Yet another poem in Pangasinan language written in U-Pang, Dagupan City last March 8, 2003.

alioan tupag na puso

aya la anganko
so samput a pannengnengan ta
aya la anganko pinabli
et no unsabi'y agew
dia ed dala'y palar nasabat ka
komun ta oala ni 'tan ya imis mo
anggano singa la amagaan a palya
so impanlupa ta

dia ed pansiyan ta
arapen mo so bilay ya apatnaan
manbilay ak balet a singa anlong
ya inbalikas ed dagen
tan insulat ed danum

ag naandi'y liknaan
ag naandi'y panangaro
anggano dia ed say tua
ag 'tan balut nanabet
noágta dia ed linggis labat

alioan sika
so tupag na sayan puso
ya angaro ed sika
