//Tamia tuta shamushami chiri chiri paktamusha//
//Kamba mama riparakpi allkumi nisha rimangi//
//Muru gallu katashkaybi likchachisha kachawangi//
//Lunes punzha tupashaga tandawallas mañawangi//
//Turiguna piñanukpi asishalla riku-pa-ngi//
//Yaya pagri kayachikpi shinallara rimapangi//
//Iskun killa paktariukpi sacha ukuma mitikungi//
//Kaymandaga llakiushami wañushalla sakishkangi//
English
On a rainy night I will arrive chilly and cold
If your mama senses something tell her it is the dog.
When the speckled rooster crows, Wake me up and send me home
And on Monday morning if you meet me ask me for a little bread.
If your brothers should get angry please just look at them with laughter
If the priest calls you in just tell him the same thing.
And when the nine months are up go hide in the forest
From here intensely you will be intensely loved (wañushalla = to die for).
