[Gabatarwa] (Beat mai dumi, kick mai zurfi, hi-hat mai sauri)
[Ad-lib - French, verbatim:] Ismaël Ousmane Sawani, dit DAN‑TANTI, ici à Yopompi de Dosso, l'homme de fer
(Ad-lib: "Ousmane!" — "Dosso!" — "Yopompi!")
[Bayani 1 — 10 bars] (8–12 bars for live rap delivery)
A kasuwar Yopompi, rumfar kayan miya ta yi hayaniya,
Kafafunsa na taka ƙasa, ƙafafunsa sura ƙarfe, zuciya na iya faɗa.
Fitilu a layin titi, bankin Kogin Niger na haske a bayan gida,
Mai sayar da doya yana ihu "Dan-Tanti!" — gumi ya zubo a fuska.
Gadar Kwari na kiran suna, sanda yake wucewa sai kowa ya gyara hanya,
Yana ɗaga rumfar 'Mai Sutura', yana gyara labarin tsohuwar kawa.
Ba furuci kawai ba — aiki ne, hannayensa suna gina hanya,
Ya na lankwashe tsoro, bai taɓa lanƙwasa girmansa ba — wannan shi ne alama.
(Ad-lib: "Eh!" — "Ousmane!")
[Pre-Refrain] (Short, build-up)
Zuciyarsa tambari, yaren aikinsa mai ɗaure rai — 2 bars
(Ad-lib: "Dosso!" — call & response quick)
[Refrain — Hook (Catchy, 2 lines) — repeatable]
Dan-Tanti, ƙarfin Yopompi. (Bg: "Ousmane!" — "Yopompi!")
Ya na lankwashe tsoro, bai taɓa lanƙwasa girmansa ba. (Bg: "Dosso!")
(Repeat x2; punch end on last bar — [Beat stab])
[Bayani 2 — 10 bars]
Idan kogin ya tashi, shi ke ɗauke da natted-shimfiɗa a bakin ruwa,
Yana manna matattarar yara, suna kiransa da dariya a bakin titi.
Rumfar 'Sarkin Kifi' na kogin, suna ba da labarin yadda ya ceci gida,
Harshen gari: "Dan-Tanti!" — kamar giwa, murya tana girgiza ganuwa.
Punchline: ƙafafunsa kamar sanda ne, sura ƙarfe amma zuciya mai sulhu,
Ya na tsayar da rikici, ya mayar da kasuwa mace-mace zuwa raye-raye.
Hannu mai aiki, hanci mai ganiya — baya barin talauci ya mamaye,
Lokacin ruwan sama sai ya buɗe fatar gida, ya sa wuta, ya kawo dumi.
(Ad-lib: "Hah!" — "Yopompi!" — [Snare roll into beat drop])
[Bridge — 8 bars, denser punchlines & metaphors]
An haife shi ƙarƙashin fitilar titi, matarsa ta ce: "Ka tsaya."
Yaro ya ga shi a titi, ya ga mutum wanda ya yi gaba da salla.
Ya na lankwasa gajimare, amma bai taɓa lanƙwasa girmansa ba — murya ta yi ƙarfi,
An gina gadar kwanciyar rai daga hannuwansa, an ɗaga labarinmu zuwa sama.
Kalmar hoto: ƙyalli kamar ƙarfe, hannayensa kamar bututun gini,
Ya na buga kofa, ba ya jira tabbataccen lada — aiki ne babba.
Punchline: "Ya na lankwashe tsoro, amma ƙashin bayan mutuncinsa babu lankwasawa."

Yopo
