By: Mary Jane Day-asen Aluyen

Entako (3x) men-arado
Payew ay nak ganakgang

Padog isnan tayan , Entako et pay alan
Na-arado ay tayan, De’y entako tondan

Lalaten takon padog, Baneng entako pakpakan
Ayagan et san odan, Ta ena et sibugan

Alan nan gimata, Entako et isaa
Pagey ay kintuman, Kataguan di litagwan

Eg-egyat di biding, Maid pulos makalingling
Ta maptong san kutim , Baw-asan di uubbing
