Yellow bird , yellow bird ,
Do not settle on the broussonetias ,
Do not eat my paddy .
The people of this country ,
Are not willing to treat me well .
I will return , I will go back ,
Back to my country and kin .
Yellow bird , yellow bird ,
Do not settle on the mulberry trees ,
Do not eat my maize .
The people of this country ,
Will not let me come to an understanding with them .
I will return , I will go back ,
Back to my brethren .
Yellow bird , yellow bird ,
Do not settle on the oaks ,
Do not eat my grand millet .
The people of this country ,
I cannot dwell with .
I will return , I will go back ,
Back to my uncles .
