Fiiri dabka!

Look, fire!

Angalia, moto!

Dabka wuu gubaa.

Fire burns.

Moto unachoma.

Dabka wuu kariyaa.

Fire cooks.

Moto unatumika kupika.

Dabka waxuu bixiyaa qandac.

Fire gives warmth.

Moto unaleta joto.

Dabka waxuu bixiyaa iftiin.

Fire gives light.

Moto unaleta mwanga.

Fiiri dabka!

Look, fire!

Angalia, moto!

Dabka waa la yaab.

Fire is wonderful.

Moto ni wa ajabu.

Waana mid awood leh.

And it is powerful.

Na una nguvu sana.
