Town, Wake Up! (Dapitan)
Town, Wake Up! (Dapitan)
(Dapitan)
Rachel R. Acaylar
Translated by Eduardo P. Ortega
The waves
Sole witness
Of sufferings and joys
In her lap
Bewitching
The shy face
Renowned
The name written
On the pages of history
But,
Despite the honor and wealth
You seem sleepy still
Why, how long is the sleep
Until when is the apathy
To the merry making and spinning world?
Patuloy na mapayapa
Nag-iisang saksi
Sa kandungan niya
Nakakapang-akit
Kilala
pero,
Mukhang inaantok ka pa
Ipakita
Ang lakas mo
Ng iyong oras
