Waan toosa oo dabkan shidaa.
I wake up and make fire.
Ninaamka na kuwasha moto.
Xooga biyo ah ayaan kariyaa.
I boil some water.
Ninachemsha maji.
Dhariga waan walaaqaa.
I stir the pot.
Ninakoroga uji kwenye chungu.
Maxaan aad ugu shaqeeyaa…
… markuu walaalkey yar cayaar ku mashquulsanyahay?
Why do I work so hard…
… when my brother is busy playing?
Kwa nini ninafanya kazi kwa bidii…
…wakati mdogo wangu anacheza?
