It's more fun in the philippines

(An Ilonggo poem by Steelbutterfly)

Nonoy,
Ako nagbusong sa imo pasalig
Nga imo higugmaon nga wala bulubalikid,
Apang ang tanan halos mga binutig.

Wala mo pa ako mahulid,
Bisan ang katam-is sang akon halok
Wala pa ikaw makatam-id
Apang ako na ang nagbusong
Sa imo pasalig.

Diin ka agud imo sabton?
Nakita mo na bala ang akon yuhum?
Nabatian mo na bala ang ang tingog ko nga magayon
Nga bisan akon ikaw patyon, malulo gihapon?

Nagbusong lamang ako sa imo pasalig,
Nga ikaw magakari agud imo maambit,
Kon ano ang kalipay ang wala mo ginbalikid
Kay ikaw nawili lamang sa sugid sugid!
