ka bubuk samo mandaki,
97
You are the village head of Samo Manurun.

Nan ado samo is eaten,
98
Nan indak samo is sought.

How come mandapek samo balabo,

99
miss samo marugi.

Barek Samo is married,

light samo dijinjiang,
nan lamah samo ditueh,

nan leaning samo ditungkek,
the chaotic samo is worshiped,

nan as calm as samo dibilai. 100

the hill is the same as going up, going to the village is the same as going down.

it is eaten, if there is not it is detained.
99 Idrus Hakimy, Mustika Series, p. 92, which means: If you get the
same you gain the same, lose as you lose.
100 Idrus Hakimy, Mustika Series, p. 207, which means: The weight is
the same to be carried, the light is to be carried, the weak are to be supported,
the weak are the same as sticks, the messy are to be persuaded, and the light is
to be judged.
