Farewell Of Caca

Alegria de Jesus Catacutan, R.I.P.
English version
by Amor C. de Jesus

Caca made her farewell, they already fetched her,
To that solid new home as her destination,
A house so beautiful, it fits her very well,
As a gift from heaven, for her to stay and pray.

As her life in this world, she has that experience,
Life is full of hardship and also much patience,
But she did not mind it and accepted it all,
And she had no regrets, and nobody to blame.

To father and mother, with so much love and care,
She shows fidelity, true love so pure to her,
And so with her siblings, she is the kind keeper,
To her nephews/nieces, she took good care of them.

And during lenten seasons, I remember so well,
With her beautiful voice, which I really enjoyed,
Reads and chant the Passion, with so much devotions,
And singing the high notes, so much pleasure to all.

And, we her own cousins, she treats us so kindly,
She shows no such envy, hatred, ire or anger,
Every time she sees you, she meets you with a smile,
Even on her last money, she gives it so gladly.

And so Cacang Angging, we will not forget you,
Deep here in our hearts, there is a place for you,
As you go to travel, to that far distant place,
The peace that you deserve, forever be with you.

All of us pass this world, there is no other way,
Like a pearl of teardrop, that flows on your breast,
Similar to a leaf, dries, detaches and falls,
Then it goes to the ground, before making its way...
TO HEAVEN.

Memun Ne I Caca

Alegria de Jesus Catacutan, R.I.P.
Neng Amor C. de Jesus

Memun ne y Caca, pepa dakit da ne,
King bayung tucnangan, carin ne pin ume,
Bale misnang santing, caya macabage,
Anting Calam ning Dios, malugud nang binie.

Meging bie king Yatu, a cayang delanan,
Dacal casakitan at capibabatan,
Dapot ala caya, sabla tinggap na ngan,
Alang parsalanan at alang sisisyan.

Caring pengari na, meging panlalawe,
Pepakit nang lugud, tapat at dalise,
Angga ring Capatad, liguran nung tune,
At deng pangunacan, liningap, sinese.

At istung Maleldu, e ke acalingwan,
Bosis nang malagu, tutung pangawilian,
Mamasa yang Pasyun, mipmung cabanalan,
Gege nang matarling, masanting damdaman.

Kecaming pisan na, misna ya ganaca,
Ala yang caimutan, e ya biasang mimwa,
Istung ackit naca, salubung na'ing tula,
Agyang yang pera na, babye na pang cusa.

Anya cacang Angging, e ca macalingwan,
Carening pusu mi, ti ca macasimpan,
At king paglacbe mu, aliwang balayan,
Manatili keca tutuc mung canwanan.

Macanyan lalabas keti babu yatu,
Perlas luwa'ng tinulu, mebaldug king salu,
Calupa ning bulung, melanat, menabu,
Muli ya king gabun, king banwa painturu.
Mamun na cu naman, o Caca cung Angging.

Y Mely G. Catacutan

Y Mely Gatbonton Catacutan,
Sapni nang Maria Sinucwan,
Mibait at meragul ya,
Tibis ning Bunduc Alaya.

At king aus na ning sinta,
King Apalit mipadpad ya,
Meging calma ne'y Rodolfo
A apu nang Panday Pira.

Oneng e la mipaindatun,
Ing buri da maglacbe la,
Mig alsa balutan la,
Miparas la America.

Misan a benging marimla,
Ketang tudtud mipacde ya,
Ginising ne ing Lira na,
At linalang yang poema.

Metung a Paninap, mumunang Poesia,
Dilang Maingat, yang cadwang gewa na,
Dacal pang tutuki, lalcas king isip na,
E ta mangainipan, panenayan tala.

Dilang Maingat

Neng Mely G. Catacutan

Amanu at pusu ning metung a tawu
Pacaingatan la't kecang pacamalan
Pamagsalita mu keca lang pilinan
Pota e sasaryan, maroc asabi mu


Itang sebyanan mu, mematawad ya man,
buyuk e milaco, bacas capilan man.
Mayap pang enaca sasabitla muman
Ing asbuc itikum, saca makiramdam.


Ita nang casebiyan, dapat tang tingiran
at ikit man caya, o etaya dimdam,
Eta mamigaua, makitid tang diwa
Ban eta miyabe king sali-salita.


Alang carapatan, eta sa manghusga
Calupa tang tawu, eta mipanyira
Nung nanung depat mu, yang marapat keca
Ita sanang sabla, mepapanupaya.

