Awngi language
The Awngi language, in older publications also called Awiya (an inappropriate ethnonym), is a Central Cushitic language spoken by the Awi people, living in Central Gojjam in northwestern Ethiopia.
Most speakers of the language live in the Agew Awi Zone of the Amhara Region, but there are also communities speaking the language in various areas of Metekel Zone of the Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Until recently, Kunfäl, another Southern Agaw language spoken in the area west of Lake Tana, has been suspected to be a separate language. It has now been shown to be linguistically close to Awngi, and it should be classified as a dialect of that language.
Phonology
Vowels
The central vowel /ɨ/ is the default epenthetic vowel of the language and almost totally predictable in its occurrence. Likewise, /æ/, normally an allophone of /a/, is fossilized in some words and might be justified as a separate phoneme.

Love You Down
by: InojIt never really mattered too much to me
That you were just too damn dull for me
All that really mattered was you were my boyfriend
And baby that's all that matters to me
~Chorus~
Let me love you down, even if it takes all night
Let me love you down, you know it's got to be so right
Remember when you drove me home from work?
I loved the way when you kissed me bye
All of your friends think I'm just too young for you
So tell them that I can do what girls their age can do
Aw babe
[Chorus] 2x
It never really mattered too much to me
That they were just too damn blind to see
As long as I can love you down baby just be my man
That's all that matters to me
[Chorus]
Let me love you down
Ooh
Let me love you down,
I know, I know I could
Love you down, down, Ooh
Love you down, down, no no no no no no no
Let me love you, I wanna love you, down
Let me love you, I wanna love you, down baby
