Nalpay a Namnama

ni Leona Florentino

Amangan a ragsac ken talecda


Dagiti adda caayan ayatda
Adda piman mangricna
Kadagiti isuamin a asugda

Ni gasatco a nababa
Awanen ngatat capadana,
Ta cunac diac agduadua
Ta agdama ngarud nga innac agsagaba.

Ta nupay no agayatac
Iti maysa a imnas
Awan lat pangripripripac
Nga adda pacaibatugac.

Ilunodconto ti horas
Nga innac pannacayanac
Ta mamenribo coma naseseya-at
No natayac idin ta nayanacac.

Gayagayec coma a ipalawag


Ngem bumdeng met toy dilac,
A ta makitac met a sibabatad
Nga ni paay ti calac-amac.

Ngem umanayento a liwliwac


Ti pannacaamon itoy a panagayat,
Ta icaric kenca ket isapatac
Nga sica awan sabali ti pacatayac.

BIGONG PAGASA
Salin ni Isagani R. Cruz
Anong saya at ginhawa
Kung may nagmamahal
Dahil may nakikiugnay
Sa lahat ng pagdurusa.

Ang masama kung kapalaran


Walang kapantay
Wala akong alinlangan
Sa dinaranas sa kasalukuyan

Kahit na ako ay nagmahal


Sa isang musa
Wala namang hinuha
Na ako’y pahahalagahan

Isumpa ko kaya ang panahon


Na ako’y ipinanganak
Higit na mas masarap
Na mamatay bilang sanggol.

Nais ko mang magpaliwanag


Dila ko’y ayaw gumalaw
Nakikita kong malinaw
Pagtanggi lamang ang matatanggap.

Ligaya ko sana’y walang kapantay


Sa kaalamang ikaw ay minamahal
Isumpa ko at patunayan
Para sa iyo lamang ako mamamatay.

Blasted Hopes
By M. Foronda Jr.

What gladness and what joy


are endowed to one who is loved
for truly there is one to share
all his sufferings and his pain.

My fate is dim, my stars so low


perhaps nothing to it can compare,
for truly I do not doubt
for presently I suffer so.

For even I did love,


the beauty whom I desired
never do I fully realize
that I am worthy of her.

Lit 1: Asian Literature


Shall I curse the hour
when first I saw the light of day
would it not have been better a thousand times
I had died when I was born.

Would I want to explain


but my tongue remains powerless
for now do I clearly see
to be spurned is my lot.

But would it be my greatest joy


to know that it is you I love,
for to you do I vow and a promise I make
it’s you alone for whom I would lay my life
