Lyrics:
SARSWELA
Ang pispis nga Bukaw
Ang kahalimbawa sa adlaw kag gab-i
Pirme lang sa kagha,
Ang pispis nga Maya wala gid maawa,
Ining akon dughan nga may dala nga kulba
Oh, dughan antusa nga pilit,
Nga may kalisadanan,
Ining akon dugha,
Mamatay gid ining lawas ko,
Kun dili mo tamdun, tamdun mo gihapon (2x)
