1.“HAEAD KAY ARSENIA”

By Arwena G. Tamayo
Gindaehan ta ikaw it mga bueak
Nga may kasiga ku adlaw
Ag kainit ku mga hiyom-hiyom
I brought you flowers
That shine just like the sun,
And with warm smiles
To give joy
To your sorrowed eyes.

Agud taw-an it kasadya

Ro imong mga mata

Nga naga kasubo.

52.“Sa Adlaw Nga Kinamatyan
Nay Doctor Jose Rizal”
Ni Peping Tansinko Manyas
Rizal, sa imong taeahurong eubnganan,
Ngabinunyaga’t euha king ginikanan.
Sinu beaka’t matahum’g manga
kabueakan;
Adlaw ngara, akon mangginahaearan,
Ro imong mahimayaong eubongan,
Pagpamaeandong adlaw mong
kinamatyan,
Pagpanubos ku kalisdanang napas-an,
Ku banwang eumos sa kaghaag kaeupigan.
Rizal, in your honorable grave,
Showered by your parents' tears.
Who are you and why the flowers are
beautiful;
In this day, I also offer,
In your glorious grave,
To honor the day of your death,
As redemption for your carried
suffering,
For your city drowned in fear and
power.

3.“Eugtang Nahamut-an”

Ni Manuel Laserna If my blood, too, is needed,

For the redemption of your salvation,
Kong ra akong dugo pa kinahangean, Even life, I will not hesitate,
Only to you I sacrifice my all.
Sa pageubos ku imng kaeuwasan,

Kabuhi indi pagkahilakan,

Kimo ko ginahaead tanan

4.“SAKADA”

Ni George T. Calaor

Ag sapangamuyomo
Buksi ring tagipusuon
And in your prayer,
Open your heart,
And tell to the Lord,
All your wishes and desires.

Ag isugid sa Ginuo

Ro bug-us nimong ag inapangayu

5.”Hambae Inakeanon”

Ni: Capitan Juan Orbista

Saying in Aklanon,
That one story
Hambae Inakeanon about the past,
That Bangkaya,
Manat saeaysayon
And his wife,
Hanongod sa dato, Whose name is Katorong,
Both of them
Nga si Bangkaya, are still young.
Ag anang asawa,

Imaw si Katorong,

Kat sanda ng daywa

Mga bataon pa.
