Find it

Ku yeewu xaaja guddi di xool ndax saangu nga

Ku lay wax dëgg joo bëggula déeg, ni man
Someone who tells you the truth you don't want to hear
Ku nek ak fala bur bi yalla fetëler

When God loves you, you just know it
Ndax tóoxiduna boo dugg mu geénee la ci
Cause he manages to put you out of trouble everytime
Bu la nit ki bëggee doom yaay da nga koy xam

Jaam warula tëkku moroomu jaamam
One shouldn't threaten his peer
Aduna ngoongu ci suñu kanam, doom yaay
