Se Vieg Tako No Maminsan Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

SE VIEG TAKO NO MAMINSAN
(OUR LIFE SOMETIMES)
melvin banggollay

In maducayan dialect:

Awed se tiempo vieg tako aji tako maawatan
te amud ge problema e apporo tako ilan
at urey ge ngan se koon tako aji mabaliwan
te siana se gasat tako e intako indasan
Kon no apporo tako ampusik an kavunian
kumaassi vos pige at vieg tako inna pavarowon

English version:

'There are times our life, we can't understand
With the many problems we behold at hand
that no matter what we do, we can't amend
for this is the fate we've found it so often
but if we offer always our prayers to God
He'll be merciful to give us better life with all his love.'
