sankataga

1.

say sankatageyan et say sankataga
sakey ya ag binyagan ya inpinito dyus
angiter na bilay ed amin a dinidyus
tan say inkaanito ra
dia'd panamegley na puso
dia'd panamegley na sangi
liknaan tan engas
no iner linmesa so bilonget tan lioaoa
no iner linmesa so kolor tan korti
na birbon lapag
a tataoagen da'y taoen tan dalin

kanian nen gapo'y gapo
say sankataga et dyus ya inkasikato
salitan sankataga
nanlapua'y amin a pinalsa
tan ganaganan linmesa

say sankataga aman manamalsa
maptek ya akaalagey ed kakabatan
na inkadyus ton dili

dia'd panamegley na kakabatan to
linmesa so nalapuan na salita'y karaklan
minolimoli ed inkadyus ton dili

antis a pinalsa so mundo
ed kaoalaan a bilonget

antis ya oala'y kakabatan
ed amin a ganagana

linmesa so nagmaliw a sengeg
ono pondasion na salita'y too
tan say sankatagan aman manamalsa
minolimoli to iya ed inkadyus ton dili
