Pamati-i
Ang ragitrit kang kawayan
Ang pagsaot-saot
Kang giron
Ang masadya nga kanta kang busay

Hugmi
Ang kaputli
Kang hangin amihan

Mulalngi
Ang sirak
Kag pagbutwa kang adlaw.

a translation of “Umaga Na” originally written
in Tagalog by Diana R. Agbayani

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
