EMA HOTU HATENE

Ema hotu hatene: Maromak diak tebes

1.       Hana'i nafatin ha’u Na'i,

ha'u ibun hahi Nia kalan loron.

2.       Ita hotu haklaken Na'i nia beran,

hamutuk hawelok Nia naran.

Ha'u buka, Maromak rona ha'u;

sadia ha'u hosi susar laran.

3.       Hahi Maromak, imi sei haksolok.

Imi neon sei la susar.

Kiak ida ba hatan, nia hetan tulun;

hetan tulun ba nia susar.
