Lyrics

Sam Francis Xaviera, vodda kunvra
Raat dis amchea mogan lastolea
Besanv ghal Saiba sharar amchea (Goyenchea)
Samballun sodankal gopant tujea
Besanv ghal Saiba sharar amchea (Goyenchea)
Samballun sodankal gopant tujea

Beporva korun sonvsarachi
Devachi tunven keli chakri
Ami somest magtanv mozot tuzi
Kortai mhonn milagri, milagri
Ami somest magtanv mozot tuzi
Kortai mhonn milagri, milagri

Aiz ani sodam, amche khatir
Vinoti kor tum Deva lagim
Jezu sarkem zaum jivit amchem
Ami pavo-sor tuje sorxi
Jezu sarkem zaum jivit amchem
Ami pavo-sor tuje sorxi
