Tulu an Haikun di Lowang hi Numboblayan (Three Haikus for the Cold Season in our Hometown)



Tulu an Haikun di Lowang hi Numboblayan

Wiit di lowang -
Hinaung di duduntug,
baybay di angop

Algo’n pinninghan
Humulit man di kotol,
malanlanuya  

Ballu an potang
Nidiplat hi mumuyung,
hiwat di mata

Three Haikus for the Cold Season in our Hometown

Morning of cold season-
Engulfment of the mountains
is a sea of fog

Once-in-sometime sun
Even if the chill pierces
gives a good feeling

The young sunshine
Touching the many forests,
gratifies the eyes
