Bishiyoyin kudu suna ba da 'ya'yan itace mai ban mamaki.
Jini akan ganye da jini a tushen.
Baki jiki yana jujjuyawa a cikin iskan Kudu,
'Ya'yan itace masu ban mamaki suna rataye a jikin bishiyar poplar.

                           wurin makiyaya na galant South,
                           Idanu masu kumbura da murguɗin baki.
                            Kamshin magnolia mai dadi da sabo,
                            Sai kamshin nama mai konewa kwatsam!

                                                             Ga 'ya'yan itace don hankaka su tsinke.
                                                             Don ruwan sama ya taru, don iska ta sha.
                                                              Don rana ta ruɓe, ga bishiya ta faɗo.
                                                              Ga wani bakon amfanin gona mai daci.
