Atin Cu Pung Singsing
(I Have a Ring)
I do possess
a ring
An adorned kind of ring
Which I inherited
From mom, my
descent.
I willingly hid
it
On a single coffer
It was lost
suddenly
Without me noticing.
The remorse
that I felt
Extends to
the heavens
I placed my
crossed hands
On a countertop.
Whoever
could have found
My inherited
ring
My melancholic
heart
Is imploring
on him.Original Pampango Version:
Atin cu pung singsing
Metung yang timpukan
Amana ke iti
Quing indung pibatan.
Sangkan queng sininup
Quing metung a kaban
Mewala ya iti
Ecu kamalayan.
Ing sucal ning lub cu
Susukdul quing banwa
Micurus qung gamat
Babo ning la mesa.
Ninu mang menakit
Quing sensing qung mana
Kalulung pusu qu
Manginu ya queya.
