Yihooway Nuuni Baqati Attiyoosa

1. Yihooway nu baqatiyoosa;

Amma-nettiyo Xoossa.

A kuway nu shemppiyoosa;

Nu he-gan deꞌana.

I naagiyo gishshatau nuna,

A wolqqan nu ammanettoos.

Nu Xoossay nuussi qato;

SHemppiyoosa suuretu ubbau.

2. SHaꞌan qoo-dettiyaageeti

Ne mi-yyiyan kunddinkka,

Ammane-ttiyaageetuura

Hirgge-nnan ne daana.

Daro qohoy gakkiyaabadan

Ne yayyanakka koshshenna.

Neeni ay-fiyan xeellana;

Xoossaa qefiyaa garssan daana.

3. Ne ogiyan diya piriyaappe

Xoossay nena naagees;

Ne ayba-nne hirggakka;

Yayya-kka, babbakka.

Gaamuwaukka mule yayyakka;

SHooshshaa bolli hemettana.

Yihooway nu-na naagiyaagaa

Nuuni baqati attiyoosa.
