Description:The song appears to be about the ox, Makuei (black ox with white patch on the forehead), but is directed at a woman. The girl, who is supposed to be married using Makuei as part of the bride price, does not measure up to the value of Makuei, according to Bol, the singer. The girl is said to behave like a wild cat, in addition to the fact that she is a ‘second hand’ lady (once married). The last part of this song is also about the value of Makuei, who is being protected day and night with a gun. So Bol is wondering how a divorcee can claim to be his wife, “Here is a white-tail, claiming that she is still a child, a miracle happening again! Is there a child who can give birth to Makuei?” NB: Makuei in this cantext is a name given to the first born male child, in honour of the ox.
