Adtoy ti Rimat ken Darang ti Rubi

[para ken ni GCPY Enero 2, 2014 kuarenta y uno nga anibersario ti kallaysa]

Sagut ti Dios ti aldaw;  ti rabii
Dagiti malem ken agmatuon ti panagdaliasat
Dagiti tawen ken baro a tawen
Iti baro a biag
Ken sabali a punganay

Diak inkari kenka ti paraiso
Ngem adtoy: uppat a pulo ket maysa 
nga Enero a sinaruno ti Abril, ti Mayo ken Setiembre-
Napnot'tarnaw; namsek iti biag
Umang-anges; aggargaraw
Kas iti kansion-samiweng
Ti kinaagnanayon ti kararua 
ti berso, ti rima ken ken musika
Kantaankanto latta
Kas iti damo a panagdaton
Ita, napaneknekamon ti kinapudno.

Sagutko kenka ti ayat
Ti sudi; Sagutko kenka ti pannakaawat
Ti panaglupos dagiti aldaw
A mangsurot ti dana ti biag
Sagutko kenka ti isem ken katawa.

Siam pay nga Enero
No ited ti Dios ti salun-at
Iti pannagnata a magna
A mangtunton
Iti nagsaadan ti balitok
Ti kallaysa ken pateg ti sakramento.

Denggem: ay-ayatenka
Ket sawekto latta iti
Sudi ti kinaagnanayon
Pannagnata uray iti dawel
Iti salun-at; iti ragsak
Iti ungto ti uged
A kaikarianta

Ammom-ammok
Uppat a pulo ket maysa nga Enero
Ti nangtubay ti biagta
Iti saem wenno katawa
Dagiti pasidumri
Kas iti atab ken ugot
dalluyon iti taaw
Iti pannakigasanggasat
Uray iti kinamaymaysa ni Lei Esperanza
A nangyeg iti dua a sagut
Iti biag da CJ boy
Ken iti isem ni baby Lia
Iti garakgak ken inosente a katawa
Iti danggay-duayya iti ubba
Iti salinong daytoy a taeng.
Sangariwriw man a baliksek ti
"ay-ayatenka": maysa laeng a kaipapanan ti inkarik 
idi aginnawatta iti altar.
