岡部啓一 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kuwata (soba) tsuno wovalai
Tsurizhi (swakhna) pura alekai
Kondəvain (kondəvain) umbu fərtun blonnuwail
Shurtətei (skora) chegi hiato

Chinnata (bamba) iferih pulei
Lechona (nawa) sowethi anei
Shijako (shijako) alekhni fatalinya
Nih pisha (fali) unhore sile

Utrashain aforen zhəkuraswa
Towa ihatosei, ihatosei tsufralai
Utrashain aforen zhəkuraswa
Towa ihatosei, ihatosei tsufralai
Keisha

Ulilya kozhizhi chachu kaija
Nyame fetsu mekri, fetsu mekri ling ganal




Ueri manja khutei araku
Ali laraga chei, laragath yei shindulo
