Rio Cariño

Mapteng e probinsya ni kabenguetan

Lugar ni Kankana-ey, Kalanguya, Kaivadoyan

Nangkasingpet, kaget egera fay manlalaban

Sikatoy mapteng ja sha ngo naishayawan.

Ta sikatoy kawadnan ni panmulaan tan panminasan

Shiman binmaknangan ni karakdan.

Oh Kabeguetan sikam ngo eshan

Probinsyan eshayaw ja kaoolnosan
