    • 1936, Melville J. Herskovits, Frances S. Herskovits, Suriname folk-lore[1], New York: Columbia University Press, page 424:
      Bɔfru dɛ krei̯, Dia dɛ krei̯, Tamanwa 'ɛ krei̯. Nō mō ala den meti 'ɛ gowe wą' wą'. Nō mō Hagu drapɛ, 'ɛ bari, ‘Bia, bia, bia, / Mi yɛre suma dɛdɛ, / Ma karaki dɛ bro.’
      [Bofru e krei, Dia e krei, Tamanwa e krei. Nomo ala den meti e gwe wanwan. Nomo Agu drape e bari, 'Bia, bia, bia / Mi yere suma dede / Ma karaki e bro.']
      Buffalo was crying, Deer was crying, Anteater was crying. No sooner did all the animals go away one by one, than Hog called out, ‘Bia, bia, bia, / I hear a person died, / But his backside breathes.’
