MARAY NAH ЧALDAW

I’m reminiscing here one night in my youth where I spent holidays with my grandmother. She was staying in a simple hut by the sea and living with my other relatives. It was a marvelous summer. I love going there every school break with my siblings and it was always fun. I miss her, and all the things that we did.

Karawat nah turubigan
Sah baŋgiŋ bulanon
Maŋah karalwagan
Kan magturugaŋ magpipinsan.
2
Pagkatapos, napagal
Nagtukaw sah dakulaŋ kahoy
Nah inaчanod sah baybay.
Nariparoh чan kambal nah bulan
3
Sah dagat nah garoh salmiŋ
Malapatag, daчiŋ kaчalonчalon
Garoh gatas sah banaчag nin bulan
Matoninoŋ
4
Nagчudoŋ gabos sah sakoŋ kinaчban
5
Чagaŋ чamay
Pagbuklat kan matah
Nadaŋog dagoŋdoŋ
Kan чalon sah baybay.
6
Madiridiklom pah
Buminaŋon nah
Sah salog nah kawayan
Sah hamak nah karagumoy
7
Puminabaybayon
Naghaŋos
Mapreskoŋ duros
Mahayahay

Maray, maray.

BAKOŊ ЧELOH, BAKOŊ MARHAY ЧOH DAЧIH NAGЧEЧEXISTIR?

This is a poem expressing my feelings and thoughts about my transition from a person of faith to an agnostic.

1
Duчŋawah чan luwas, hiliŋah чan kagayonan kan kinaчban
Siчisay naglalaŋ kaчinih, ginikanan kan gabos nah bagay?
Siчisay nagdesiɲ, nagpagiŋчaŋay sah paŋaŋaчipoh kan tahoh?
Siчisay nagmamantinir, pinapagdadanay nah dagosdagos?
Чumawah sih Yah, sakoŋ чakiŋ чisip nah panoч nin pagŋalas.
2
Nakapaчipliч sah maŋah hapot чan maŋa hunaчhunaч
Чigwaŋ kaglalaŋ nah hinuhunaч, kun nilalaŋ ŋaniч
Чigwaŋ kagdesiɲ nah hinuhunaч, kun dinesiɲ bagah
May paramantinir nah hinuhunaч, kun minamantinir bayaч
Lambaŋ hapot maŋah griegoŋ kabaλ garoh, bakoч?
3
Чan чisip koh daчih kayaŋ saboton чiyan naŋgad.
Magчogmah dapat, daчih nahiliŋ mismoh чalagad tinubod.
Sah maŋah banal nah kasuratan nadukayan, namidbidan
Baчgoŋ tahoh, napanoч nin pagtitiwalaч, paglaчom, hiŋaloч
Ŋuɲan may sumboŋan, magpapaчaloh, magpapadaŋat sakoч
4
Butah, buŋog, bagol, momoŋ чakoh, чikah man.
Saчinman gumiчus, nababaŋgaч, nalulugadan, nakukulgan
Siчisay maheherak, madulok nah matabaŋ?
May nagkusaŋ чibaŋ tahoh чalagad biyadeч man.
Чan чeloh nah чinaчasahan daчih man laŋ ruminanih, tuminaram.
5
Kun чan pagkontak saroŋ pahiliŋ nin pagpadaŋat
Taчnoh tah чarog kaчinih чan tratoh sakoч kan kaglalaŋ?
Taчnoh, taчnoh, taчnOH, tANOH, TANOH, TAANOOH?
Gustoh koh kutaч naŋ mamateчan siyah sah buhay koŋ halipot
Dawaч nah sah lambaŋ harampaŋan panoч nin sermon lugod.
6
Tibaчad чan tuyoh niyah sakoч sah paglalaŋ, sah kalayoh чipatoprod?
Daŋugah, daчih koh kaчipuhan чan buhay nah daчiŋ sagkod,
Nah bakaч чiyan siriŋ kaчinih, nah чakoh daчih nah naman papansinon.
Giboh naŋ giboh, mayoч man lamaŋ pampakusog nin buчot
Marasah pah, tapos babasolon чakoh sah чaldaw nin paghukom?
7
Gustoh koŋ may чeloh peroh чan tratoh niyah pagчabot sakoч
Nagbubuŋogbuŋogan, tinitiчos, dulag, sibot, чisnab, haboч.
Bakoŋ siyah samoŋ duwah чan mas mahiwas чan kaчaraman?
Kayaч manuŋod sah чeloh, чan daчih pagkontak patunay
Nah waraч siyaŋ existencia чoh bakoч siyaŋ marhay
8
Kun waraч siyah, чanoŋ serbeh kan paniniwalaч?
Kun maraчot siyah, чanoŋ serbeh kan relihyon?
Kun daчih koh kayaŋ чaramon, чanoŋ serbeh kan paghahanap?
Mababasol moh daw чako sah pagigiŋ чagnostikoh
Nah baчgoh minahukom, tinitimbaŋ ŋayah gabos nah ladoh?
9
Daчih koh kaчipuhan чipaliwanag taчnoh may maŋah ŋaŋalasan
Daчih kayaŋ чaboton yan kan sakoŋ kaчisipan
Sisay makakapagsabih kun tama чan pagkasabot?
Чan чutoччutoч nah minatubod чan nahihibaŋ.
Sah maŋah bagaybagay nah puros hunaчhunaч laŋ.
