Tamboy tamboy agong,
Hunihuni paka.
Anak ni Lomento,
Puro sagasaga.

Nagsakay sa barko,
Biniray sa suba.
Ka inra destino,
Banwa it Maynila.

Beat, drum, beat.
Croak, frog, croak
Lomento's kids
are wild berries!

They rode in a boat
From a river they sailed
Destined to celebrate
in the town of Manila.
