Konchi-Kamo mi inkun siila;
Lemba hoka miyu-Tanii miyu.

Pikke-pila mi diigii siila,
Kaji-paka mi diiba siila;
Pore-O mi tamba siila,
Biisi-ayu mi yuba siila;
Lemba hoka miyu-Tanii miyu.











Anii-piida ho kalyan siila,
Yasi-yamu ho helyan siila;
Diimo-irre mi miibo siila,

Ditun-ratun mi imba siila;
Lemba hoka miyu-Tanii miyu.

Sulu-siikhii mi miibo siila;
Lemba hoka miyu-Tanii miyu.
