A Prayer for Mercy
1 Our Lord and our God,
I turn my eyes to you,
on your throne in heaven.
2 Servants look to their master,
but we will look to you,
until you have mercy on us.
3 Please have mercy, Lord!
We have been insulted
more than we can stand,
4 and we can't take more abuse
from those proud,
conceited people.
Alla la balafaa duwaaraŋo
Moolu ka ñiŋ suukuwo le laa, niŋ ì be Alla Batudulaa Buŋo* waliŋ na.
1 Yaawe*, n ñaa be ite le kaŋ santo,
ite meŋ be siiriŋ i la mansabaayaa kono Arijana.
2 Jonkewo jikoo ka tara a maarii kaŋ ñaameŋ,
aniŋ jommusoo fanaa,
