Napno iti utang iti kinaimbag

Napno iti pannakadillaw

Tiltilennak ti pannakaitublak

Dagiti pannakapaay, no dadduma

Pannakaumsi itoy a kinasiasinok

Dagiti panagkatangkatang

Da west, da nort, da est, da saut

Dagiti adu a kasaor ken dugudog

Ti panawen, dagiti panawen

Itoy agrikrikus a planeta.

No iladawak ti biagko: kastoy

Addaan isem: napait-naalsem

Ngem iti likudanna: nasam-it

Dagiti katawa ken garakgak

Iti aklili ti pasugnod ken

Pasidumri, uray dagiti aglemlemmeng

Adda iliw, adda segga

Kalawakaw, mabalin pay a bukaw

Dagiti eppes a namnama a napaay

Adda waw, saan a kaasi, saan a danum

Isuda ti ayat, isuda ti kinnaawatan

Dagitoy sakak magnada iti daga

Uray dapan dapan; uray sakasaka

Siakto dayta ti biagko a mabatik.
