It’s me Ɗoko Raymond /

/

Sa-gène /

/

I am about to tell this tale. /

/

It’s also a tale with Wanto. /

/

Nothing has never go beyond Wanto /

/

For sure ! The animals all came together like that in large numbers. /

/

They dug a big trench, a big trench, their trench to play, only for all animals on earth. /

/

Those who are not part of it are, to make clear again, those from Wanto’s lineage, they do not go in, /

/

it’s only all the animals, all of them, who get together. /

/

Then they dug a big trench, the trench is a big ditch /

/

because that’s their playing area. /

/

Their wives dug it. /

/

and /

/

they have all entirely dug this whole /

/

and [that’s where] they get together. /

/

Every day /

/

they come and play in this trench. /

/

When they come to play, /

/

They remove their leg /

/

One after the other down on the ground, this one removes his leg and lays it on the ground, this one removes his leg and lays it on the ground, this one removes his leg and lays it on the ground. /

/

and then they jump /

/

over this ditch /

/

And so Wanto brought his metallic traps, his snares /

/

and goes to set /

/

these traps on the burnt grass /

/

He sets his snares as he walks, as he walks, as he walks, [going always further] /

/

as he was about to arrive [at the end], /

/

he can hear the animals’ voices further down the road /

/

singing the song of the game they play by jumping over their trench /

/

Wanto freezes. /

/

And so he picks up that snare he was about to set, covers it with earth, covers it with earth and fills up the trap hole /

/

fills up the trap hole /

/

rips these snares /

/

rips [the tie] of the strap, puts it back in his pocket, in his bag in his game-bag. /

/

Thus, he leaves and arrives where the animals are over there. /

/

You should see how they jump down there /

/

[they jump] all together /

/

[they jump] all together /

/

[they jump] all together /

/

[they jump] all together /

/

Wanto oh ! My maternal uncles, /

/

What is left of that thing, I thought you didn’t go there anymore, however you keep coming back. /

/

And they [say] /

/

These animals [say] /

/

What maternal uncles ? /

/

Are we your maternal uncles ? /

/

Oh! my maternal uncles, /

/

you really don’t recognize me ? /

/

No, we don’t recognize you anymore. /

/

oh! /

/

About this thing that you keep jumping down all the time for such a long time /

/

I thought : they actually don’t do it anymore. /

/

But I can see that you continue to jump ah, and for sure me, your nephew, I come and find you jumping. /

/

Let me jump with you, he says. /

[That said, he knows that it is a trick] (said by someone of the audience) /

[Yes of course] (Answer to the audience) /

/

But they [say] no /

/

Wanto /

/

this thing where we jump, we didn’t hear the name of someone who would be our nephew Wanto to jump over this hole. /

/

We don’t want you here, go away, leave. /

/

Wanto [says] oh ! My maternal uncles, don’t do that to me. /

/

Remove one of my legs so I can jump with you. /

/

Really ? they ask. /

/

Yes, /

/

really [answers Wanto] /

/

and /

/

all rignt, they say. (litt they, it's finished) /

/

Hare ! /

/

Go and remove Wanto’s leg. /

/

The hare comes and remove Wanto’s leg and puts it down with theirs. /

/

and /

/

they start jumping over the ditch again : /

/

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side … /

/

So it is already time for them to leave. /

/

It is already time for the animals to leave /

/

they take their leg and jump on the other side of the river all together. /

/

They each take their leg, put it back on /

/

and go, they each take their leg, put it back on,they each take their leg, put it back on and go, /

/

they all grab their leg back on and go. /

/

Wanto stays, stays on the same leg /

/

and Wanto doesn’t stop anymore. /

/

While they are already gone, Wanto keeps on jumping the same way as they are already gone. /

/

Since they are already gone, who is going to come and rub some medecine on Wanto’s knee before he can stop ? nobody [nobody] /

/

For Wanto it is always /

/

once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

and it is night time. /

/

Wanto doesn’t stop /

/

And so he keeps on jumping all night long, all night long, all night long, all night long, all night long, and it is now daytime. /

