Your hair is like silk, the beautiful thread

Your eyebrows are like flags in the sky

Your nose is like a fine golden needle

Your lips are like a ripe pomegranate

Your chin is like the soft tip of an egg

Your neck resembles a white marble pillar

Your chest appears like a beautiful range of hills

Your waist resembles a soft fine-wood guitar

Your legs and hands resemble silvery walking-sticks

Your body is as fragrant as Timorese sandalwood

The Dawanese version:

Feotnai Mapules

Nâko Yohanes Manhitu

Ho \'nakamnaufme lo onlê ab-sutra, abas amasat

Ho matamnaufme onlê penpene abit neno tnanan

Ho panme onlê anet amaëkit nâko noni mnatû

Ho lulumtunme onlê lilkase fê namnaut nalail

Ho \'suîme onlê maun tekô in tunan amaëkit

Ho neomme onlê ni mutî nâko faut marmer

Ho \'basme nâtunâ onlê bnoko akeitis amasat

Ho tnanme onlê bijol amaëkit nâko hau maüpâ

Ho haem ma ho \'nimam onlê teas nâko noin mutî

Ho aomme nfomén onlê hau menî nâko Pah Timor.
