Wodaabe boys with red painted faces
line up in a beauty pageant
Let's hope they all find marriageable girls.
May the Gerewol festival bring them all
a young wife who likes the way sing and dance
and conduct themselves,
Lady luck lead them to dry season pastures
for these boys are cattle herders
on the edge of the Sahara
Give them a good start in life
find their place in Chad's Wodaabe tribe
like something from Avatar.