/

Once it is daylight and the sun is already high in the sky, /

/

The morning sun (around 9 :00), /

/

So the animals come back again, they say : you stayed here. /

/

Oh ! Of course I stayed here, he says, what you did with me here, /

/

they left, all of them, and of course he stayed here and tried to stop, in vain, he says. /

[ah! He liked the song so much he kept singing it] (someone in the audience) /

And so he kept playing kept jumping of course, he says. /

/

Yes, they say, we are all going to jump over it with you. When we shall be ready to leave we shall rub your knee with the medecine /

/

and you will leave and finally you will go away. /

/

And so they start [jumping]. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch, then once on the opposite side. /

/

So evening comes. /

/

The animals grab their leg /

/

Put it back, put it back, put it back, they all do it and finally they leave. /

[Wanto stays like that] (said in the audience) /

and Wanto goes on jump/, [noticing that] he really [can’t] to stop, /

/

He has only been jumping, jumping for the past two days. /

/

You have seen someone who for two days doesn’t eat any cassava dough, /

/

not a single piece of cassava dough goes into his mouth and who doesn’t know how to stop. /

/

Who only jumps over this ditch, on the opposite side over there, /

/

And that’s how it is, that’s how it is. /

/

So Naa-nombol prepared some cassava dough which by now of course is two days old. /

/

She prepared some cassava dough [thinking that] her husband went to lay traps /

/

and he is still out there. She prepares some cassava dough and goes out to look for Wanto. What happens to Wanto ? /

/

She goes out to look for him for a long time. She unearthes a cassava root, she pounds a sesame cake that she puts aside, /

/

she carves out some cassava dough /

/

and adds a caterpillar paste /

/

She looks for Wanto for a long time, and then /

/

as she arrives /

/

so to speak at the end of this village over there, /

/

she can hear Wanto’s voice.. /

/

There isn’t anyone left. /

/

I am going to sing by myself, /

/

there isn’t anyone left. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once. /

/

Naa-nombol says oh! There is Wanto screaming over there. What /

/

what is this song that Wanto is singing : once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side, what happened to Wanto ? /

/

She walks and once she gets there /

/

Wanto is here. /

/

Wanto is trying to jump on the riverside over there, /

/

Then as he was about to turn around to jump and come back, he sees Naa-nombol. /

. /

Naa-nombol!. /

/

Your husband has already become a slave. /

. /

I have really become a slave /

/

I can’t stop, Naa-nombol /

/

Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side. Once on one side of the ditch, once on the opposite side. /

/

and Naa-nombol : of course I am used to saying it, tell-me Wanto, you have done something wrong again. /

/

What did you do to end up in this situation ? /

/

Honey, you lost so much weight, how am I going to do ? /

/

And Naa-nombɔl [says] /

/

Wanto, for sure, I have some cassava dough, stop, st-/ Naa-nombol! I’m unable to stop, /

/

it’s impossible for me to stop. /

/

Over and over : Once on one side of the ditch, /

/

once on the opposite side. /

/

once on one side of the ditch /

/

Come on, Wanto, stop and eat the cassava dough, she says. /

/

once on this side of the ditch, Naa-nombol, I’m unable to stop/ Once on one side of the ditch. /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch /

/

Once on the opposite side. /

/

Come one, come on, Wanto, come on. Stop and cut a piece of cassava dough. Put in your belly. /

/

Naa-nombol, I can’t stop. /

/

I can’t stop. See how weak I am because I’m hungry. /

/

It’s impossible for me to stop. /

/

once on one side of the ditch /

/

once on the opposite side. /

/

Listen Naa-nombol : /

/

Cut a piece of cassava dough. Add a little bit of the dish. /

/

When I come back jumping, you will throw it to me. I will catch it and finally put it in my mouth. /

/

Once on one side of the ditch. Once on the opposite side. Naa-nombol cut a piece of cassava dough /

/

and stuffs it with caterpillar paste. /

/

When she wants to throw it to Wanto /

the piece of dough flies past Wanto and lands down there on the other side of the river. Wanto goes further down down on the other side. Once on one side of the ditch. Poor me! Naa-nombol, this piece of dough flew past me. /

/

This piece flew past me and landed behind me over there. /

/

Naa-nombol cuts another piece of dough, /

/

stuffs it with some caterpillar paste. /
