Walaloo (poetic songs) dedicated to Haadha (mother) and Abbaa (father) form a cornerstone of Oromo oral tradition. This paper explores the thematic structure, stylistic features, and sociocultural functions of these parental praise poems. Unlike written elegies, Oromo walaloo are performative, often improvised, and deeply embedded in rites of passage, conflict resolution, and daily expressions of gratitude. The analysis reveals how these poems encode respect for parenthood as a sacred duty, preserve lineage memory, and articulate the Oromo worldview of safu (moral-ethical code). By examining representative verses and performance contexts, this study argues that walaloo haadha fi abbaa is not merely art but a living pedagogical tool for transmitting jaalallee (love/respect) across generations.
