Now we are asking /

/

how... /

/

you used to bury your people? /

/

People... /

if somebody has died? /

/

Well if somebody has died well, /

/

you would go... /

/

you would tell them that somebody has died. /

/

/

/

Well they would go and dig a grave /

/

outside. /

/

tôː nə ŋáː ɣəndí fáː / /

/

they will dig a grave outside. /

/

they dig a grave outside. /

/

well they would bring er... /

/

cotton. /

/

We used to call it 'peri' [cotton]. /

/

tôː / /

it was multicoloured. /

/

Well you would sew ... /

you would sew it to make it look like cloth. /

/

Then you would cover him in it. /

/

When you had covered him, then you would take him and /

ʧâː ɗa gìːrì // /

/

Well then if... /

the chief is there /

/

he will say that /

well that's how it is /

don't er... /

/

do anything like this /

/

let nobody jump and... /

/

let nobody jump. /

/

Yes. /

/

Well that's [for] a child. /

/

Yes, that's for a child, /

/

What about an old person? /

or a youth. /

/

If it's a man. /

if it's a man... an old man, well the people of the house /

/

/

well, they would bury him inside the house in some hut /

/

like the kitchen. /

/

Well, they will bury him inside the house. /

/

Well, /

They would do him that type of ... /

/

/

/

They would sew some cotton sheet. /

/

Well theyw would cover him with some /

white cotton indeed. /

/

Yes. /

/

Well they would cover him and then /

/

you would bury him. /

/

Well after you had buried him well /

/

you would sit still. /

/

Well after you have sat still, /

/

well you would take... /

/

er.. some potsherd er... /

/

some potsherd and take some earth with it. /

/

Well, /

/

you... /

you would beat it towards er... /

/

downstream like this /

that's the east, isn't that so? /

/

Oui... /

/

Well, you would beat it towards /

the sunset. /

/

That's westward. /

/

Well, after they have beaten like this, /

/

then you would ululate again. /

/

Hear ye! /

/

Hear ye! /

/

Hear ye! /

/

Hear ye! /

/

Hear ye! /

So-and-So has died, So-and-So has died. /

/

What happened? /

Then they would start wailing /

with the women all together, /

they would start wailing. /

/

Well that's how funerals used to be. /

/

Yes, well, how many days did you use to spend for a burial? /

/

Or immediately after you had buried the person, /

did you leave and go back and disperse or what? /

Ah, after they had buried him, it was over, they would bury him then they would start wailing. /

