Sanglang kalayaan nasa ring masapit Sapagka't ang Poong maalam
Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid. tumingin
Ang siyang naggawad, nagbigay sa
Pagka't ang salita'y isang kahatulan atin.
Sa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian,
At ang isang tao'y katulad, kabagay Ang salita nati'y huwad din sa iba
Ng alin mang likha noong kalayaan. Na may alfabeto at sariling letra,
Na kaya nawala'y dinatnan ng sigwa
Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita Ang lunday sa lawa noong dakong
Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda, una.
Kaya ang marapat pagyamaning kusa
Na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala.
