Pangasinan version of my Tagalog poem Huni sa Caboloan. I've added this poem to the 2nd edition of Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong.

Uni ed Caboloan

sinamaew la’ran amin
ira’y matatakken ya umaanlong

sikaran akanemben na kopian kanepegan
da’ra’y tongtong tan anlong

ya binmabalitok ed kanonotan
tan ilalam da’ra’y sinaunan atateng

sansansakey tan kalkalna ‘ran inmikban
a singa aponsil ya bolobolong

tan lirion inagos na panaon
ed aoaran na pakalingoan

no anto so inekal ed kanonotan
et nabalang tan naandi

uliran man ono bilay-aoaran
tan kumbilay da’ra’y kamareruan inkorit

ed saray egpang a mansasalming
ed uniberson inakmon la’y ibolusion

ed saray kinalakian nen Urduja
ed saray boleg-Aryan na Ibalong

ed saray dinidyus tan makauley a sinulmingan
na masisibeg iran bayani tan ikikinon

ya dinmadabuk la’ra ed ilalam
tan maatap ya asagmakan

sinamaew la’ran amin
ira’y matatakken ya umaanlong

sikaran makaamta na ley na logos
tan ngaran da’ra’y musia tan aristos

panon idalatdat ira’y aoaran
ya dabuk la tan imponpon ed lingoan?

panon yaon ed lobuk
so Sagada da’ra’y kalansay

a mangipatua ed panaon
na impanabet na apoy tan dilubio?

puira labat no yola lamet
na logos so kamarerua ra

ta pian napetek ira’y lingo ra
sakbay a natoor so sakey a pilalek -

say ipatey da’ra’y nanlapuan ya boleg
tan inkianak na palun onsandi

About | Santiago Villafania

Santiago Villafania is a bilingual Filipino poet who writes in English and in his native language of Pangasinan. Born in Tuliao, Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan on 31 January 1971, Villafania graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Pangasinan in 1991. 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. In his first book Balikas na Caboloan (Verses from Caboloan), the Pangasinan anlong resurfaces asserting its tradition amidst intersecting and pollinating genres and literary influences. His book of poems, Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles , is an attempt to open the propylaea of literary renaissance in Pangasinan. This second book by Pangasinan’s leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that a

Dr. Linda R. Andaya released her first Pangasinan book entitled Gamal tan arum ni'ran antikey ya istorya . A collection of Pangasinan short stories.
