Emiliana Cabal Nobleza(Itbayat)

Itbayat Folk Songs (1972)

Dr. Yukihiro Yamada

Ay chamu ta may dana du vaxay

Ni Anbaatas. Yapu kami du vaxay

Ñapchipaxad. O ta ihangay du vaxay

Ñanbaatas. Apu-apu namen

Ay! Sumayched, uminum, uminum o,

Kuman, uminum.

Anbaatas may chami rimu

Apchipaxad tana mangay

Uminum, sumayched.

Translation

Let’s go to the house

Of Anbaatas; we’re from the house

Of Apchipaxad, let’s bring to the house

Of Anbaatas, our grandparent;

Rest, drink, drink,

Eat, drink;

Anbaatas, we’re going to you

Apchipaxad, let’s go

Drink and stay.
