English
Every Twins hail from Isokun.
A relative of the Columbus monkeys you are
Hoping and jumping from a tree branch to the other
Jumping helter-skelter, you landed in a wretched man’s place
Turning around his misfortunes into great fortune
A rare set of children that commands undue honour and respect from their parents
To your stepmother, you are an unwelcome sight
But to your mother, you are both emperors of two empires
You are the king of children!
