The fall of an elephant
On my way home
Coming from my farm
Ev'ry thing was still

A cold breeze blew
Birds were shirping
From end to end
The tree and the palm became sad
They refuse to echoe
The voice of the shirping birds
The river cease to flow

My house was silent
My people have cried
And lost their sight

I saw him lifelessly
lay on a wooden bed
When was he lain on lay-ette
Now is gone
My lass is gone
The clowny man has gone
The whole world was sad
For you left with no goodbye.
