Di Kan To Malipatan (I Will Never Forget You) Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

DI KAN TO MALIPATAN -(Ilokano)
(I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU) - (English)
Melvin Banggollay


Di kan to malipatan uray ingat kanibusanan
(I will never forget you till death takes me)
Ta sika ti anges ti biag ko a sika't nakaidatonan
(For you're the breath of this life offered to thee)
Sika ti ragsak ti ayat ko a sika't nakaimudingan
(You're the joy of my love only destined for thee)
Sika ti ayat ko a din to matay uray inton kaanuman.
(You're my love that will never die till eternity.

Tunggal kanito, sika't ayat nga innak pagrukbaban
(Every moment, your the love I'll forever adore)
Iti nasudi ng ayat nga di da kan to pasakitan
(With a devine love that can never hurt you)
Sipud ta sika't ayat nga ingarik a pagrayuwan
(For you're the only love I promissed to cheer)
Bayat nga innak sangsanguwen biag a nakaikarian
(While facing the life destined for me to explore)


Dagiti lagip mo nga ti pusok ti inda nakaitukitan
(Your memories that in my heart had nestled)
Tugot ti napalabas nga uray inton kaanuman
(Footprints of the past that even till the end)
Diak to malipatan inga't tanem ti pakaistoryaan
(I'll never forget till the graveyard of my life story)
Ta uray sadiay ket sika to latta ti innak pagrayuwan.
(For even beyond my grave, I will adore thee)
