Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Faaŋoluŋ jiya la kulo, keno la suwo le,  
Dimbaya la kumandi, kiliŋ la lafiŋ le.  
Sama le boriŋ banta, birin la taŋaŋ le,  
Duniyaa yita, kero kiliŋ le, Sweefin la kiliŋ le.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Nyoŋo la lumo, koto la suwo le,  
Kanuŋ moolu jiiŋa, laa la kiliŋ le.  
Kono la jiyoŋo, keno la lumo le,  
Sweefin la lafiŋ le—jija le kiliŋ le.

[Chorus]  
Dimbaya la kiliŋ le, jiyoŋo la lafiŋ le,  
Banta la lafiŋ le, moolu la kiliŋ le.  
Koto la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le,  
Moolu le jiyoŋo, laa la kiliŋ le.  
Sweefin la kiliŋ le, duniyaa la lafiŋ le,  
Kanuŋ la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le.

[Verse 2]  
Dimbayaa la lafiŋ le, koto la lafiŋ le,  
Dimbayaa la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le.  
Sama la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le,  
Sweefin la lafiŋ le, laa la suwo le.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Nyoŋo la lumo, koto la suwo le,  
Kanuŋ moolu jiiŋa, laa la kiliŋ le.  
Kono la jiyoŋo, keno la lumo le,  
Sweefin la lafiŋ le—jija le kiliŋ le.

[Chorus]  
Dimbaya la kiliŋ le, jiyoŋo la lafiŋ le,  
Banta la lafiŋ le, moolu la kiliŋ le.  
Koto la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le,  
Moolu le jiyoŋo, laa la kiliŋ le.  
Sweefin la kiliŋ le, duniyaa la lafiŋ le,  
Kanuŋ la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le.

[Bridge]  
Moole la kiliŋ le, luŋ la jiyoŋo le,  
Koto la kiliŋ le, jijo la kiliŋ le.  
Dimbayaa la lafiŋ le, koto la lafiŋ le,  
Duniyaa la lafiŋ le, laa la suwo le.

[Chorus]  
Dimbaya la kiliŋ le, jiyoŋo la lafiŋ le,  
Banta la lafiŋ le, moolu la kiliŋ le.  
Koto la kiliŋ le, laa la suwo le,  
Moolu le jiyoŋo, laa la kiliŋ le.

[Outro]  
Sweefin la lafiŋ le, laa la suwo le,  
Duniyaa la lafiŋ le, keno la suwo le.  
Kanoŋ la jiyoŋo, laa la suwo le,  
Duniyaa la lafiŋ le, laa la suwo le.
