'Mi jaɓaayi' o wi'i, 'Dimaaku meeɗaaka sarɗineeki'
Nden komsaaje piɓondirii dow maapinndiijo Robben Island.
'Mi jaɓaayi' o wi'i, 'Anndal umraayi woopineede'-
Ngaalaama, ammaa hultoraayi, ba yeeso buduure Pakistan.
'Mi jaɓaayi' o wi'i, Nuɗɗiire wonaa fii doolɗinaare'-
Daande nanngaaɗo, laafunde ammaa kaɓitoore to Dapchi,
Fitirla maako nyifaayi to bukkaaji dartiiɓe.
Sabu non, e doggudu jamanu, daande maako e tiiɗnii wanngita-

Heɓtoyii juulte, ɗemngal hiite hiilortoongal sorkitaade
Chibok e Dapchi, jaaynititay winndere.
