Food and Work

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5

Whether one likes it or not, it is necessary to work hard in order to keep his stomach filled. He has to work hard even if he has the help of the spirits.

1. Ako kaybi magkumon

2. Ti harirong tipunon

3. Sa mangyan sa damuong

4. Sa bukid sa ratagnon

5. Maghugod sa tinanom

6. Hampay unman may gutom

My advice of long ago:

get all lucky charms you know,

from the Mangyan, Damuong,

from the Bukid, Ratagnon.

Then go planting without pause,

so that no one hungry goes!
