Mo pep mo kontan twa

Mo pep mo kontan twa,

Se gras a twa ki mo la.

Pep Rodrige, pep solider,

Pep ki konin kete boner.

To enan to kiltir prop a twa,

Ansam nou sante danse dan lazwa.

Pep ki viv sak zour enn gran sazes,

Devan travay nou pa kile, nou pa pares.

Partou dan lemond enan Rodrige,

E kot zot ale zot kiltir zot pa blie.

Souvenir zot later rest dan zot memwar,

Kouman enn labouzi li repous marenwar.

Mo pep devan to bote mo konn lemerveyman,

Dan mo leker mo viv enn bouyon santiman.

Lefe ki mo enn Rodrige ran mwan ere,

Dan mo lespri mo resanti enn gran lape.

Pep ki akeyir dimounn avek sourir,

To pe avanse ver enn gran lavenir.

Gras a twa mo enan lafwa,

E mo pep mo kontan twa.
