**[INTRO — African Percussion, Bright Guitar, Rising Crowd Vocals]** Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Kaalay haasa! Kaalay saaxib! Koottu, lamma, sadi— LIFTARA! *(Explosive bass drop)* **[CHORUS — Immediate Afro-House Dance Hook]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Gubba, gubba, nu geeyna! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Kulli yaa' ulaay! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Luqunka fuula, qalbika kaay! Kaan si! Kaan na! Iska caawiya— Koottu, lamma, sadi! **[VERSE 1 — Driving Afrobeats, Rhythmic Guitar]** Gitaari magaal gubba, Naagti dukaan furta. Riyoota agteeda dhigta, Waaye buulaa sugta. Jiddu gala gaanni arka, Jidduuf yaada qofa. Tidhi, “Kaalay i agteey, Beera wadaa wadaata.” Halkee sali adoo billa, Halkee qubbah kuu keey. Jiddu gala haasa wada, Yaa' kalee nadha. Sweefin jiddu gala billa, Wada dhisna, wada dhayna. Iska caawiya yaa' kale, Waan wadaa dhayna. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Female Harmonies]** Dhulka hoosa ma dareema? Durbaan ma maqla? Gacanta saaxibka qabadha, Dunida wada gala! Maalin kali yaa' hin billa, Maalin yaa' hin dursa. Jiddu gala yaa' kalee dhisna, Jiddu gala iftiina! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Gubba, gubba, nu geeyna! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Kulli yaa' ulaay! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Luqunka fuula, qalbika kaay! Kaan si! Kaan na! Iska caawiya— Koottu, lamma, sadi! **[POST-CHORUS — Viral Dance Chant]** Kaalay! Kaalay! Taat! Taat! Gacma saree kor dhig! Bidha! Midha! Gad gad! Luuqad dareema! Lift-a! Lift-a! LIFTARA! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Rolling Amapiano Bass]** Beerreey mirga yeesa, Naagti qorsha dhista. Aabe dulqaad baraya, Ilmi fahma jira. Naagti naqshad sartaa, Ganacsi salka dhista. Iska caawiya yaa' kale, Jiddu gala hin arka. Dagmadaa ilaa magaal, Baddaa ilaa dhooqaa, Kulli yaa' hibuuna, Kulli yaa' ilaalina. Jiddu gala baldhisa, Jiddu gala furta. Halkee yaa' kala dhisna, Maalin maal hin dhaa. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Dhulka hoosa ma dareema? Durbaan ma maqla? Gacanta saaxibka qabadha, Dunida wada gala! Maalin kali yaa' hin billa, Maalin yaa' hin dursa. Jiddu gala yaa' kalee dhisna, Jiddu gala iftiina! **[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]** Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Gubba, gubba, nu geeyna! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Kulli yaa' ulaay! Lift-a, lift-a, LIFTARA! Luqunka fuula, qalbika kaay! Kaan si! Kaan na! Iska caawiya— Koottu, lamma, sadi! **[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Gentle Handclaps]** Bari doorri bal'isu, Nam'riin warraaqi.
