Rapsodas Bicolanas, III: Cancion ni Oriol

Yaon digdi sa kaawotan,
sa tahaw kan laboy,
digdi sa sakuyang kinapupuroputan,
an minamawot mong togdokan
nin sarong magaya-gayang kinaban.

Kaya, madya, dumulok sana,
ranihan na ngani ining daga,
lakawon an distancia
pasiring sa katahawan.
Saimo an sakong pag-andam.
