Taka Bota

Kunol tita

Subol beh bori la

Nyamol beh jani la.


Ding ding kebba beh kidi la

Wuroh beh kuhma la

Subol beh boila

Muro ninfang ngoh beh wuleh ringh.


Dol beh ding kol sing na

Dol beh subol jani la

Dol beh loh njini la

Kebal beh siring.


Musol beh subol batu la

Dol beh turoh la

Dol beh jiyo bi la

Dol beh dah jong kih la.


Tilo bi na boila

Kewol beh subol sambala

Kebal beh no ma

Wulol beh no ma.


E. M. Ngum
