FIRST WIFE'S VOICE

FIRST WIFE

Don’t bring your second wife to me,
Her brats to my huts
To eat at my fire,
I am a woman with many cattle.

Don’t roam away to play
Games in the city
With high-heeled white women,
I am a woman with many cattle.

Don’t squander our money
On credit and crap,
There are mouths to be fed and I
Am a woman with many cattle.

Surrender instead to the fire
In my belly, the food on your plate,
The love at our table. Remember,
I am a woman with many cattle.
