(para ed si Sergio A. Bumadilla)
pitukor ko 'ra'y bolik yon anlong
a singa no bobon ya aralem
so kabaliksan to 'ra'y iguales
ed saray talurtur a nilaga
dangoan man iraya'y panangaro
ono malinak iran tagleey
alay samit iran ibalikas
laut la ed saray dalitsamba
duma so batek na sulsulat yo
ta karaklan et oala'y simbaoa
inao'd Masanton Kasulatan
mapaanlong man ono istoria
masnag ira'y taoir a kalkalar
ag la amta'y balon umaanlong
