Ada deenoo safalakateenoo safalakateekato
Eelek beelek boom eelek beelek boom

I broke the stick, I found worms in it.
Hey stone-cutter, hey carpenter,
Bring the tools and the saw,
And meet me near the front door of the house.

Âlleek beessee oo âlleek far, Âlleek beessee oo âlleek far,

Ha ha ha!

I broke the stick, I found worms in it
Hey stone-cutter, hey carpenter,
Bring the tools and the saw,
And meet me near the front door of the house.

Âlleek beessee oo âlleek far, Âlleek beessee oo âlleek far.
