Ilang-ilang

quing lacad-gapang cung bie
icua cung linugud

miguit quing metung

ding miglumut a bitis
ning paninap, caiabe la

ring melanguing tangque at bulung
a lalagutuc,

ulasan ning gabun
lalam ding macaiagpang impun

liguran cu la.

at quing dimla ning uran,
maniampaga cung ilang-ilang—

sisiclaud at manigapu
quing pali ning caugtuan

ban maduluc. nung misan,
caring pisac a alino,

manaquit cu—
malamlam lang mata

antimong tupang curap-curap
at magtaca.

maputla iang labi
ing asbuc ning paintungulan

at caring alacac nang mangalalam,
carin co babait ding baiu cung paninap—

sasaque co reti caring misasalbag a alapap.
ding sasapinan dang melutung a bulung

acaquit cong mapipirat
mapipitna libutad, papalto ra la

ring eran a macabaligtad
magpaldas. cuculdas. dapuat—

quing bie cu— nanupata
liguran cu ing balang pinandit

a acaquit cu nung macananung
calupa da ring salung andu-andu

baiu la miampang, paialipan
quing sala ning sicluban,

ding ilang-ilang macanian la naman—
macalale lang mamucadcad

at libutad ning mula, carin,
mipnung dingal lang tatalacad.

macanian mu siguru ing maliari rang gauan…
ing aguiu cung gauan:

talacad, pinandit salingalngal
ban mabalag at magpauasang-uasang

malaso quing dulum at patac ning uran.
