MADAHET I MATA MU

Natividad Delatado Estrella (Ivana)

Laji: Anu Maddaw Ka Mu Lipus (1997)

Dr. Florentino H. Hornedo

Marahet i mata mo, as marahet i punta mu, Mayanahu diyaken a dungduhen A duahen du vahay a di makapipidwa Du araw a dumibu du minadiyisirap A takey ni ama mo, as takey ni loyna mo, Du dichud nu rasayan, as di makagurugud Su daun nu vinuwa as di makavadichid Siu ichan ku a yuyuno du kaha ko a mavakes.

Description

A future bride’s apology to the future groom for her weakness with the hope that he should not marry her with much expectations.

Translation

Do not trust your eyes, do not trust your sight. You do yourself wrong by choosing me To be your bride – I, who cannot go twice In a day to work on your father’s and mother’s wide farms Though they be no farther than the edge of town. I, who am not strong enough to drag The vinwa leaf I eat my meals on, nor turn On its side my viand, the tiniest fish – the yuyunu, Because among womankind, you will not find a weaker one.

MADIMAN KA TA HAVAG KA NU MAYLIPULIPUS

Eugenia Cielo Alasco (Sabtang)

Laji: Anu Maddaw Ka Mu Lipus (1997)

Dr. Florentino H. Hornedo

“Madiman ka ta havag ka nu maylipulipus,” A kwan aku ni ama ko, as kwan aku ni luyna ku! Madiman aku su bekbek aya richurichuhen Ta pidañitañisay da nu nadpun a kadedevan, As payduyusuyutay ñi mayalkem du vahay, Ta tayangdet a mingaviñab du anak, Du anak nu kaydian.

Na mañita ka pa kunu su anak nu kaydian A dawat mo du apuy, a dawayat mo du danum An makapira a ka vuhan su apusen as kailut na; As ahap mo pa kunu si tavas du tukaran As dawat mo du apuy, a dawayat mo du danum An dudaw a maydudukachin

Description

A young person’s services at home have not been appreciated, and instead, his parents have told him he was better dead; so, he challenges the “old man of the house” to find another person, or perhaps order the piece of board at the foot of his bed to serve him and see if the board would obey his command. The complaint of a young person who has worked in the service of an old relative, but who has received neither appreciation nor gratitude but maltreatment instead for his pains. It is a social lament complaining specifically against oral insult from immediate kin. Theme: The service of relatives is to be appreciated above that of strangers, and it is to kinsmen one owes priority of appreciation and kindness.

Translation

“You were better dead, disgrace of the family,” My father says to me, and my mother says to me. Let me die suddenly, and without ceremony So that all my friends will weep for me, So that the old man of the house will rejoice Having said so much against me; Having so much against me.

Try another from among the children of the town To serve you fire, to serve you water, And see how many months he will endure serving you! Order, therefore, the board at the foot of your bed To serve you fire, to serve you water – and see How quickly it will get up!

MAKARANG DANA KANU KAMPANARYO

Carmen Velez Delatado (Ivana)

Laji: Anu Maddaw Ka Mu Lipus (1997)

Dr. Florentino H. Hornedo

Makarang dana kanu kampanaryo du Diwan Si minayras a paru diyaken nu kaydian; Maidangpu ko ava a manahan du rarahan, Dahmet ko a mipavatas du rakuh a rarahan. Ñiya rapakunu a mayukay si manawa na di Itbayat A mapayduminali su manawa na di Turun, Ma’y a menepenet du kapapasawan da nu Taywara dana ya su kapayñangaviñab Diyaken du kaydian, diyaken du kaydian.

Description

This song speaks of someone who has been calumniated, and he/she invokes the forces of evil to “stop the breath” of his calumniators. Dropping by to invite along another fatal power so that the two of them – now doubly fatal – would accomplish their evil mission. Theme: In the good society, calumny and slander are hateful and evil. They should be punishable by an evil death.

Translation

Higher than the bell tower of Diwan Is the piled-up wrongdoing my townsmen accuse me of; Is too heavy for the road, It weighs me down when I walk on the main street. May the deadly curse of Itbayat come to life And dash itself against the curse of Turun Shutting the breath from those Who are blabbering too much About me among my townsmen, about me among my townsmen.

Mana inanguangu ka paru ni loyna mu Du kapanapanaya na dimu a manganak? Na minapun ka pa paru du nuyuktuk nu munag a kayu Si minpaytawu dimu, si minpaytawu dimu?

unspecified artist

Mana yan’ pinamidin da pa yan’ minanuma U ichayakan su tawu ta taydedekeyen ku Imu a hariharipen a pipagaunuten Du chinan ko a mahuto, du chinan ku a mahutu

Would that the ancients had invented The means to eat people, so that in small pieces I would slice you to be taken after Each morsel of food I eat.

MANGANAK KA PARU NINU

Filomena Hubalde (Sabtang)

Laji: Anu Maddaw Ka Mu Lipus (1997)

Dr. Florentino H. Hornedo

Sinavung ka paru ñinuy? Manganak ka paru ñinuy Si du chu’s makadidiwi si saluval ko du araw, Si di chu’s di makadidiwi su puhaw ko du ahep, Si pinamalapa ku su pahung du idaud, Si pinaysaysakung ku su ahed ñi Saluwan,

Si pinaylumatas ku di suyat ñi manawa, Si turi a dimichimitan ñi apuy ñi añitu, Si turi a rayangirangan nu raya nu vinunu, Si turi a galitijitan ñi sayag ñi nadiman Ahapan ku na siyay’ si angdet ko a panawdiyen?

Translation

Whose blossom is this? Whose child is this Because of whom I do not mind distraction in the daytime, Because of whom I do not mind sleeplessness at night, For whom I have dared the breakers of the deep, For whom I have braved the waves of Saluwan,

For whom I crossed evil fields Where blinks the fires of haunting ghosts, Where glows the blood of murdered men, Where grates the dead’s funeral carriage, And where I take all my courage and put behind me?

MANGANAK PARU NINUY
