 ESKWEDA
Inaakew, dinavdavi
Epalado e babawi
Ngentoy eshan, sinmarutam
Ja egmo nan skweda-an
Bolakbol malad kantina
Tep ayshe malay ubda

Chorus:

Eskweda gayam numan

Mengikan ni pansegshan
Jet angken toy mo davdavan
Egkala may awawan

Jet no waray panpeshangan

Panpeshangan ni pan ubdaan
Angken mangun kababa-an
Tep sikatoy kabaelan
Nem kenshat shaha ebaga
No penshas moy skweda
(Repeat chorus 2x)
