10 Our skin is hot as an oven

with the burning heat of famine.

10 Our skin was black like an oven

Because of the terrible famine.

10 The famine has blackened our skin

as though baked in an oven.

10 Our skin is hot as an oven,

Because of the fever of famine.

10 Our skin is hot like an oven;

we burn with starvation.

10 Our skin is black like an oven,

Because of the burning heat of famine.

10 Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the burning heat of the famine.

10 Our skin is as hot as an oven from the burning heat of starvation. 

10 Our skin is as hot as an oven

from the ravages of hunger.

10 Our skin is black as an oven

from the scorching heat of famine.

10 Our skin is hot like an oven

because of the scorching famine.

10 Our skin is as hot as an oven.

We are so hungry we’re burning up with fever.

10 Our skin has become as hot as an oven,

Because of the burning heat of famine.
