Kis kil mīnda, piškīzt, ǟltiz?
Kis vȯļ minnõn vȱidaji?
Kis kil minnõn lōlõd lōliz?
Kis vȯļ maggõm paņņiji?
Piškīzt mīnda jemā ǟltiz,
jemā vȯļ min vȱidaji,
lōlidi ta minnõn lōliz,
vȯļ min maggõm paņņiji.

Sūrõks kazzõn, lāinõd mīnda
mier pǟl lōjas ǟltabõd,
lougõ vīerõs iļ vied pīnda

„Kalāmīez, um āiga sinnõn,
pūojõ maggõm tǟnõ īe.“
