Far away in Nanga-noon
Lived an old and grey Baboon,
Ah-mi, Sulani!
Once a Prince among his kind,
Now forsaken, left behind,
Feeble, lonely, all but blind:
Sulani, ghar magleer.
Peaceful Tishnar came by night,
In the moonbeams cold and white;
Ah-mi, Sulani!
'Far away from Nanga-noon,
Old and lonely, gray Baboon,
Is a journey for thee soon!
Sulani, ghar magleer.
'Be not frightened, shut thine eye;
Comfort take, nor weep, nor sigh;
Solitary Tishnar's nigh!'
Sulani, ghar magleer.
Old Baboon, he gravely did
All that peaceful Tishnar bid;
Ah-mi, Sulani!
In the darkness cold and grim
Drew his blanket over him;
Closed his old eyes, sad and dim:
Sulani, ghar magleer.
Talaheeti sul magloon
Olgar, ulgar Manga-noon;
Ah-mi, Sulani!
Tishnar sootli maltmahee,
Ganganareez soongalee,
Manni Mulgar sang suwhee:
Sulani, ghar magleer.
