Sanomi helé, manilla keranu
Aliya irema nia lago, ture madilé
Sanomi helé, manilla keranu
Aliya irema nia madilé
Kenatu narilé, lakenatu narilé
Pasema niamo ture saro, delamaoré
Kenatu narilé, lakenatu narilé
Pasema niamo ture sanisi
Sanomi helé, manilla keranu
Aliya irema nia lago, ture madilé
Sanomi helé, manilla keranu
Aliya irema nia madilé
Kenatu narilé, lakenatu narilé
Pasema niamo ture saro, delamaoré
Kenatu narilé, lakenatu narilé
Pasema niamo ture sanisi
