I'm recalling this story from memory, so it might not be as colourful/accurate.

 

The story takes place in the Hargega Cliffs. These cliffs are so high that, according to legend, anyone who falls off them reaches the ground below as pieces. Fardheere, an old cannibal who hasn't eaten for a while, is on the top of these cliffs. He spots a bootylicious woman walking down below carrying a chubby baby. In drooling over this out of reach blessing, he sings the lines.

 

Bal gabadhaa badhida daya ......................................Look at the booty of that lady

Bal baawdyo cadaanta daya......................................Look at her meaty legs

Bal wiil kaay sidato daya ..........................................Look at the boy she's carrying

Bal buluc-buluc diisa daya.........................................Look the softness of that fat

 

Badiyo boholaha Xargega.........................................Oceans and cliffs of Hargega

Niin xiimaayaay xidhaan..........................................Tend to block a speeding man

Nin duulaayaay dabraan...........................................Tend to tie a flying man...

 

Then he jumps and you know the rest.

Dhegdheer habeenka nalaga cabsiinayo ayaa nalooga sheekayn jiray.....

Naas gabdheed baa ii uraaya" dhegdheer said, and her daughter replied "Hooyo waa kayga"....

also Dhegdheer sings

Ma Bug wayn baa la bujay

Ma xaynkaygaa bugbug leh

Ma buurtuu shalaw ka soo dhacay

 

Waagii hore, Libaax iyo waxaas markaan maqalno waanu isku nixi jirnay caruurtan hadeerto "daddy let us go to the zoo and see a lion"..
