And here's another poem in Pangasinan Dialect:

tutuntunen ko so pilapil
a singa panutuntun ko nensaman
asingsingger la so abung yo
balet singa arawdawi ni
lapu ed pannununutnunot ko
ed maliwdiwawan lupam

labin-waloy taon mo
nen sika so akabat ko
pangluwan na apat taon ed siak
balet singa ag mo ak agi
no katungtong mo ak la

dinakat koy mapitek ya dalan
nantalem ak ed ambetel
ya danum na uran
naibaan ka labat ya unsempet
naibaan ka labat no panagtanem

maliket tan dua a singa liket
na kaparak iran ogugaw
say pandumaan ko ed sikara
natalusan ko so awawey mo
tan say salita na matam
no akin et agko anta

ayew-ayewen ko so isabi na ngarem
no manpatanir ka la
liket ko so itandag na aguew
no amaga so dalan
no balitok lay kolor na pagey

nanunutan ko ni
diman ed abung-abung
dia ed tapew na deke
no panag-ani la
saray kagalaw ko et manuusilan
manpapatikyab na baga-baga
manpipista balet so matak
tan mansusulat na tula so bibil ko
ed malinglinggas mon pagew

natan inaro
akasilew so bombilya
ed bintana yo
sankarengel ko so mansib-sibek
ya ogugaw ed takayan
nen unsesegep ak

tampol ya timmerter so luak
singa ngalab ed petang
nen sika la so anengneng
akadukol tan anggapo lay linawa

agko niamot so ermen
diad arap na lakin akaasawa ed sika
antak untan met so ermen
ya agbibiten to
akapan talusan kami
ya anggapoy sakey a salita

inyamot koy luak ed sapli na uran
dinakat ko lamet so mapitek ya dalan
agko nalikna so basig na dagem
anggapo la imay abung-abung
ed tapew na deke
amataan ko balet diman
so biin akaalagey...
sika.

Santiago Villafania is a bilingual Filipino poet who writes in English and in his native language of Pangasinan. Born in Tuliao, Sta.

Villafania advocates for the resurgence of Pangasinan as a literary language. His works in the vernacular are some of the most representative, if not among the few that comprise that Pangasinan contemporary literary body.
