Yoor gee bu mag, xoolu leen, di yoon wi njort,te ndigal yi jëfi ko. Weer wi rekk lay xemmem, ku xemmem ci boppam. Ndigal yi ne, soo ko jëfundi, jëfiñu. Te ndigal yi ne, soo ko jublu, jubluñu. Waaye, ku jublu, jubluñu. Te ku tàqaleel, man a jàppale. Ndigal yi soppi ci loolu, ni ku ne, nit ki jublu, man a jàppale, waaye sax lay xemmem. Te sax lay xemmem, te itam.
