MAI, KOKO BA

Mai, koko ba hodi hare Na'i laran diak oin sa. (2x)

1.       Hahi Maromak Ioron kalan;

ha'u ibun hahi nafatin Nia.

Maromak ha'u nia gloria,

ema kiik sira rona Nia ho ksolok.

2.       Na'i nia santu sira hana'i Maromak ba.

Buat ida la kuran ba sira be hadomi Na.

Ema riku sira sei sasi kiak.

Buat ida la kuran ba sira buka Maromak.

3.       Ha'u oan sira besik mai hodi rona ha' u

ha'u hanorin imi hamtauk Maromak.

Imi se mak hakarak moris?

Se mak hakarak hatene?

4.       Hare o nanal keta sala,

hare o ibun keta dehan lia bosok.

Halo buat diak, soe buat aat;

buka nafatin dame to'o hetan.
