Waday babae ay inam-amuk
Kadwaana kanu sak-en sin biag na
Na-anus ya nasingpet
Sik-a gayam manseseed ken sak-en

An-anak ta dedan sin idi
Enka enggay man-ay-ayam
Adi ta pay amuy kanan da ay layad
Adak itulok ed niman
Ay adi nikan magayem
Sak-en ya sik-a et manbagbagay

Enta et mansala ay dwa
Uray manbolinget isnan sala-an
Mandengdenge sin kankanta
Kanam adam nanporma
Ngem kanak ed dibale sa
Tan san rupam et perfet para'n sak-en

Sinay ay babae
Napigsa di nemnem na
Ay manplanu's amin ay pansay-atan mi
Uray narigat unu nanam-ay lak-amen mi
Mantinulong sya din amagen mi

An-anak ta dedan sin idi
Enka enggay man-ay-ayam
Adi ta pay amuy kanan da ay layad
Awatem nan takay ko
Sak-en di lalaki si biyag mo
Sik-a abey babais ek laylayden

Enta et mansala ay dwa
Uray manbolinget isnan sala-an
Mandengdenge sin kankanta
Idi nailak san badom
Bagbagay mo ay pirmi
Tan san rupam et perfet para'n sak-en

Enta et mansala ay dwa
Uray manbolinget isnan sala-an
Mandengdenge sin kankanta
Edwani nailak sik-a
Naragsak nan rikna ta
Tay dwa ta, Sik-a et perfect
Naragsak di riknak tan perfect ka para'n sak-en
