Ng'ombe dzaya" so they were able to find the animals again and took them back to the village. Nthano story song
