«Neeni Leewaataanna giyaa dawiyaa moliyaa oyk'k'iyaa mans's'ak'uwaan oyk'k'anaw, woy Aa ins's'arssaa wodoruwaan k'achchanaw danddayay? 
Aa siid'iyaan dafuwaa gelissanaw danddayay? Woy Aa gac'uwaa mans's'ak'uwaan c'addaade oyk'k'ay?

Neeni Aa med'inaw ne k'ooma ootsanaw, I neenanna c'aak'uwaa c'aak'k'etannee? 
Asay kafuwaanna kaa'iyaawaadan, neeni aanana kaa'ay? Woy Aa k'achchaade, ne mac'c'a k'oomatoo kaa'anaadan immay? 
Moliyaa oyk'k'iyaawanttu Aa gatiyaan palumettiino? Woy zal"anchchatuu Aa k'ans's'ereetsiide zal"iino? 
Neeni Aa galbbaa mac'c'aamiyan, Aa huup'iyaakka goman c'addaade k'ohanaw danddayay? 
Ane Aa ne kushiyan bochcha; neeni aanana baas'eteedda baas'iyaa hassayaade, laa"entsaade aanana baas'etanaw kajjeelakka! 
«He dawiyaa oyk'k'anaw kajjeeliyaawe mela; haray attina, Aa be'eedda ubbaykka yashshaw kokkoree. 
I giseeddasaappe Aa dentsetsanaw ooninne s'alenna; yaatina, ta sintsan ek'k'anaw danddayiyaawe oonee?

Aakko gakkiyaa mashshay ayinne allaalle kessenna; tooray, woy aday, woy gomay Aa ayinne ootsenna. 
Birataa I dalaadan, nahaasiyaakka museedda mitsaadan paydee. 
Wonddaafiyaa aday Aa bak'atissena; yambbarshshan oliyaa shuchchaykka aw suullaa mala. 
Dullay aw itti buus'a mala; tooraa s'onggiyaa wode, k'iliic'iide miic'c'ee. 
Aa uluwaa bollan de'iyaa galbbay me"eretteedda kon"aadan k'ara; urk'k'aanna I biyaa wode, maarashaadan biittaa p'alk'k'ee. 
«Abbaa pentteedda haatsaadan bukkee; s'aaruwaa giddon penttiyaa zayitiyaadankka bulibulissee. 
Bareppe guyyenna p'ooliyaa ogiyaa kessee; abbaa haatsaakka bootsa hoommoo laammee. 
Biittaa bollan Aa mala med'eti baawa; I yayyi erenna med'etaa. 
Loytsi wolk'k'aama gideedda med'etatuwaa ubbaa I zik'k'i ootsiide s'eellee; do'aa ubbatoo I kaate» yaageedda.
