Ibrahim Abdi Hati
The beauty brown girl that made mad
When I remember her, I feel cry.
Brown she is and more beautiful
Than any creature on this planet.
The beauty brown has gone forever.
Whoever met her must have
Glanced at her.
Whoever married her must be lucky
And pleased.
The beautiful girl has gone
Forever.
