ናፈቀኝ!
ናፈቀኝ የኛ ቤት ጨዋታ
ቁርስ ምሳ እራቴ የእምዬ ፈገግታ
የዘመድ አዝማዱ ጨዋታ በካካታ

አንተዬ!
የጠላው ቤት ሌላ የጠጁ ቤት ሌላ
ፋሲካው አያልፍም ሰው ጠግቦ ሳይበላ
የመጣዉ እንግዳ ሰክሮ ሳይጣላ
ናፈቀኝ ዛሬ በሰዉ ሃገር ትዝታዉ ገደለኝ
የሰዉ ከብት እያየሁ እያንገበገበኝ
ውሃ ጃሪው ዉሃ ኮሎ ሲሉኝ
ያ'ባቴም በሬዎች የ'ናቴም መሰሉኝ

ኦይ!
ውሃ ጃሪ ውሃ ጃሪ ውሃ ጃሪ
ውሃ ጃሪ ውሃ ጃሪ ይላሉ
ውሃ ጃሪ የ'ናቴ በሬዎች ጥጆች
ውሃ ጃሪ ያ'ባቴን ይመስላሉ
ውሃ ኮሎ ውሃ ኮሎ ውሃ ኮሎ
ውሃ ኮሎ ውሃ ኮሎ ይላሉ
ውሃ ኮሎ የ'ናቴ በሬወች ጥጆች
ውሃ ኮሎ ያ'ባቴን ይመስላሉ

ስም የለኝም ስም የለኝም በቤቴ
ስም የለኝም ስም የለኝም በቤቴ
አንዱ እምዬዋ ሲለኝ አንዱ ሲለኝ አከላቴ
ጎኔ ሽኳሬ ሲሉኝ
በፍቅራቸዉ ሲጠሩኝ
ናፈቀኝ ጎረቤቱ ናፈቀኝ ጨዋታው
ናፈቁኝ 'ህት ወንድሞቼ አይጠፋም ትዝታው

ናፈቀኝ ደገኛው ቄስ ሞገስ
በፈረስ በበቅሎ ተጉዞ ሲመጣ
ለአመት በዓል ጨዋታ
ሰዉ እልል እያለ ሲቀበል በምቢልታ
አንተዬ'ይ በገና ጨዋታ አይቆጡም ጌታ
የሀገሩ ገነኛ ሆ እያለ ሲመጣ
አባየ ናፈቀኝ የከብቶቹ ጌታ
ሲባርክ ሲመርቅ የቤቱን ጨዋታ
እምየ እናት አለም
ጉልበትሽ ችሎታሽ ይበልጣል ከሺህ ሰው
ያን ሰዉን ሁሉ እጅሽ ያጠገበው

ናፈቀኝ!
ያያ ታዴ ሆዴ
የሽመል አቧራ አይችልም ገላዬ
የኔ ሆድ አሌዋ ና ቁም ከኋላዬ
አያ ና ድማሙ አያ ና ድማሙ
አያ ና ድማሙ አያ ና ድማሙ
አባይ ወዲያ ማዶ ትንሽ ግራር በቅላ
ልቤን ወሰደችው ከነስሩ ነቅላ
እያለ ሲዘፍን ትዝታው ገደለኝ
ዛሬ በሰዉ ሃገር
የሰዉ ከብት እያየሁ እያንገበገበኝ
ውሃ ጃሬው ውሃ ኮለል ሲሉ
ያባቴም በሬዎች የናቴም መሰሉኝ

ኦይ!
ውሃ ጃሪ ውሃ ጃሪ ውሃ ጃሪ

Play for me!
Play for me our home game,
the boy's slingshot, the girl's love,
the game of family friendship.

My love!
The house of the enemy is different from the house of the friend,
The Easter festival will not pass without a person eating,
and a stranger will not leave without drinking.
Play for me, today in a foreign land, memory has killed me,
As I watch and tend to other people's cattle,
asking me, "Is it spring water or well water?"
My father's cattle and my mother's cattle look like mine.

Oh!
Spring water, spring water, spring water,
Spring water, spring water, they say,
Spring water, my mother's calves alone,
Spring water, they resemble my father's.
Well water, well water, well water,
Well water, well water, they say,
Well water, my mother's calves alone,
Well water, they resemble my father's.

I have no name, I have no name in my home,
I have no name, I have no name in my home,
One of my sisters calls me this, one calls me that,
They call me "long neck."
When they call me with love,
Play for me, my neighbor, play for me the game,
Play for me, my oh-so-dear brothers, memory will not fade.

Play for me, the brave priest Moges,
As he comes riding on a horse and a mule,
For the annual festival game,
As the people receive him with ululation.
My love, do not stop the play in the field,
As the host of the country comes, saying, "Ho!"
My father, play for me, lord of the cattle,
As he blesses and he anoints, the game of his household.
My mother, mother of the world,
Your kindness and your skill surpass a thousand people,
You have helped all those people with your hand.

Play for me!
Grandfather Tade, my belly,
The dust of the donkey cannot fill my belly,
My belly, or else, stand behind me.
Father, no more delay, father, no more delay,
Father, no more delay, father, no more delay.
The Nile, over there, on the other side, a little gray crane,
She has taken my heart from the eagle's beak,
As she calls, memory has killed me,
Today in a foreign land.
As I watch and tend to other people's cattle,
Asking me, "Is it spring water or well water?"
My father's cattle and my mother's cattle look like mine.

Oh!
Spring water, spring water, spring water,
Spring water, spring water, they say,
Spring water, my mother's calves alone,
Spring water, they resemble my father's.
Well water, well water, well water,
Well water, well water, they say,
Well water, my mother's calves alone,
Well water, they resemble my father's.
Oh!
The household game, the story of the monastery,
Play for me, play for me, play for me, my country,
My-ah, my-oh, oh-my,
Play for me, play for me, play for me, my country.
