Today I will tell stories (words) of my life, of my growing, when I grew up, when I came here to San Lorenzo.

juiti nechjikyorewore nechjisꞌoyre eto to ꞌchojriikowriꞌini teꞌ to nitorisra te to njuusira te njuukopo te nutekpo te joka Sa Lorenzo .

It was like that here, there were cows that belonged to the village (lit. the cows were those of the village).

oni takeeꞌi eto to ... eto wakanini tayeꞌe eto pjoka ꞌwósare .

Now there aren't, it's finished.

juiti tajinaripo titowopo .

When I came, I started (to have cattle), there were already cows that belonged to the church here, in San Lorenzo.

nutekpo eto , nnaekchoopo , etjóripo to wakano tayeꞌeriꞌi pjoka ꞌresia Sa Lorenzo .

And now the men, now they took and carried away (the cattle), there isn't any more.

ene juiti eno no viya ꞌchanionono juiti naveꞌpo nompo , tajinaripo

And the church here is poor (now), we are very poor.

ene powreripo to pjoka ꞌresia powrewokoopo .

Long ago, the ancients were still working with oxen, cart, they had carts, and in the festivals, they used to kill (cattle) for people to eat in the festivals.

kopeni eto etorichꞌo nakemtoneyo no ꞌchosionini eto wiye , kareta , tkokaretano , ene te to piestano nakopakooꞌi to naniko eno ꞌchaniono te to piestano .

And now there isn't, we are poor, we look for food and we buy very little,

ene juiti tajina powrewokoopo vtannikpo ywachririko ongirarine

so that the food has meat in the festivals,

taketcheji eto to nametsijru te to piestano

when the holyday of our saints had come,

te titekpo te to nasáchera eno vsiñarajono .

these saints,

eno noni vsiñarajono .

these last days we have passed the one that is named Natividad Guadalupe, the daughter of Santa Ana, she has a daughter.

koperipo vetavikriꞌi su tkijare Natividad Guadalupe , schicha esu Santa Ana , esu tkochicha .

So now we will be again in this month.

takeeꞌi juiti vkijꞌeyrewrepo pjoka koje .

She, our Saint, that is named Cristo Mercedes, we call her in our language,

psukni vsiñaraji tkijare Cristo Mercedes vijarecho te to vechjiriiwo .

and then after, he, on September 29th, comes the Angel San Miguel.

ene tyompo ema te 29 de septiembre , emapo ma angel Samyere , ema .

These... now they are approaching, this month is coming closer to us being at the middle of the month.

eno pnokñono eno juitjicha eno vkijꞌepripo mani , pjoka kojerariꞌi tyaneꞌiꞌojnopo vkutkokyore eto koje .

And months do not last, this month is already finished, there are other saint's day coming forward, in the ceremonies that was always do, those that made our Lord Jesus Christ.