/

Did everyone go home? /

Everyone went home. /

/

Wouldn't you spend some time sleeping there ? /

/

No. /

/

Then how is it now /

that they [women] sleep at their friends? /

They come and sleep. /

Eh, < formerly > , old women used to sleep there indeed. /

/

Old women used to sleep there. /

That's what I was asking. /

Yes, old women used to sleep there. /

/

They stayed three nights. /

/

Well, /

that very day that you spend the night, /

that's the day that the funeral ends. /

/

Well as the day breaks, /

on the fourth day, /

/

well, /

/

they would call it /

"Sweeping the place", they would sweep the place. /

/

Well that is the funeral is finished. /

/

Nobody will come to wail again. /

/

After they have swept the place, /

everyone who has come /

/

would merely go and greet them, but he would not wail any more. /

But if they have not swept the place, /

/

everyone who has come will start wailing. /

/

Everyone who has come will wail. /

/

So-and-So has died, /

So-and-So has died. /

/

It used to be like this. /

/

Well, /

then if it's a woman who has died, /

where would they bury her? /

/

A woman? /

Or a girl. /

/

Girls, /

they would bury them outside, /

all of them. /

/

They would bury them in the open outside... /

in the open all /

like... /

these old locust-bean trees there /

they would bury them there. /

/

And women too? /

Yes, women too, /

they would bury them there. /

/

Then if it is... /

a chief who has died that day? /

/

If a chief has died, /

then if he has a house with... /

/

/

that has a small kitchen inside, /

they would bury him there. /

/

If not, /

they would go and bury him outside /

just like that. /

/

Then his funeral, /

will it be different or... /

No. /

will they do the same funeral? /

/

his funeral is not different, except that /

/

those masquerades /

/

if he was doing Najankai, /

/

well Najankai will come out. /

/

If he was doing Natarnyi, /

/

well Natarnyi will come out. /

/

If it was Munak /

/

well they would take Munak /

and wear it. /

/

Munak indeed. /

Until that day that burial has finished, well they would take Munak, /

carry it to the mountain. /

and go and leave it in the mountain. /

/

Well, /

formerly, it was like this. /

/

And... /

/

if it is like say... /

he was doing er... /

/

er... chief of... /

of the masquerades /

/

well the masquerades would come out. /

/

Well on the day of the end of the burial, /

/

that day you would do matang pppplenty. /

/

That is /

you would... /

you would pull your friend /

tôː kə́ fî mátaŋ gáy // /

/

Well that's what they call in Hausa /

'shoro'. /

Isn't that so? /

/

All right. /

/

Well that's how we used to do matang a lot /

/

for the death of a man who quite old, isn't that so? /

/

But not for a child. /

/

Well if it was an old man who... /

/

the oldest man of the whole country that has died, /

/

how would you bury him? /

/

Did you ask me about the burial of the oldest man of the country that they buried him? /

/

Yes, when he died. /

When he died, /

/

they would bury him exactly like these people. /

/

They would not bury him any differently. /

/

Except for the village chief. /

/

If it was the village chief, /

/

they would tell many people to come, /

/

before they would bury him. /

/

Well after they had buried him, /

/

they would scatter, they would not stay. /

/

Then they would come, So-and-So has come to offer [his] condolences. /

/

So-and-So has arrived, he has come to offer [his] condolences. /

/

Then, the last day of the funeral /

/

they would not do the funeral for three days for their king. /

/

It would last for four days. /

/

OK. /

Yes. /

/

For the village chief, they would spend four days /

mourning. /

/

Well, then /

they would disperse. /

/

On the fifth day, /

/

they would 'sweep the place'. /

/

Then they would disperse. /

/

Well I'm asking /

/

like this our Godiya [NB:a male teenager], /

/

should he die, /

/

Yes. /

/

and you, should you die, /

/

Yes. /

/

what would be the difference /

/

between your funerals? /

/

Ah, if Godiya dies, /

/

the funeral, /

they would do a proper funeral, /

/

absolutely. /

They would not play anything to make people dance, /

but if it was me, /

/

they would dance well. /

/

Like me indeed, /

/

Yes. /

/

they will dance really well! /

/

They will beat the drum, /

they will dance Na... er... /

N... Nadamula. /

/

They will dance Na-kamas, /

/

they will dance Na-ges, /

/

they will dance Na-Lehpm-Zari, /

/

they will dance Na-Slehb'ehrti. /

/

And the masquerades would come, /

Na-Feti. /

/

They will come and dance indeed. /

Well that day they will do 'matang', /

if it's me. /

/

Yes. /

/

They will do 'matang' very well. /

/

But Godiya, nobody will dance in it. /

/

Because he is young. /

/

Why is it so? /

/

He is young! /

/

Yes, since he is young indeed, what is the reason why you... /

/

didn't do [it] at his [burial]? /

No, death... /

He's a person, isn't he? /

/

Yes, he's a person, /

but for him, /

they are sad. /

/

He is a young man. /

/

They are sad /

we will not put any dance in it. /

/

Yes, that is to say, it's the meaning of that sadness I want to know // /

/

It's the reason of the sadness, /

it's the reason of your happiness. /

/

Er he reason of my happiness, /

/

that they are happy er... /

They they are happy er... /

As for me myself, /

/

it's because I am old. /

/

Well /

they wouldn't /

mourn to the extent /

/

that they would be really sad. /

/

But for Godiya on the contrary, /

/

eh! /

/

eh, they wouldn't even talk, /

/

they would only be wailing. /

/

To the extent that /

/

if they do, they will say /

eh, this mourning, /

well, /

you, you should leave it. /

This thing, this thing, /

/

it's only a small thing like this, eh, well, they would leave it. /

/

Well, what if it is like me like this ? /

/

Like you, they would do the funeral, up till now. /

/

They will do the funeral. /

Nobody will bring dance to you. /

/

Even like... /

/

eh, even somebody older than Madaki Dukiya, they will not /

they will not dance for him. /

/

Except if he is in his house, /

/

they will dance the 'Mbok'. /

/

Masquerades will come, /

/

but they will not dance well. /
