Drimtaim: ORIGINAL PIDGIN

 

Baimbai ol waitman i-singawt long mi: "Eldred."

Long skul, em  i-singawt: "Van-Ooy."

Behain mi go long haus, em i-singawt: "Abo."

Yar kam na go. Olsem san. Olsem mun.

Drimtaim i-kam. Drimtaim i-go.

Na ol waitman i-no tokim mi em i-saevi Drimtaim.

Em i-tokim nem bilong olkain samting.

Em i-tokim: wan, tu, tri, wan, tu, tri, tasol.

Wantaim long  skul mi tokim drim bilong mi.

Tisa i-tokim mi olsem Mi nogat  saevi.

Yu tok Drimtaim long  mi, orait,

Drimtaim i-stap olsem,

Drimtaim i-no  stap, olsem de?

Mi tok: Drimtaim i-stap olsem,

olsem yu, dispela tebal, dispela buk, dispela skul

olsem olgeta samting  i-stap hir

olgeta taim mi wek long dispela room.
