Labing a Bayk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nakapila lagon den su bayk i ama
\nPenggamitin meka pamasa sa mawatan
\nPagaran meka pelu sa palaw
\nPagaran meka pedtalaw
\nlu sa bala a walay<\/p>\n

Tuba i penggamitin ko meka mapita
\nnu kasembelan su karakel a pagitong
\nnu mawa su malibuting a pamusungan
\nnu mawa su kalidu a ginawa
\nAdidibu mawa<\/p>\n

Aren gay a kaudtang su bayk\u2014
\n‘di pakabalans
\n‘di pakatindeg
\nKawan na sambel
\n‘di pakaginawa<\/p>\n

Aren gay a nawa su kadina na bayk
\n‘di ko katawan i panun i kapambalingan ko
\n‘di ko katawan i panun i kapapadtidto
\n‘di ko ren katawan i panggulan ko
\nNawan ako ren sa inam<\/p>\n

Mapita endo magabi
\n‘di ren kawan a madakel a pagitong
\n‘di ren kawan a kasakit a pamusungan
\n‘di ren kawa su mawasa a mata
\nna nalimuran sa ig a lu a mana ulan<\/p>\n

Ugeyda su bayk anto,
\npakatindeg pon bisen
\npakagaga pon pelakaw
\nNawyag pon
\nNawyag ako pon<\/p>\n

An Old Bicycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Years have passed,
\nAma’s pedal bike is still striving;
\nmaking use of it to buy something.
\nridden when heading to mountains; and
\nridden for neighborhood visits.<\/p>\n

I use it every morning\u2014
\nto release the thoughts left unspoken
\nto take away darkness from within
\nto let go of all resentment and bad feelings.
\nMay it all fade.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the bike falls;
\nlosing its balance,
\nunable to stand,
\nslowly suffocating,
\nunable to breathe.
\nSometimes, the chain slips away;
\nunable to find my way back,
\nunable to fix what’s broken
\nLost without direction,
\nI’m left hopeless<\/p>\n

From dawn to dusk\u2014
\nnever been free from countless thoughts,
\nbitterness always lingers,
\neyes left undried;
\ntears pouring like rain<\/p>\n

Yet, the bike
\nstill stands, walks, survives
\nIt refuses to die
\nI’m still alive<\/p>\n
