Pulaar Proverbs (My Favorites) (via mikadoo)

Baasal warataa kono na tampina
Poverty does not kill but makes one tired
***
Si bahe cumɗi gooto fof ñifata ko waare mum
If the beards are all on fire, each person must put out his own beard
***
ɓe nengasa ɓe ne nguuba yaajay kono luggidtaa
If some are digging and some are burying it will be wide but never deep
***
Mawɗo ina jooɗoo yi'ii cukalel ɗaroo roŋku yi'ude
A seated elder sees what a standing child misses
