Baton Lagip Ti Napalabas(Stone Of Memories Of The Past) Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

BATON LAGIP TI NAPALABAS (STONE OF MEMORY OF THE PAST)
Melvin Banggollay

(Ilokano dialect)

Baton lagip ti innak napalabas
Dalluyon da nga pumagaspas
Su nga di dan to pulos mapunas
Ingga na a diak to agkuripaspas.

(english translation)

Stones of memories of my past
are waves keep coming fast
that's why, they'll always last
As long as I I will not die or pass.

(Ilokano)

Dagiti napnuwan rag-o nga kanito
Agsubli-subli da kaungan ti puso,
Panununot ken iti tagtagainep ko
Tanga'y sika't ragsak daytoy puso.

(english)

Those happy moments full of joy
Keep rolling back deep in my heart,
mind and every dreams I employ
For you're the joy of my heart.

(Ilokano)

Kanayon da nga ipalagip kaniak
Ayat a napnuwan sudi ken ragsak
nga diak pulos impagarup a siak
tay agsangit ta ngay ginuliban nak.

(English)

They keep on reminding me
Of a love so pure and happy
That I'd never thought that I'll be
the one to cry as you cheated me.

to be continued as memories
of my past entwine meeeeeee.
