Eski yihun endalkewu, biilewum libein Qirr
Enei endalkut minim ayhon, ayregam yante fiQirr
Bel samilign yanten kenfer, samilign kalmeTaah
YemalweQasih minim alill, endalay siiCHenQihh

Kemayih angetihin, kemayih sitidefa
Kemayih yiQer litewu, kemayih sitikefa

Beggena genna, yibis endaymeTa
Yihin endalaTa, elalehu
KeTSiTSitim ena, TiQiitun abzichei ayalehu
Biilegnim Qirr, yihim endayQerr
Ere aygeliTSih fiQrih Qommo
SaTah edekmalehu, sayih ekefalehu Qedmo

LiwoQsih elinna, yelibein awuTichei
Demo etewowalewu, CHinQihin ayichei
LiwoQsih elinna, yelibein awuTichei
Demo etewowalewu, CHinQihin ayichei

Eski yihun endalkewu, biilewum libein Qirr
Enei endalkut minim ayhon, ayregam yante fiQirr
Bel samilign yanten kenfer, samilign kalmeTaah
YemalweQasih minim alill, endalay siiCHenQihh

Kemayih angetihin, kemayih sitidefa
Kemayih yiQir litewu, kemayih sitikefa
