Kinabuhi/ Life
Posted on Saturday 22 November 2014
Inspired by Bogz Jamorabon…
with his comment “KINABUHI” to an earlier
blog about NDTC.
Kinabuhi/ Life
(Hiligaynon and English and versions)
Ni Apolinario Villalobos
Ang kinabuhi, daw sapa, nagailig
Kon padulhog gani, ini madasig
Ang katinong, ginabuka sang bato
Kag labusaw sang mga isda kag tawo.
Amo man ina ang tawo sa kalibutan
Nagalakat sa dalan nga indi matapan
Damo matapakan, mga buho kag tunok
May mga hilit-hilit pa nga makahaladlok!
Life is like a stream that flows –
Fast, if the terrain tilts or slopes
Boulders break its tranquil course
But not easing a bit its resolute force.
Man, a mere dot in the universe
Treads potholed paths – all diverse
Some are thorny, some yet, are stony
With dark corners, foreboding and dreary!
