A name can tell who you are for example. There are people, who are named after places, therefore they belong to the bourgeoisie or to the middle class. There are others who are named after countries, therefore they are nobles or orphans. There are names which express feelings and those are African names.

You know what we are going to do,

and that is to study,

and to also work on some research to do,

because that is how we study.

To find out the true meaning of life,

and that is to feel happy,

with who are in our life,

and to be therefore happy.

You can work,

and also walk,

and it will always be work,

when you can walk,

for that is cheap to exercise for work,

and you will feel good when you walk.

And we still discuss about birds,

or the word nyoni or inyoni,

which also means birds,

in the language of Kirundi.

For, one day you want to sing,

like the little bird which is early,

when you see the sun sing

on your skin to welcome you when you wake up early.
