Atin cu pung singsing
Metung yang timpucan
mana que iti
Quing indung ibatan
Sangcan queng sininup
Quing metung a caban
Me wala ya iti
Eco camalayan
Ing sucal ning lub cu
Susucdul quing banua
Mi curus cung gamat
Babo ning lamesa
Nino mang manaquit
Quing singsing cung mana
Calulung puso cu
Manginu ya kaya.

Doon po sa amin,
Bayan ng San Roque
May nagkatuwaang
Apat na pulubi –

Nagsayaw ang pilay,
Nanood ang bulag,
Kumanta ang pipi,
Nakinig ang bingi.

Doon po sa amin,
Bayang ng Malabon,
May isang matandang,
Nagsaing ng apoy.
Papel ang palayok,
papel pati tuntong,
Tubig na malamig,
Ang iginatong.

Matud nila ako dili angay
Na mag mangad sa imong gugma
Matud nila ako dili malipay
Kay wa ako’y bahandi na kanimo igasa.

Gugmang putli mauday pasalig
Mao’y bahandi labaw sa bulawan
Matud nila kaanogon lamang sa imong gugma ug parayig.

Dili malubad kining pagbati
Bisan sa onsa nga katarungan
Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi
Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan
Ingna ko nga dili ka matoo
Sa mga pagtamay nga naangkon
Ingna ko nga dili mo kawangon
Damgoog pasalig sa gugma mo.

The book deals with questions of morality and cultural aspects of Philippine society, pictured from a western point of view, intertwined with the pitfalls of an affair between a young woman longing for a family, and a much older man looking for a companion.

Torn Between Two Lovers is available as an e-book from Amazon, Apple iBookstore, Barnes & Noble, and Lulu. A paperback edition will be available in January 2013.

O, naraniag a bulan un-unnoy co indengam
Dayta naslag a silaw mo dica cad ipaidam

O, naraniag a bulan sangsangitco indengam
Toy nasipnget a lubong co inca cad silawan
Tapno diac mai-yawawan.

No inca nanglipaten carim caniac a umagen
Samsamitec ni patay O, bulan ken aclunem
Nanglaylay toy ayat ko, inka kadi palasbangen
Un-unoyco darasem nga ikeddeng.
