SI INAY, SI ITAY
(Boie’nen)
Si Inay, si Itay di’ ko pagbayaan
Ta mala’ kadakel a sa’ken nga otang-
Nyo pagdara sa’ken ning siyam nga bolan.
Sinoso kong gatas di’ ko mabayaran.
Ay Inay, ay Itay, kin ako mag-alin
Mai-idaw ninyo sa nga’min nga agin;
Minsan makakokong sa sa’ken isangli’,
Indi’ makaareg sa'ken nga ugali’.
Ay Inay, ay Itay, kin ako maraet,
Pogotan nin payo, ibontog sa lawed.
Kin makita ninyong ipianodanod
Ay Inay, ay Itay, sapeda oaman tolos
Si Inay, si Itay eda’ pagkairak
Ipapasexed sa’ken 'sad a agko koyap;
Piro kin madagos a sakandang gayak,
Ilowen ko iya tanganing matigbak.
MOTHER DEAR, FATHER DEAR (English)
Mother dear, Father dear, ne'er shall I go away,
for I owe you a debt I can never repay -
The nine months I had lived as an unborn baby,
The milk from Mother's milk that for months nourished me.
Mother dear, Father dear, if I should go away,
I'm afraid that you might miss me some fateful day
For even if you find someone to take my place,
He will not care for you as I have all these days.
Mother dear, Father dear, if you think ill of me,
Cut off my head and on the lake cast it away;
But if you should see it as it floats sadly by,
Retrieve it please at once with a forgiving sigh.
Mother dear, Father dear for me have no pity,
For they would have me wed one diseased and ugly;
But if they should persist and the marriage takes place,
I shall poison my spouse and end my miseries.
SI NANAY, SI TATAY
(Standard Bikol)
Si Nanay, si Tatay di ko babayaan,
Balakid na boot an sakuyang utang -
Sipagdara sako nin siyam na bulan,
Gatas na sinoso, di ko mabayadan.
Ay Nanay, ay Tatay, kon ako maghale,
Hihidawon nindo sa gabos na aki;
Maski makakua nin makakasangle,
Dai makaarog kan sakong ugale.
Ay Nanay, ay Tatay, kon ako maraot,
Pugotan nin payo, ibontog sa lawod,
Kon maheling nindo na naganodanod,
Ay Nanay, ay Tatay, sapoda man tolos.
Si Nanay, si Tatay daing pagkaherak,
Gustong agomon ko an sarong may kuyap.
Ay Nanay ay Tatay, kon kami mamogtak
Iloho ko siya tanganing matigbak.
