Uyongu Yata’uyungana and his family

A song that Uyongu Yata’uyungana wrote for his wife while he was in prison.
The last letter that he wrote to his wife.
Is
everything all right?
Heath is more important than anything. Children are more precious than silver, gold, or Jewelry.
Do you remember this song?
It would be better if having a home and land.
It wouldn’t be a matter that the property was taken away if we had many children who were dignified and outstanding.
My soul will protect the mountains and fields.
Don’t sell our paddy field.

Someday
my grievance will be revealed eventually.
Before they take away the sewing machine, I am eager to wear clothes that you sewed for me.
I
need a pair of underpants and a four-feet long square white cloth.Before they take away the sewing machine, I am eager to wear clothes that you sewed for me.
My soul will protect the mountains and fields.
Don’t sell our paddy field.
