Lubi-lubi lubi, lubi lingkuranay Ayaw gad pagsak-i, kay hibubo-ay. Ayaw gad pagsak-i, Lubi-lubi
Kon maruruyag ka kumaon hin silot Didto la nga didto la Kan Nanay nga didto la. Kan Tatay nga didto la, pakigsabot.

Agidaw-gidaw an bukaw Naglupad-lupad ha igbaw Agidaw-gidaw an gitgit Linmupad ha langit
