Maasai sing many songs of praise. Here is one I think a Maasai warrior would like to have sung about him.
maasai warrior great hunter you are great protector you are great husband you are great warrior you are maasai warrior
great hunter you are killing mighty black-maned simba (lion) that kills our cattle in the manyatta (village) and threatens great harm to our people in their bomas (homes) you are the greatest hunter great hunter you are maasai warrior
great protector you are willing to guard the manyatta through the blackness of the night with only a spear and shield as weapons but you are stronger than the enemy you are the greatest protector great protector you are maasai warrior
great husband you are you never beat me you tell me that i am beautiful it makes me happy to be your wife you are a gentle, caring lover may we have many sons and daughters great husband you are maasai warrior
great warrior you are protecting the cattle from harm providing for your family, your people respecting the elders of our manyatta serving as our manyatta's finest warrior a wise elder you will be one day great warrior you are maasai warrior
maasai warrior great hunter you are great protector you are great husband you are great warrior you are maasai warrior
You see so well the Maasai maen who all seem to be true warriors. Great write. I like to think I'm married to a Maasai warrior. He has protected me for 47 years.
Your soft voice caresses and soothes me, En-títo, and from its music I draw peace. The Maasai warrior would, no doubt, whisper these words to you in gratitude for this beautiful song. As for me... á-nyórr (I love it), dear friend.
