Gatluak
by South Sudanese, Activist and War Survivor NYARUACH.
The 2nd release off the joint album NAATH between Emmanuel Jal and his sister Nyaruach.
Naath is a vivacious Afropop album where Emmanuel and Nyaruach have drawn from the sounds of the South Sudanese village.
"South Sudan is still suffering from years of war and oppression, we feel it is our cultural responsibility to bring out the music and voices from our country. As siblings we were forced apart in our childhood through extreme circumstances, so we are excited to be united on this project to bring the sounds of our village to the mainstream."
Emmanuel & Nyaruach.
The music video is shot by young people living at Kakuma Refugee Camp and Turkana County.

Engen chang eah rom ke kon
Churi ngah math ke ajah bari churi jal rei bari
Chuone jal chuoni jal rei kah town
Lart ne nhok kamnikon
Churi chos lojdah chin thol Sudan
Translation.
From when we met, you bought me cold drinks, you took me around in the deep waters, we walk and walk around in the town talking about love among ourselves, you entered my heart Sudanese boy.
Chorus
Verse 2
Chuo char chuo char rei dar war,
Chuo cher eh balang nyiet Ngan war mah chalok
Eh Nyabany Nyanuar lojdah che jiak e ngo machi jiak kam dan
En duor lojdah che jiak che tuoth dor.
Translation
Like thinking, like thinking in the middle of the night about you like a handsome man from Ngat war whose heart was broken by Nyabany Nyanuar, my heart felt so bad about what happened between us, my heart is broken you cursed it to the wild.
Chorus
Verse 3
You refuse to pick my phone after you get what you want
You are such a bastard guy, I just want to say good-bye
May God bless you where you are
You boring man - with no plan
With no plan
