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.
