Thus did Dengei weep tears of annoyance, "One night, two nights have I lain awake, Three nights, four nights have I lain awake, Not once has Turukawa cooed, Alas! my fowl, my noble fowl! Alas! my fowl, my man-like fowl, Sorrow has taken possession of my brain, I am sick with it; I cannot eat, Come, herald, run, Run straight to Narauyamba, Question the archers, and say, 'You, did you shoot Turukawa? Not once did he coo at daybreak, The 'Cave-dweller'[55] is still fasting, The tears are welling from his eyes; The men are off to sleep on board.' [Pageheader: THE CRAFTSMEN DECLARE WAR] The Herald Speaks Nonku nduri tiko ni karakaramba, Sa talaki ma Kotoinankara, "Matanivanua mai thithi manda, Mo lakovi rau na turanga, Nonku toa sa mate vakathava? Au tambu kila no a kena thala." Soraki ka tukutuku ko Mata, Ma mbolea mai ko Nakausamba, 'Matanivanua, mo na ngalu manda, O kenda kethe na luve ni tamata, Oi au na luve ni mathawa, Oi au na luve ni vula thandra, Vakathambethambe nga ko Waithala, Ka levu ko cava kei Mata, Au kaya mo na sa vavi manda, Tha nde ko senga ni na laukana, Ni ko rui kaisi tha sara, Au a lenkata na vula ma thandra." Ko Nathirikaumoli ma vosaya, "Me tukuna ma Kotoinankara, Nona ruve e rawata vakathava? E kune e wai, se rawata matha? Ko la'ki tukuna me nda tu sa vala, Sa vu ni tha nga ko Turukawa, Me tawase kina ko Nakauvandra, Sa tha nondatou tiko vata, Me ngundu na masi me tou sa vala." Kena moto ma rara no kivata, Na malumu me thavu e na wakana, Ko wilika ma na sai mbalambala, Tiko sombu ndaru na okaokata, E undolu vakatini sa rawa, Me tou tinia na masi ni vala, A ndrondro a ue ki sankata. Mataisau era mbose toka, Era mbose, era ndui vosavosa, Me nkai vosa mai ko Rokola, "Mbai vesi mo ndou la'ki vonota, Matamata mo ndou la'ki karona," Na mbongi ni vala ka sa tini toka, Kena wa ma mbuki ma so vota, Velavela ko Lutunasombasomba, Sai koya nga na ndauloloma, Nda nkai nanuma tale nona vosa, "Tou a nkai kune ka ngona, O ndou nguthe tou na mbokola, Me mai mbaleta nai votavota." E tini na vuthu ka tambu na vosa.
