Achebe did not translate the song in "Things Fall Apart" because he wanted to preserve the authenticity and cultural richness of Igbo language and traditions. By leaving the song untranslated, he allows the reader to experience the story in a similar way as an Igbo person would, immersing them in the cultural context of the novel.
