Kay Rizal by Santiago Alv. Mulato, excerpt

[kay_mulan]

Yadlong imo damguhanon sadtong ikaw pa ang bata

kag anay sang ikaw lampong naglabi pa gid kalata,

sa banas sang paghingabut gitubsan mo sa pag-unong;

kag sa bukid sang kaalam nga may dalag pagpaubos

pinabagrong mo ang lambas sang dumot kag pagpanubos

sa paglaglag sang bunuan sang mabudhion nga punong.

And then in your dreaming from whence you were a child
the soul of yours is one where you are the offshoot
of the province origin of the reaching of the dwelling
of the soul and being and from the hill of knowing that it may reach of going down in descent
growing in the sensation and sense of the achieving of the upending and flowing
of the heavying of a branching fruit of a living of the tree growing.
