“Ray la agsagsagking ni Apo Inting
No umallop iti nalapsat a bullilising
Iti awayda Barangay Sunsunting
Kayatna nga ipakat sala ti landing.
Nagaygayand pay isemna a sumungad
Kasta met agongna agbistrabistrad
Ayaunay ketdin bengbeng ti pomada istitsayd
Kimmabbeng buokna a ludingas
Pispis kimmurabbeng, teltel
A pimmaratipit, abaga a narba
Ken bibig a kimmurarapnit.

Ni Ulling ti diniritsona
Anian a sala, umlek ken kumsialen
Ni Ikit Kiliten nga agbuybuya, namak pay no ikastoyna
Nga ikasdiay, saksakana, inna ikuy-at
Sana ikusay; kumamat a manglawlaw
Sumalikawkaw pay ket imleken ni Apo Kabaw.

Gumintang imana inna itag-ay
Medio payapay sa maisurot a matayutay
No umisem nga agal-al ti nalabaga a katay
Namak pay narban san ti sibubukel nga away
Naparagsit a sala ngem bin-ig a kapakay.

Iparaipusna a kuna: Ulling, agkalaingta gayam
Nupay duma ti edadta, aywen di la mabalin aya
Yanaymo man la ketdin ‘ta bintingmo
Tapno agtiponda sangagasuten ti edadta a dua?
