Languta, ndzilo.

Look, fire!


Ndzilo wa hisa.

Fire burns.


Ndzilo wa sweka.

Fire cooks.


Ndzilo wu nyika ku kufumela.

Fire gives warmth.


Ndzilo wu nyika kuvonakala.

Fire gives light.


Languta, ndzilo.

Look, fire!


Ndzilo wu kahle.

Fire is wonderful.


Naswona wu na matimba.

And it is powerful.
