Neeni asaa mooddiyaawaanna ittippe k'umaa maanaw utteedda wode, ne sintsan de'iyaawaa loytsaade akeeka. 
Neeni daro yora asaa gidooppe, naagetta.

Hewaa mala duretetsay neeni s'eellishshin d'ayana; k'efiyaa kessiide arggantsawaadan, saluwaa paallana. 
Uuziyaa k'umaa mooppa; Aa mal"o k'umaakka maanaw amottoppa. 
Malatissanaw I neena, «Ma; usha» yaageeppe attina, Aa wozanay neenanna de'enna. 
Neeni meedda laafa k'umaa c'ooshana; ne galataykka mela gidana. 
Boozaw lo"obaa haasayoppa; ayaw gooppe, ne aad'd'eeda era haasayaa I kad'ana.

Ne asttamaarii new odiyaawaa hayzza; ne haytsaakka eraa k'aalaakko zaara. 
Na'aa seerennan aggoppa; neeni Aa k'ayis'eeriyaan wad'd'ooppe, I hayk'k'enna. 
Neeni Aa k'ayis'eeriyaan wad'd'ooppe, Aa shemppuwaa hayk'k'uwaappe ashshaasa. 
Ta na'aw, neeni ne wozanaan aad'd'eeda eranchcha gidooppe, ta wozanaykka nashettana;

Ne aabbunne ne aata nashetino; neena yeleeddaanakka hashshu gu. 
Ta na'aw, ta zoriyaa hayzza; taani haniyaawaadan hana. 
Ayaw gooppe, woshumiyaa mishirata c'iimmo ollaa mala; c'aaratuwaa oyk'k'iyaa machchatakka un"a ollaa mala. 
Aa paannuwaadan k'osetta uttaade naagaw; ammanettena attuma asaa asaa giddon darissaw. 
«Woo!» giyaa waasuu oossee? Kayyuu oossee? Walassay oossee? Zuuzuntsay oossee? Gaasuu bayinnan madus's'iyaawe oossee? Ayifii zo"iyaawe oossee? 
Woynniyaa eessaa ushiidde gam"iyaawanttussa gidennee? Walaketteedda woyniyaa eessaa ushi ushi be'iyaawanttussa gidennee? 
Woynniyaa eessay zo"eedda wode, Aa malay birilliyaa giddon p'ooliyaa wode, ushishin walalattiidde geliyaa wode, Aa s'eelloppa. 
Wurssetsan I shooshshaadan dukkee; mulumuk'k'e shooshshaadankka bare yishshaa puukkee. 
Ne ayifii be'i erennawaa be'ana; ne wozanaykka suure k'oppanawunne haasayanaw danddayenna. 
Neeni abbaa giddon hobbii k'aatsiyaa markkabiyaa s'eeran giseedda uraa mala gidana.