“This morning after our grocery shopping at WalMart, kitang nang Ompong nung ecu bisang dumalan "Ross". Pekibat cu: "Nung emu cailangan emu sasaliuan ban ena miragdag ing kekang gastusan". Ba ngana, pati pakibat mu macarima na naman, talaga yatang pangatawanan mu ing tuturu ng Amor keka! Mipakaili naka mimu. Tutu naman.”

Metung A Paninap

Neng Mely G. Catacutan

Ibat ketang malati cu, atin cung paninap keng bie,
Magsumicap at magaral, bang ing bucas pin salese,
Cayari cung Secondaryu, pinili cu ing macu cu,
Bang magdulap cu ping swerte, kilwal na nining balen cu.

Megaral cu TOLEDANO, banting maging Secretaryu,
Sindu cu ing pamagaral, cabang aldo magobra cu,
Bang midagdagan cu belwan, at sumulung ing bili cu,
Pamanuru'ng pegaralan, ya ing cursung inari cu.

Dapot ecu mecaturu, ena cu man manghinayang,
Keng pamilya at anac cu, ing balu cu e mesayang,
Anting maestrang talaturu, keng mayap a cayasalan.
Deng anac cu meragul la, malugud la at gagalang.

At king Clarkfield megobra cu, tinanggap dacal a galal,
Ya itang meging dalan, anting "special Immigrant"
King Nueva York yang santungan, king bye capagsubucan,
Uli na ning paninap cu, alang tacut pamicacunwan,

Kilub labing limang banua, megobra cung misnang sipag,
At ngeni retiradu na, painawa na't e magobra
Busal da retang apu cu, deng malugud a anac cu
At salamat po Dios cu, binye me cacu'y Rodolfo.

Nanu pa mu ing buri cu, nung sacaling muli na cu,
Ing Paninap keting Yatu, asabi cung maswerti cu,
Anya naman pangadi cu, pasalamat keca Guinu
Potang muli na cu keca, tanggapan me ing anac mu.

Lugud Qng Mal A Indu (v. 2)

I

Lugud mu qng mal a Indu, nung isulat me keng pluma
Detang tintang guintu’t pilac, ena abye ing gayuma
Uling ing sintang binye na, menibatan qng pusu na,
Pinunla na at sinese, meging ligaya na kaya.

II

Ninu wari Y Indu mu? Anting metung yang cometa,
Mabilis ya pangabaldug, kinislap ibat qng banwa,
Qng dalumdum nining bye mu, pepakit na ytang sala,
Biklat nu detang mata mu, lugud at dalise sinta.

III

Syam a bulan delanan na, anggang sakit pibata na,
Alus ytang camatayan, e mamacu qng siping na,
Ena na picabyang yta, ligaya na' ing mibait ca,
Uling daya na ka’t laman ning laman na at daya na.

IV

Magcanta yang Pepasusu, ena balu ing gawan na,
Terac na ca’t panaplusan, mumuma yang alang sawa.
At inyang magaral naca, ytang mayap tuturu na,
Lugud qng Dyos, parang tawu, mal a tibwan a balen na.

V

Anya nung maangu ne bye, pacamalan a Indu mu,
Anti neng mepitna keka, ing sala na niting yatu,
At ytang silbag nang lugud, nitang mal a Guinu tamu,
Cabud nala mu mipanpan , calmang lumbe pibatan mu,

VI

Ala na ngening mamapis, cacaul, mumuma keca,
At ala nang mituturu, sasaup keca mamingwa,
Ninu ing agad lapitan, king busal na nitang lugma,
Dili mu namung tatangis, pibatan mung meging calma.

VII

Talaga yatang macanyan, ing mabibye lalam banwa,
Masaya cayabe'ng tula, ating lungcut pati na luwa,
Anya yti tanggapan mu, aslam, pait alducan la,
Neng yti ing caburian na, nitang Dios tang Mayupaya.

VIII

Uling deng sablang melalang, tutuki la ketang agus,
Nung nucarin ytang sabla, ketang dagat ngan tataglus,
Keta nang pangabait mu, siguradung caulyan mu,
Ytang datang mu pang bucas, gabon ya ing pagkeran mu.

IX

Anya yka o penganac, emu dapat cacalingwan,
Cabang caba na ning bye mu, itanam mu king caisipan,
Ing lugud ning kecang Indu, yti alang cayangganan,
Tapat e  pamagcunwari, lante guintu ing panandam.
