Pag ang kamingaw mamukaw
Usahay makatugaw
Kahidlaw mapatumaw
Makapaalingasa kay di matagbaw
Makapatukaw ug makapulaw
Mahasol kag pangitag lingaw
Apan anaa pod kini gasa ug gahom
Maayong tubayan, sination ug dawaton
Kay makapugwat sa pagdumdom
Makadasig paghanduraw ug paghandom
Sa pinili ug ginahambin sa kahiladman
Namingawan, gikawilihan, di makalimtan.
