They praise Ole Kaelo because despite having stayed in Nakuru where there are people of different cultures ,he comes back home with his daughters having not been married to young men from other tribes with different cultures.

If you listen to the tinkling bells of our cattle,

you will know whether the cattle are going out to the pastures

or on their way back home.

If they are on their way to the pastures,

wait for them,

at the hills of Naituyupaki

If they are streaming back home ,

wait for them at the homestead of Ole Kaelo.

Ole Kaelo took his cattle out to the pastures,

And brought them back home without losing any.

If you listen to the twinkling bells on his cattle,

You will know it is the sound of cattle coming back home .

Young men of Ilmolelian,

Go out and meet your returning hero.

Direct his cattle to enter his homestead,Listen to the tinkling bells of the cattle of Ole Kaelo.

Taiyo sings silently a song she composes ridiculing three women who she thinks are out to oppress women.She particularly wants to sing to witches who are ready to curse intoiye nemengalana,another group that she is ready to curse is midwife(enkaitoyoni) who spies on girls who are giving birth and are not circumcised and lastly the Enkamuratani (circumciser)

Ndero uni modok

Tenidol eipirri

Nemirr entasat mata olalem

Olalem okordiloki enchashurr

Naijo ndelo uni modok
