Old Age

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5

Among themselves, the older generation talk about the time when they will no longer be together. Will there still come another day after this night?

1. Katpungan pagsudungan

2. Kita una magkaban

3. Babaw apnig bariwan

4. Saruray no humagan

5. Kiblagan yi kuramwan

6. Sulbadan yi suudan

7. Magkabta araw uman

8. Pamidkan dimlisig wan

9. Patlay saghaya yi man

At this hour of the dark night

we are still together now

on the woven sleeping-mat.

But when the sun will get up

and the stars will be detached,

our bond might break up too.

When we'll ever meet again,

it is not with mortal eyes,

but the eye-sight of the soul.
