1 Jad kah thoh jee nee shon gwah wee.
Nen yon gwee tee yo see.
Ye yah gah wee ryah syah yo see.
Skah nee gon rat ee genh.

2 Tee yon dah dee no rohn kwah see.
KEE REES TOS sha go wee.
Jee tyoh han wah deht nee yo skahts.
Wah bon hehts hee ree yo.

3 Ka ya ne ren ka rohn ya geh.
Ne sa ren honts ha.
Ehn sa de tenh ston eh non ga.
Ne jit kon di tye se.

4 Nee nee yo nah don ha ee ree.
O nehn eh yee ya go.
O nehn yah go non dah ra on.
Jee noon weh nee NEE YO.
