Ge’halom i hinasson i Yahululo’
Annai umádingan si Saina, manhuyong hulu
manmåtto talangan hulu ya milalak i hinasso-ña
annai tåya hånom yan tåya tåno’ / minagof-ña 
si Pontan sa' ha tungo’ håfa u muna’masågue
An hiningok gui’ as Fo'na Kalang i manglo’ uma’gang gui’, 
ha tutuhon i guinifi ya i fama’iyan ha’ ma’li’e 
Ilek-ña maila mågi sa’ ti åpmam matai yu’ 
chu'le i ha’of-hu yan fa’tinas langhet yan i manglo’ 
u ma su’on i layak siha/ ya ginen i tatalo’-hu
fama’okso’ ya i fama’tåno’ 
na’huyong i sen mames na hånom
chule’ i matå-hu yao fanmanli’e i taotao siha 
ya annai monhåyan hao na’huyong i isa 
akalaye gi langhet gi sanhilo’ i taotao håya
fa’tinas i fine’na’na’ na låhi yan håga’

fane’kungok fo’na sa’ i’m about to die 
a saina spoke and told me how to keep our souls alive  
take my chest and make the heavens and the skies  
use my breathe for the wind to fill the sails with life  
take my back and craft the mountains and the land  
mix the red dirt with the sweet water and the sand  
create the first woman create the first man  
these two will be the elders from who all people descend  
make the sun from one eye to bring the beings light  
one eye for the moon so I can watch over them at night  
create beauty with rainbows from my eyebrows  
hang them above the people and i’ll smile  
at the people of the land the people of the ocean 
the first people to hear these words spoken 
fo’na the very first maga’håga’ 
the navigator pontan, i sainan i taotao håya

Taihinekkok yan taichi i hinemhom
lao gi chinatsaga ti hu muna’fanchetton
Pumoddong i hayu gi me’nan i chalan-hu 
ti hu mana’chuga sa’ hu goftungo’ i tano’ 
mañaina-hu!   na’tungo’ yu’ håfa nai taimanu 
mana’huyong i sakman ginen i hayu 
annai tåya tåno’ yan tåya hånom 
ya nina'bula i linala’-hu ni ginaddon 
Ai agon, kao magåhet ini?
na machachagi sumaki tano’-måmi guini?
  ya manmåtto siha åmmot båba ginen lagu
ti manå’amte i taotao lao mana’malångu 
hu lie’ na mayayamak i pengnga’ yan i tano’ 
maolekña ha’ fana'an  i lina’la’ gi sanlagu
hu aliligao i maolek na sagåyan nao mala’chok
chinalek manggåfa gi manu siña u fanma’ok
