Original Version

Title: Naangawan A Cablaaw
No 28 añosen ti magtengan
Quet rebbeng unay a pagdanagan
Ti nganngani a pannacaconsumonan
Ata uray aniati aramidem
A mantucod aguirayen
Cascasdinto la nga agtuangen
A ti lasbangna nalaylayen
Sapaem ngad a liclican
Detoy cadawyan a cadadacsan
Ipaquitam la ti agayat
Quenca nangruna ni S. ken ni B.
Ongetmo net ti pengdam
Ta maysa met dayta a pagbaquetam
Nangrona no innaca tactacaoan
Ni G. a marangampang.
Ragragsaquen la dayta naquemmo
Nangrona no maquitam ida nga agcariño
Ni baquet D. quen ni M.
Ta casda la tugui iti cabudo.
Ala no casta la ti aramidmo
Dica duaduaen a lac-amemto
Ti maicapito a sacramento
A isungsung ni Don Domingo.
English Version
Title: Ridiculous Welcome
When she reaches eight and twenty
So it’s but natural to fear
The doorway to getting gray.
For whatever you’d like to do
To prevent it from weakening
It is destined to fall
For its luster withered.
Very soon you should avoid
This attitude that’s vile
Transparent you should be
Especially to lovers S. and B.
So forget about your anger
For it will make you older
Particularly when you’re deceived
By the very stupid G.
Be happy all the time
When sweetness in them you see
The old D. and also M.
Who are to a funnel likened.
So if you continue doing this
There’s no doubt you’ll receive
The seventh Sacrament
Which Don Domingo will send.
