Another poem in Pangasinan dialect.

anto ni so kakanaan
ya mansulat ed salitan abangonan
no sika ya agi, anak o apo
et ibabaing mo ed arap na karaklan
balet siyan-siya ni
labay ko ya nakabatan mo
so wala ed liknaan ko

agmo komon ikukutkot ed lingwan
a singa maugues a kugkugip
o dimmalan ya dagem
so salitan Pangasinan

agko tetetelen
so atateng na atateng tayo
no anggapo so inpatawir da ya libro
o antokaman a nisulat da
agaylay dakep komon no wala
a singa aray atateng na Iloko
Pampango, Tagala, Bikolano
tan singa aray atateng ng Ilonggo
tan Bisaya

no narengel ko la
imay "malinac lay labi"
agaylay samit manaya
no say sakey a Pangasinense et mangaro
untan met komon so panangaro tayo
ed salitan pinabli
pian ag umpatey ed lingwan

bilayen tayo sirin
iramay tula tan istoryan
abayag lan akaatol
ed kaban na kanunutan

ditan tayo labat nagamoran
ditan tayo labat nanengneng
so iyalagey tan ibuna
na literatura na Pangasinan

dia ed ngaran mo
dia ed ngaran ko
dia ed ngaran nen Urduja
pikasik ya sikan agi, anak o apo
et natalusan mo
so labay kon ibaga
tan imutektek ed sika
