Representative Text

1 Daa, mala’iku ke shaidar
Haihuwar Yesu Mai Ceto.
Ji labarin farinciki
Wanda shi ke dominku.

3 Masu hikima na duniya
Bar zurfin tunaninku
Nemi ceto wurin Yesu,
Kuna jin labarinsa. [Korus]

5 Sarakuna, talakawa
Malamai, almajirai
Mazaje da mata duka,
Tsofaffi da jarirai. [Korus]
