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.
