A Kabaleyan’s Thoughts…

Gurgurlis ed Banua

Landscape with Figures (1942) nen Carlos Bulosan,

impatalus ed salitan Pangasinan nen Santiago B. Villafania

 

PASEMPET lamet tatandaga’y bitewen ed biek-taew,

say awaran et niduman siplog na dagem ed kanonotan

ya sinmabin yalalig ira’y babuak-pataboy na taon iran aman:

 

sempetan ya pakalmoan na pasen ya abalang ed saray

signos na sansinakuban. Saray pugaro naandi la.

Saray nankarayan alingwanan… Sasalien ya nonoten so kanaway

tan sarama’y atiguay ed nababalang ya dalin

(pokepokel ed talba no iner inatey ira’y atateng tayon duka),

say panwawaywaya et asagmak ed ambelat ya alaal

na pabaing ed panaon diman.

 

Say banua et maruksa ed sinulmingan:

awaran: ngara’y totoo: palar na bilay:

amin ya arawin salinap a nginmeswa tan kinmiwas,

bebetagen to ‘ra’y kabkabat ya ngarangaran ya pinepe’y

maando ‘ran sangi pian say puso yakis to, “Say sempetan sananey ya ayaman,

kada kupbang paarap et kupbang paarap ed talon lasus ya taon

na impangekal ed katuaan…”

 

Aliwan dapit-sempetan

ed onan taniag a dalin, ono intaynan

ed amputin beyebey na dayat ya ombubuneknek ed baybay,

odino aron onlulukso ed saray ketegan na lakseb dia’d kamarerua,

bangta maawang ya tawir na bakal tan kaderal onteterak

ya bengatla para ed saray manbibilay tan labay da’y ompatey.

 

Say bilay et bayes ya salita. Kada too alingon imbalikas to’ya…

Pangasinan Ghazal 57

 

say amtak no awawas ak la’d sika

talampong ka ed sayan pililikna

 

agni naomas ed isip ko’y lupan

nipaet lan andi’y talang ed walna

 

ag nilikod so maabig mon waleng

amalayon ed siak ya aroen ka

 

anggano nilegias so palar tan dua

inmonung ak lapu’d pinabli taka

 

nipanon konon saksakey so oked

anta palawpaw iyan singa apa

 

agko naoynot ed nonot no anto

so masalamsam a yanlong ed sika

 

ghazal man iyan maralus ya ayat

manempey na panpilalek ko’d sika
