Lyrics
Dendi dendi, dendi dendi
Dendi dendi, dendi bonadendi
Kusinilo si bao
Ka aya na kumpalito
Dendi bona dendi
Kukulan a ulonin
Nada pulane tiyanin
Dendi bona dendi
Ikog gin kaluda
Dendi bona dendi
I dendi o dendi dendi o dendi
Kayo banso ang amin a
Dendi bona dendi dendi dendi
English Translation
Dendi dendi, dendi dendi,
Dendi dendi dendi bona dendi
The turtle is a good cook
He is a complete kitchen.
Dendi bona dendi
His head as the coconut grater
His stomach as the stove
Dendi bona dendi
His tail as the laddle
Dendi bona dendi
I dendi o dendi dendi o dendi
And his legs as firewood
Dendi bona dendi dendi
