Dungdungwen kanto unay unay,
Indayonen kanto iti sinamay
Tultuloden kanto nalumamay
Pagammuanen inkanto mailibay
(Koro:)
Annay, pusok, annay annay
Nasaem, naut-ut la unay.
Itdem kaniak ta pannaranay
Ta kaasiak a maidasay.
Apaman nga inkanto makaturog
Iyarpaw konto ta rupam daytoy paniok.
Tapno dinakana kagaten ti lamok
Ket maimas monto't maturog.
(Koro:)
Annay, pusok,
annay annay
Nasaem, naut-ut la unay.
Itdem kaniak ta pannaranay
Ta kaasiak a maidasay.
Apaman nga inkanto makariing
Dagdagusen kanto a sapuyoten
Nga ililili kas maysa nga ubing
Ta nanamem sam-it ni issem.
(Koro:) Annay, pusok, annay annay
Nasaem, naut-ut la unay.
Itdem kaniak ta pannaranay
Ta kaasiak a maidasay.
