Gusto ko nga sapdingon
makolor nga bugkos
ang kaanyag daw sa rosas

Pero kang akon kusipadon
nagpabaya man,
galing ako duguan.

-a translation of “Mahiyaing Matapang” originally written in Tagalog by Franco Sangreo Coralde

This poetry in translation is a work in progress as there are Tagalog words that I find difficult to translate in the regional language of Kinaray-a. Be that as it may, I wish to extend my cordial invitation for you to read my thoughts on poetic verses and check my blog site STROKES OF MY HAND via http://yulespartero.blogspot.com
