Wolemba Stephen M. Osborn

'Zinali zaka zapitazo zapitazo Khrisimasi
Zakumwamba zimawoneka ngati zikuwapatsa asitowo kuchoka
Ngakhale kuyika mfuti zawo pambali, ndipo muubwenzi mukhulupirireni.

Magalimoto a Khrisimasi adafalikira padziko lonse lapansi
Wanjala ndi wotopa, mbali zonse ziwiri zimalota kunyumba ndikumva
Akutsika kuchokera pa ngalande yake, wachinyamata waku Germany adalowa M'dziko La Man Man
Mmanja ake anali ndi kandulo yoyatsa krisimasi, nyimbo yake inali yogona chete.
Komabe, palibe kuwombera kuchokera Kumadzulo. Nyimboyi idachitidwa, mtengo udabzala pachitsa chophulika.
Kenako, kuchokera kumbali zonse ziwiri, apolisi anayenda kupita kumtengomo ndikulankhula, chisankho chinapangidwa.
Amuna kuchokera kumbali zonse ziwiri adaganiza kuti, ngakhale ataphedwa kaye, Khrisimasi iyenera kukhala nthawi yamtendere.
Patsogolo pawo padatalikiratu zida, pomwe amunawo amakumana, kugawana nyimbo, zakudya ndi zakumwa, zithunzi za mabanja ndi abwenzi.
Soccer inali nkhondo yokhayo usiku womwewo, Allies motsutsana ndi Ajeremani, ndipo palibe amene amadziwa kuti "adapambana."

Usiku udadzaza ndi chikondi ndi ubale, chakudya ndi schnapps, brandy, rum ndi nyimbo.
Pozindikira kuti akumenya nkhondo “nawokha,” moyipa kwambiri sanaponye mfuti zawo.
M'mwamba ndi pansi kutsogolo kukadatha kufalikira, asitikali aponyera mfuti zawo, akumapita kunyumba.
Kuitana oyang'anira, ngati iwo akufunadi nkhondo, kuti aithane.
Kumaliza zaka zinayi zowopsa, zisanayambe.
