Ivatan Laji

Singer: Aurelia Ponce, Itbayat

Ayah katayug, katayug Burinika kaviay,

Ta ihay a sapsapan u hawa du Di’nem,

Asapan ta siya u sima nu sayrin ni Aman Tumayil.

Ayah katayug, katayug Burinika kaviay,

Ta ihay a sapsapan u hawa du Di’nem,

Asapan ta siya u sima nu sayrin ni Aman Tumayil.

Oh my relative, my relative, Veronica,

Let us search the vast ocean near Di’nem,

Let us search for the fish hook, the tiny barb of the fish hook of Aman Tumayil,

Let us search across the vast ocean.

Oh my relative, my relative, Veronica,

Let us search the vast ocean near Di’nem,

Let us search for the fish hook, the tiny barb of the fish hook of Aman Tumayil,

Let us search across the vast ocean.
