TARAGAK

Tabantang hijau sawah balanjang
Gumbalo badendang ateh pamatang
Basanda gurau sasamo gadang
Sajuak ayia nyo pincuran gadang

Gunuang Marapi nan jo Singgalang
Di sinan mandeh duduak tabayang
Taragak hati jo ranah minang
Awan bararak nan denai pandang

Alah di rancah taluak jo rantau
Antah pabilo musim ka barubah
Rambang patang datang manda yo
Namun badan ko mula raik juo

Jatuah badarai si ayia mato
Takana bundo hati ta ibo
Untuang malah kandak kuaso
Ta jajak juo ranah ta cinto
