 Sugiran ta kamo,
kag akon isaysay
isa ka natabu
sa isa ka lin-ay,
matahum sing guya,
sing lawas matibsul,
bukad sang kabugaw,
daw bukol sang doldol...
Kong magka-agahon,
 nagasipit sang banga,
kay syang magasag-ub
sing tubig sa suba...
Banga nia mabilog,
kay diutay sing baba,
matapuk sing buli
kag dali mabuka.
Sa amo nga ti-on,
isa ka binata,
 kay sya man masag-ub
sa pang-pang sang suba,
iya nga nakit-an
sang iya paglantaw
ma-anyag nga lin-ay
sang gugma gapukaw
Dayon pinatindog
bayong nga kawayan
agud nga si Inday
iya mabuligan...
 Apang sa hinali
ang bayong napukan,
nabu-ong ang banga
kay among natup-an...
Gani mga nene,
inyo gid amligan
nga'ng inyo banga
dili mapukanan
agud sa gihapon
kamo may sulodlan
kag kamo may tubig
nga sarang ma-imnan.
