VOR MOJEM LONCHEM
M: Anv tarvotti sirvis kortam tarvar,
Maka kazar zaun vorsam zalim chear,
Ani Betim-intlea voddear ubo aslolo palkear,
Tednam sasu asli mista Ponjeache dokhear,
Anv tarvotti sirvis kortam tarvar,
Maka viaz marun vorsam zalim chear,
Ani choddtanam tarvar sasu asleli dokhear
Il’lemxem gheun aplem achar
F: Zanveam vor vor mojem lonchem,
Kiteak vortouta tem Goemchem torachem,
Ani yesolem lonchem Eropak nam kednam meuchem
Kiteak vortouta tem sasuchea mogachem ….}x2
M: Moji agbott pautokuch dusrea ganvan,
Sasucheo chitteo maka aileleo postan,
Sasun chittir boroilam zanviam rav mhonn kuidadan,
zanveam rav mhonnon motteach kuidadan,
Agbotticho panko chalu zalea uprant,
Agbott yeun tenkon lagli Goeam bondrar,
Sasu ekdom neson tann nachtali dokhear mullam,
Zanvoim aila mhonn aplo goeam portean.
F:Zanveam vor vor mojem lonchem
Kiteak vortouta tem Goemchem torachem
Ani yesolem lonchem Erorpak nam kednam mellchem
Kiteak vortouta tem sasuchem mogachem.
