I live here, this is where I leave.

ene nowriko , ene nkowsa

I was not born here (Lit. it is not here that I was born), I was born in San Francisco.

ene wo enena nutsiꞌa , nuchko te to San Prasisku .

I was born there. After the war, I came here.

ene nuchko ; taegnepo to yera , nutekpo te pjoka

So I stayed (here), now I am old, I won't go back to my village.

asike nnósipo , juiti ꞌchosinupo wo nchapo te to nowsa .

Therefore I am telling about when I came here, I saw the one called Julia Ma'e. This man was already old.

asike eto pjokni eto nechjisꞌo eto te nutekpo oni , nimꞌopo ema ma tkijare Julia Maꞌe ; ꞌchosipo ema ꞌchane .

His position was to be a "shouter".

ene matuparaꞌo tkijare tpioorikraꞌi .

In the ceremonies, the man was shouting in front of the church, in each corner of the square.

te... to piestano , tpiooriko ema viya ꞌchane te pjoro ꞌresiamíroꞌu , te to ... te jmuena eskinano te plasa .

There was still the Holy Crosses in the corners of this square in San Lorenzo.

etjorichꞌo mañgi viya krutsono te pjoro eskina te pjoka plasa Sa Lorenzo .

There he was shouting, the people were taking care of the ???, and he was taking care (of the people).

ene mapioorisꞌo , najáñoko no ꞌchane , ma piskare , ema tyjáñoko .

They were watching that we wouldn't come close to the four men, the four watchers (??).

ene naemꞌa te to vyana ypucha ema ꞌchane viya ꞌchane , kwatrunano tyjañorikono .

They were walking at 4:00, at four in the morning, he was.

tpuikonriꞌi eno te las kwatru , las kwatru de la mañana , ema .

It was like this, he was shouting his name.

takoꞌe eto pjokni , ema tpiooriko muéjare .

And his position was (also) to be machetero (traditional dancer).

ene tparaako chríperu .

And his position was (also) to be the one that unails the Lord, after the death of the Lord.

ene tparaakopo tvettako ma viya , ( te to ) te muepenira viya .

His responsibilities were three, the responsibilities of the man, his um... work.

to matuparaꞌo mopona , ( to ) matuparaꞌo ema ꞌchane , to manjeꞌeriꞌi muemtone .

When he (the Lord) died, the people gave him his feather crown, they gave him his cane, they gave him his clothes, that is called clothes of the deads,

te tepenopo , naejrokpo no ꞌchañonono to majórise , naejrokpo to matsukrupa , naejrokpo eto to mamuiiꞌo , to ꞌtsomejiiko muíriore taejare ,

and after, the Holy wooden rosary,

tyompo to viya usaaꞌo wkugi ,

and after, his um... cloth, they call it cloth what they are usually dressed with, when he was unnailing the Lord.

ene tyompo eto to mayeꞌe ꞌavitu , ꞌavitu vijarechꞌo to namuiiꞌosare , te to manjeꞌe ... te to tvettako ma viya .

So was it.

I tell was I have seen, when I came here in San Lorenzo, this I have seen, I have watched it, I was eleven years.

The one was was names Bishop Francisco Luna came, Francisco Luna was his name, he was an old bishop.

tyutekpo ema ma tkijareeꞌi ovispo Francisco ... Francisco Luna muejare , ema ꞌchosi ovispo .

He administered me confirmation here in the church.

ema tnoknu to confirmancion te pjoka ꞌresia .

Many people had their confirmation.

That's how it was, what I have seen, my story of my life, now I am old.

And now my body feels it's getting tired.

I can't work, (I can't carry) the big heavy things, nothing, that's it.

That's it, Lady, this is what you wanted to know, to hear.
