    • 2021 August 26, Dwayne Jones (lyrics and music), “Magay Taraki Na”‎:
      San barbaro ay gayyemmo
      Magay tarakina
      Adimmet ta asawaen ta anakandaka
      Idi duwata paylang kakaasiak tan manloloko ka
      Din barbaro ay gayyemmo
      Magay tarakina
      You have a new partner
      Their coolness is nonexistent
      You don't like to marry because
      When we were together I am in so much pity because you are a deciever
      So when you have a new partner
      Their coolness is nonexistent
