    panalangin sa'yo. Hindi ko tuloy maalis saking isipan na ayaw nyo na akong tulungan.

    Kung gayon, papaano na ako, sinong aking malalapitan at makakapitan kung ang Diyos
    mismo ay ayaw na akong tulungan!

    Paalam na Albanya, aking sinilangan, patawarin mo na lang ako dahil Hindi kita
    naipagtanggol.

    Toming:
    “sa kiyas ko ngayo’t tindig.
    Sout-kastila ang damit
    Sukat na maubang umibig
    Ni Menanggeng sadyang dikit.

    Pagkat nang siya’y ligawan


    Ng damit-Itang natural
    Ay di man ako titigan
    Kahit may regaling taglay
    Ako naman ay nagsuot
    Damit-mestisong tagalog
    Nagpustiso pa ng buhok
    Hindi ko rin napairog.

    Umuli akong nanamit


    Ng baro’t salawal Intsik
    Regalo kong dala’y pagkit
    Hindo ko rin napaibig
    Nagpatabas ako ngani
    Damit-Morong Balangginggi
    Hindi ko rin napagiri
    Ang sinta kong si Menangge.

    Aber, kung siya’y sumisinta


    Ngayong ako’y de-lebita
    Pagkat ang aking hitsura
    Kastila’t hindi na Ita”
