Chapter 58
Ŋmɔ Mli Mli
Original
祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。孰知其极？其无正。正复为奇，善复为妖。人之迷，其日固久。
是以圣人方而不割，廉而不刿，直而不肆，光而不耀。
Jɛɛ
Ŋmɔ sɛ sɛ, mɛli yɛwɔ gbɔgbɔ.
Wula nɔ yɛ hɛli kɛ, hɛli nɔ yɛ wula.
Mɔnɛkɛ lɛ hɛnɛ wɔlɛ? Mɔ lɛ yɛ tɛ fɛ.
Tɛ fɛ lɛ yɛ mɔnɛkɛ, hɛhi lɛ yɛ wula.
Mɔlɔ lɛ kɛsɛ yɛ wɔ lɛ kɛsɛ.
Ɔlɔ yɛ mli kɛ, yɛ lɛ wɔ.
Yɛ mli kɛ, yɛ lɛ fɛ fɛ.
Yɛ nɔ fɛ, yɛ lɛ tsu fufu.
Yɛ tsu fɛ, yɛ lɛ yɛ mli mli.
