Mudtū nanaman akong nagisəng
Kwasa lawod na sige panaŋgad
Piripildit kadtong kompyuter
Tambak a  gigibohon pauno
Malang sakit pag naədâan ikang trabawo
Dāwâ unong mag-ābot tinitira
Magka-income sanā nguwan na pandemya
Masakit a pagbuɣay nguwan
Bana niloloko kita ka kanatəng gobyerno

"Urāsâ ayy!" Sabi ni inay
Kwasa kaya nakakape ika malaka mudtū
Pano ka diri iinitan ka tramuya **** iton

Nalingawan ko, paborito palan niya a kape
Ay ta dawa malang ŋisnitan na malaka-pwerte paghigop niya.

Siguro tinutuod kita sa pasakit na tinatao kanatə arog kading gibo ko, nagkakape naman ako dāwâ malaka-mudtū, diretso sa lalawgə̄n ko a sulô galin sa langit, pinipirit na indahon a kulog tas pait, ŋata ta kaipuhan kitang pasakitan kin pwede man sanang ayoson a nasasakupan, ay inda maray pa magkape na sanā.
1. Urāsâ, hot, warmth, sweltering; "Urāsâ ayy!", An experession you say when feel very very hot and sweaty.

Bari waxaa jiri
Two garments both alike, indignantly
In the shoe closet
Where we lay our seen
Star-crossed lovers can't hold a candle
To Abti Sock and Mamo Sandal

A Bonnie and Clyde of sorts
Fugitives of the fashion police
Not a season anywhere
Can they live together in total peace

Not too hot
Not too cold
Can't get wet
And they're always old

I can not wear them in the Fadhi
I can not wear then on the Salli
I can not wear them eating beer
I can not wear them anywhere

Mamo, Where'd you find this shabby sham
Who lives beneath the sole of man
She answered on demand
“Waxaan daganahay, Habo macaan,
Cag walba oo noo banaan ”
Adna Abti, Where would you say
Did your luck finally come into play
Finger shaking, he proclaimed
“Horta, wax kama galin gabaryahay,
Dacaskaan bass baan ka helay”

250 a.d, the style arose
Egypt claimed to fit the mold
A two pronged slipper hooved their people
To pair in hot climate
They made it legal
Actually it was the first
That Abti came from Mamos birth
I guess you can say they always were
Two of a kind, they naturally occur
Hi there,
Some of this is in Somali, so here's the translation
Forgive me as I might not have the adequate interpretation
Bari waxaa jiri- Once upon a time
Abti- Uncle
Mamo- Generally for older women and a nonspecific relation status but it is inferred that they are a married couple
Fadhi- living room
Salli- prayer mat
beer- liver
Mamo dialogue- I live dear person I am Aunt to, whichever foot we find room together.
Abti dialogue- First of all it's none of your business young lady, I am quite fond of this sandal.
