*Sweefin Music — Afar Version*

**[Intro — Warm Female Vocals, Gentle Afrobeat Rhythm]**

Oh na-na, qafar uunu,  
Durdurta, waqta saamu.  
Saaku beyya, fayi roobina,

Oh na-na, maqada,  
Kullu qalbiya, maarayyo hadda.  
Sweefin yaabbi, hayya geya,  
Loytiyo galto, saaku beyya.

Yayo naaqi, "Qimiyo kee,  
Loytiyo addunyaa badali."  
Xaxan xaboo, riyooyta,

Kun riyooyta, maarayyo hurri.  
Xabbiyo xaafi, xabbiyo quri,
