Description:At the start, the singer thanks the people who are present during the recording. He says, I thank you and greet you in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then he says his name, Manyang Deng Thuch, (his nicknames are Mabiet-jok, Waar-baak, Agut-maameer). He adds that everyone has his own song – a first song made after becoming an adult. It is usually sung during the tethering of the cows (this is what they do in their culture as a youth). At the start of the song he praises his bull mabior (white bull). He probably received this bull from the marriage of the daughter of Mabor Ajundit. Then he says: my father is well-known in this area of Majok. I stabbed a bull with a spear. It was a fat bull of my uncle. This shows that he is a powerful man (‘gentleman’). A gentleman cannot stand behind the dancing place; he should be in the middle, to be noticed by everybody. I am a man who can be found in the middle of the cattle camp. My bull is the tallest bull among the bulls. It is bright as a white-man country. It is like a sun and moon. The spirit of my father and mother bring maameer (bright bull) for me. I want to use it as dowry. It will be paid for Akur Majok’s family.
