(English)
O ya diley O dagaaley
O ya dhul kullul ku jeexey
Kii diley O dagaaley
Kii dhul kullul ku jeexey
Dhagaal baa naga dexeeya
Hobeya, hobeya, hobeyaa*.
O who hit you and had a fight with you
Who pushed you and hurt you
The one who hit you and had a fight with you
The one who pushed you and hurt you
We have a problem now
Hobeya, hobeya, hobeyaa*.
Notes
