Aku tahu    asal    kau jadi

Mani    Fatimah asal    ’kau    jadi,

Di-kepal    di  tanah   liat

Tulang-’kau buku    tĕbu

Kapala-’kau umbi    niyor

Dada-’kau   upih,

Darah-’kau  kunyit

Mata-’kau   bintang Timor,

Gigi-’kau   tunjang berembang

Ekor-’kau   puchok  nipah.

Or else this version:—

Aku tahu    asal    ’kau    jadi

Tanah   liat    asal    ’kau    jadi

Tulang  buku    tebu    asal    ’kau    jadi,

Darah-’kau  gula,   dada-’kau   upih,

Gigi-’kau   tunjang berembang,

Ridip-’kau  chuchoran   atap.
