Okot p'Bitek - The horn of my love

Pics: A traditional horn produced from bones or horns of wild animals. It is called (Okike) by the Igbo people in Nigeria.



Where has my love blown his horn?
The tune of his horn is well known.
Young men of my clan,
Have you heard the horn of my love?



The long distance has ruined me, oh,
The distance between me and my companion. (1)
Youths of my clan,
Have you heard the horn of my love?



The shortage of cattle has ruined my man!
The poverty of my love!
You men of my clan,
Listen to the horn of my love.



Where has my love blown his horn?
The tune of his horn is well known.
Young men of my clan,
Listen to the horn of my clan
