Mayda ako kilala, usa ka mananggiti
Don-Don iya ngaran, taga-San Miguel, Leyte
Iton iya mga anak, swerte gad hin duro
Kay tungod han tuba, hira nagka-grado.
Aga-aga pala, nagtitikang na pananggot
Kay kun masirakan na, rasa’n hiwat maraksot
Iton iya trabaho, diri la harumamay
Pagsinakasaka hin lubi, diri makalilipay.
Pag-abot hit kulop, masanggot na liwat
Kay kun diri ngani, mapapabiyas an hiwat
Pero kun hubog-hubog, aw, bahala nala
Hain mas importante, kinabuhi o tuba?
It pagigin mananggiti, diri gad masayon
Makuri ini nga trabaho, dapat respetuhon
Bahal nga tuba, an naghimo hira gadla
Nakakahubog ini, ha lagas man o ha bata.
