Batsä ts1yk1w zish1wrä, shabäts1yk1w qofä
Batsä ts1yk1w zish1wrä, zighäsh1aghw qofä
Batsä ts1yk1w zish1wrä, daxäts1yk1w qofä
Batsä ts1yk1wr, qofär wey

In the original Cyrillic:

Бацэ цIыкIу зищIурэ, щабэцIыкIу къофэ
Бацэ цIыкIу зищIурэ, зигъэщIагъу къофэ
Бацэ цIыкIу зищIурэ, дахэцIыкIу къофэ
Бацэ цIыкIур, къофэр уей!

God knows what it actually means, though. The "oi-da-ri-da-rai-da" type stuff is just vocables.

The original Circassian song is this, by the way:
