Pagpangayo sa bulan / Asking for the moon

Sa pagpangita mog pinulongan sa pagsadya
Unsaon paghisgot sa kasadya
Kining tanan giladlad sa langit
Unsa kaha og pinulongan sa bulak na lang?
Malaya ra
Pinulongan sa mga dahon,
Matagak sa panulti
Ang kawayan magkurog
Maghohongihong kon imong duolon.
------------------------------------------------------------
Wring the neck of the chicken
In your search for a language of festivity
How to speak of celebration
The skies lay all these out
Why not the language of flowers instead?
It will only wither
The language of leaves
Will fall from speech
The bamboo will quiver
Whispering if you come near.
Hope Sabanpan-Yu
