    This Filipino folk song tells the story of a young farmer who tries to take a bath in a river but cannot because the river is blocked by fallen tree trunks. He then sees the bright full moon shining and wonders how he could hold or grasp the moon to keep it from moving across the sky and disappearing beyond the hills. It references a Filipino mythical figure named Maria Makiling who is associated with the Makiling forest range in Laguna province.

    Hanunoo-Mangyan
    Translated by Antoon Postma,SVD
    Ako mana manrisgan
    sa may panayo pinggan
    sa may tupas balian
    ako ud nakarisgan
    tinambong bahayawan
    sinag-uli batangan.

    I would like to take a bath,


    scoop the water with plate,
    wash the hair with lemon juice
    but I could not take a bath,
    because the river is dammed
    with a lot of sturdy trunks!
    Anong si kanaw bulan
    sinmalag na rantawan
    kabaton lugod ginan
    salhag mabalaw diman
    no ga tayo di ngaran
    kang way inunyawidan
    palalay ngatay huytan
    buhok ngatay tawidan
    unhunon sab araw man
    tida ti kanaw bulan
    tida kuramo diman
    may bantod pagpaday-an
    may ratag pagrun-ugan
    may ili pag-alikdan

    Look! The moon so full and bright


    shining in front of the house
    How can you explain to me,
    that the rays are soft and cool?
    If a man like us he were,
    I would hold him by the hand!
    Seize the hair to keep him back!
    Grasp the clothes and make him stay!
    But how could I manage that!
    It is the moon in the sky!
    The full moon staining so bright
    Going down beyond the hills,
    disappearing from the palin,
    out of sight beyond the rocks.
