‘Ƭong alay kong harana, para sa dalagang
Ꮃalang kasing ganda, amoy rosas ang halimuyak
Ꮶung nanaisin ng tadhanang mapanlinlang
‘ᗪi hahayaang mawala pa
‘Ƭong liham na umaasang mata mo ang makabasa
ᕼandang gawin lahat, maging pamilya’y liligawan
Ⲛgayon lang nakadama ng wagas na pagkamangha
ᕼiling ko lang naman na

Ⲛakailang tula na, ba’t tila ‘di napupuna?

Ꭺng dating tamis ng pagsasama, nasa’n na?

Ꮶahit na ‘di na tayo magsasama pa
ᗪinggin mo lang ang hiling na mag-iingat ka
Ⲟh, Ꮮeonora kong sinta, ah-ah
