Oyo Alhalah
Aqa, ti khat halah

Aqeb ihaqahi shelah

Oyovoyo bet olgha hab

Oyo orashe temet’ab

Ashla hav khabakh sha

Haqem vakhav meshav ta’sha

Yuzuy metshem hulmuta

Yuh oyoro salam uta

Ash oyo Baqhab’oyo sha

Atum alas oroyo huy

Atum luhmesh tem’yuzuy

Ashat vash emva khav meqah

Ash khabakh vahal sha

Bate metesha ro Oyo

Bahagh loteb Oyovoyo

Halesh ihaqahi beqa

Halah takhit Aqa

Translation in Common
Earth, a man begins

The soil becomes a soul

Life fills an empty vessel

And with life comes breath

A child destined to die''' '''

Indeed, to sing of great deeds

And live these songs

In lands across the sea

Is to live an honorable* life

But battles come with death, of course

And battles come to all

And the end must come as well''' '''

So thus a man is destined

Then, leaving life behind

Memory replaces life

body becomes soil

A man returns to Earth
