Natikag a daga idiay Etiopia/Ethiopia is barren country
Umay la ti tudo kalpasan ti siglo/Rains fall once in a century
Sadiay saan nga agtubo dagiti mula/There food crops do not thrive
Dagiti ubbing a masacsakit ken kanayon/The children, diseased and always
A mabisbisinan napucawda ti timecda/Hungry, are stony silent.
Agpacpacaasi dagiti limnec a matada/Their sunken eyes plead for mercy.
Naliday a lubong dagiti ubbing ti Etiopia./Ethiopia is a joyless world for children.
2.
Nalangto ti daga ti Negros./Negros is green country.
Gagangay ti panagbayakabacna./Rains fall in torrents regularly.
Natalubo sadiay dagiti unas ken taraon a mula/There sugar canes and food crops thrive well.
Adu ti macan ngem masacsakit/Abundant is the food, but sick
ken mabisbisanan dagiti ubbing/And hungry are the children
Masapul a iyaradoda ti bagida/They must toil and work
iti sangapinggan nga innapuy a matgedanda/For a plate of rice.
Limnec dagiti matada nga agsarsarita/Their sunken eyes speak eloquently
Maipapan kadagiti bacnang iti pagilianda./Of the filthy rich in their country.
Naliday a lubong dagiti ubbing ti Negros./Negros is a joyless world for children.
