In ethiopian;

ber machine alene

beer or ber means flashy or shinny, evidently that is the closest word
for silver in this phrase.

machine is about the same except ma is emphasized.

alene means I've got.

So in Ethiopia they would say Silver Machine I Have.

It's pronounced  buwr MA-sheen A-lean

I got this info from a former ethiopian I play chess with.
