I like both translations. This one in particular would benefit
by the addition of {-Daj} to the first word. The line then
acquires an echo-like symmetry that I think improves it. It
also more immediately clarifies whether {HoS} is being used as
a noun or verb.

As far as meaning goes, I think 'angbe' and So' both work fine,
though I think because of the meter and rhyme, So' makes it
more poetic.
