Ang nasabing dalangin ay nasulat sa salitang Ingles. Napakaganda ang nilalaman ng dasal sapagkat bukod sa ito ay isang dalangin para sa kapakanan ng mga guro, ito rin ay pagsaludo sa kanila at pagkilala sa kanilang napakalaking tungkulin sa lipunan.
Hindi kaya mas espesyal ang dating kung ito ay masalin sa ating mga sariling wika? Katulad ng sinasabi ng mga nagsusulong ng Mother Tongue-based Education, ating pinaniniwalaan na ang mga salin sa sariling wika ay mas tagos sa puso at mas nararamdaman ng pinag-uukulan ng panalangin at ng lipunang nananalangin.
Ang sumusunod ay isang tangkang pagsasalin ng makahulugang dalangin na ito sa salitang Ifugao (Tuwali).
