Wlla illa!

Ulla illa

Wlla illa!

Ulla illa mizimallat gatti lilla

Wlla illa! Mizi Mallat put his pearl necklaces

Adjodagh nemshi shuya ahi netrogh ghur Mizgawa

I go quietly to pay Mizgawa a little visit.

Ag adam dish offa d-illa tallaqq dagh man illa issikta

It is better for a man to preserve his soulful nobility and keep his memories safe.

As nezdjamegh arghegh taba ed cigarette ha turhena

My anxieties drive me to cigarettes, full of illness.

Ag adam dish offa d illa tallaq dagh man illa issikta

It is better for a man to preserve his soulful nobility and keep his memories safe.
