lyrics

Tabi ya hama yaduyi kusa nu fa nu makura
Nitin washiraran waya nu usuba
[chijuyaa ya hama wuti "chui, chui" naa]

Tabiyadu nu nizami makura subatatiti
Ubijasusa nkashi yuwa nu chirasa
[chijuyaa ya hama wuti "chui, chui" naa]

Tuke ya hijamitin tiru tsichi ya fituchi
Aman nagamiyura kiyu nu sura ya
[chijuyaa ya hama wuti "chui, chui" naa]

Shibaki witi ukaba shibashiba tu imori
Mataki witi ukaba matan imori shinuba
[chijuyaa ya hama wuti "chui, chui" naa]
