OWA NABATIAN NGA TANGIS

OWA'T SUEOD NGA PINGGAN
Pinabay-an nga mahuslog

owa't pakundangan nandang ginhutik,

sa puti nga dingding.
Kinahangean nana ro anang

SAKADA
Buyti't hugot ring espading
Ag hawani ratong mga panamgo
Nga ginakapyutan it kalisud
Iya sa maliway nga kampo.
Tapsa ro mga pagduhaduha
Nga nagapaeuya sa eawas
Ag pas-anon ro mga kalisud
Nga nagapabakod it dughan.
Nagadaea it pag-eaom.
Ag sa pangamuyo mo
Buksi ring tagipusuon
Ag isugid sa Ginuo
Ro bug-us nimo nga ginapangayu:
Nga ro katubwan hay mangin saksi
Sa pag-abot ku oras,
Sa mabahoe nga kadaeag-an--
Ag padayon nga kahilwayan.

HAMPANG BALAY-BALAY
Bangon anay
Amon Tatay
Kag magbakal
Sing tinapay
May sulod pa
Ang botely
Pero kami
Ginagutom na.
Nagabaskuog ang ulan
Kag kami ginatuluan
Diri sa amon nga higdaan
Kag ang salog ginbahaan.
Tatay sa diin si Nanay
Nga-a waay pa ta pagkaon?
Kay ikaw waay ginagutom
Kon ikaw nakainom.
Ari na si Nanay
May dala nga tinapay
Pero ini si Tatay
Waay gid gapangabudlay.
Si Tatay waay obra
Si Nanay labandera
Kami nga mga puya
Waay kakaon, napasma.
