I
Kagayanen ake na linggwai.
(Kagayanen is my language.)
Uyi ake na dampigan
(This is the thing I defend )
daw ‘yi ake na palanggaen.
(and what I cherish.)
II
Kis-a ‘yi na linggwai pasaligaan,
(Sometimes this language is mocked,)
piro ula ko ni pasikway.
(but I haven’t rejected it.)
Imbis ake pa ni na pabugal.
(Instead it is what I boast about.)
Refrain
Kagayanen isya na linggwai
(Kagayanen is a language)
na pabuat ta Dyos para ki yaken.
(made by God for me.)
Uyi na linggwai ake na tindegan
(This language is my foundation)
daw ake na panginmatyan.
(and for which I’m willing to die.)
III
Ula kon gapalangga ta iya na linggwai
(It’s said that whoever doesn’t love his language)
mas subla pa kon ba-o,
(is worse than a stench,)
ba-o ta bul-ok na sidda.
(the stench of a rotten fish.)
IV
Gani, mga utod, ate na palanggaen
(Therefore, my brothers & sisters, let’s cherish)
tenged bisan ino matabo
(no matter what happens)
uyi gyapon ate na linggwai.
(this our language.)
[refrain 2x]
