Nkuapi naamanya iltiyan lang’

Ino nkena mincho kilang’

Oyiayio hoo laleyio ehoyiaayio {chorus}

Emanya ole kipuri owuasa

Le ng’oto Nakae Ilmotioo

Nemanya ilmeori eiriamari

Lololkatira Embirika

Nelo amanya enkerai oolmurran

Leng’oto kitai oltepesi

Nemanya ole Esho lolgisoi

Le ng’oto Ntitai eneika

Nelo amanya ologeli osur atua

Enting’ida naishuyie Nkunyinyi

Amen isiankikin tena kop

Neisulaki inoonkidong’i

Sasin ilmurran lirorierie

Neima nkiri enkuretisho

Era kulo tualan okuni

Linkodo nkig’i nikiya

Kinkonyaitie oltuala oikodo nkumok

Lole Sampurri loolpapit

Kiwaita temanyata ole Ping’ua

Isototo nkayiok erashe

Kiwaita ole Rakua lolgisoi

Oishuyie Naingolingola

Enchira naanetu nkidong’i

Ole Ping’ua lempere olkiteng’
