Kinasiasino met daytoy a panagbirok

Wen, adda dagiti panagbirok

Iti kinaasino itoy a panagtawataw,

Wenno panagkallautang dita ken ditoy

Uray sadiay

Ala, amirisem man ti riknam

[Adda latta dagiti kinapudno: matippay latta

Ti tinapay, matnag dagiti murkat ken regreg]

Malmesak iti iliw

Iti segga

Iti ulimek

[Umel ngamin ket daytoy a komunikasion]

Kunak man no awanen dagiti sainnek

Dagiti pannakaulila ken panagsangit

Naugotanen dagiti matak

Nga agur-uray kenka.

Apay? Apayen a kastoy……

Kinaulpit kadi iti panangbaklay iti

Bukod a krus kadagitoy a panawen

Ti panagbirok ken panaguray……

Kayatko a denngen

Ti uni dagiti kundidit

Iti man sidiran ti kabakiran

Wenno iti arubayan ti sibibiag a Pikkan

Dita laud ti kalapawko a pinan-aw ken taleb.

Awanen ti saem

Naukritan a barukong

Imarisak man daytoy a malem

Iti lumnek nga init

Iladawak ti sardam iti maysa manen

A pannakaimbirna nga umaddang.

Kasla agburayok ti essem

Ken tarigagay

Lumabas manen ti rabii

Nga awan dagiti nabiag a darepdep

Awanen ti banglo ti sabong

Iti atag ti rabii

Iti sabali a panagauray.

Siak daytoy

Iti linabag ti daniw

Bay-am a mabukelak

Iti dayyeng dagiti agaw-awir

Kadagiti simmangbay

A saringit daytoy a kaputotan.

Suksukogek latta man ti pakabuklak

Magnaak kadagiti igid ti dalan

Bareng no adda agur-uray a mangawat kaniak

Iti kinasiak, ta dagiti salemsem ti sardam

Ken nalnaawan a kaltaang

Masapulko met ti imeng ti ayat.

Ur-urayek tunggal darikmat iti panagkayabkab

Ti kayumanggi wenno puraw a kalapati

Ngatuen dagiti sinilong, panawen man iti panagtalon

Wenno panagani, ta dagiti apit ken binettek

Mailaemda iti sarusar, bugas ti biag

Daytoy gupit ket dagiti kalapati

Uray dagiti sallapingaw, urayekto manen

Nga agampayagda, sadanto nakaam-amo nga agdisso

Iti abagak, iti abagam a nakaammal

Ti sabong ni ayat

Kadagitoy a binatog daytoy a daniw.
