Bulanglang Biyabas

            

mamalis king mula, abak a maranun
lalam ning tanaman mebaldug king gabun
malare la't dilo bunga lang malulut
maligwa kong dimput king bakyung sinuput.

mipayintagun pin, ing malagung Bayang
malapad nang igu kending king balakang
maglaku yang asan mabye biyang kwayan
meyakwa lang biyakus busal kaylugan.


biyabas belatan, b'yang kwayan keliskis
kilub ning balanga bukal banglung labis
buluganan ku nang bulung larang 'nanis
ikid ke king kalang manyapin pamispis.


ing bangi king kuran, bulung saging sep'nan
keng sabo mapali kaku yang tugtugan
p'libut pinggan sartin yapag ko king dulang
sabo da ring silyo, biyabas a bulanglang.


lalam lilung byabas, lulan yantuk duyan
apis-apisan ke ing biye a manyaman
mulagat maninap i Bayang datang ya
bukas makadwana maglakung biyaya!

Baldug Kataya:

Bayang - a female name, variant of Maria, Maring
biyakus, biakus - a fishing net
biyang kwayan - a delicious species of goby
lilung (n) - shade; root of 'salilung' (v), 'salilungan' (n)
pamispis - pot holder

The theme is a happy divorce from the serious and cathartic.  It portrays a piece of rural life, parochial and banal. To the reader in diaspora, the poem traces, chases and touches nostalgia: sartin, silyo, dulang, kuran, balanga, mabanglung bangi, bulanglang biyabas!
