- San barbaro ay gayyemmo
Magay tarakina
Adimmet ta asawaen ta anakandaka
Idi duwata paylang kakaasiak tan manloloko ka
Din barbaro ay gayyemmo
Magay tarakina- You have a new partner
Their coolness is nonexistent
You don't like to marry [that person] because [you will inherit their children]
When we were together I am in so much pity because you are a deceiver
So when you have a new partner
Their coolness is nonexistent
- You have a new partner
