Se mkpri Ndito ko eda
Uyai Mmö iwake aba mbiet
Ye imam ke inua mmö ke esak
Koro ini Uyen edide ini Idara
Ini eno ye mfön;
Mkpö anam eyen öwön önö ifiök
Ifiök esie editöhö do
Önö eyen öwön mkpö owut ima
Önö item owut uwem
Koro enye mikam ifiöke kaha mkpön;
Mkpri Nditö eku tua eyet
Ke inyun ide idap
Koro mfin uyen ama ebe
Mkpön eyedi Usön ye afan-ekon esie
Afan-ekön esie, inua ewe ekeme nditin?
