Etukusho olmoruo tiauluo

Neyau enkushoto oltiren

Akiti enkushoto olpayian lai

Mirra ilmoru le nkima

Amu iyie otiaaka oloo Namerae

Ino irraga enkaji e mampai

Neme enkerai nang’arie kina

Neme enaikau pantawuo

Niyiolo kibirot inkabur

Meiba nkiri tenetumo

Lopayian irragie matata

Mairoto sirkon pee kipuo

Airoto nempirdai ashipa

Naitoki airot Noolmong’i

Ayiolo ajo oloika ade alo

Namanya emarti enkurrarru

Namanya enkurrarru ole Kaigil

Laashomie nkiri bata

Elong’o sampu oo Mosomba

Naikuso IIkokoyo le Nteyia

Chorus:

Laleyio ehoo, hee hiyioo laleyio eho
