Balak Ni Manuel Lino G. Faelnar

(1) Rosas sa Gugma

Ni Manuel Lino G. Faelnar

Rosas sa gugma bulahan ka.
Bisan og kinsa walay sama
Sa imong forma.

Katahum nimo tan-awon,
Kahumot nimo simhuton.
Himaya ug kalipay,
Sa atong paghigugma-ay,
Walay kulang bisan og dyutay.

Labihan kabaskog sa kalipay
Ikaw ug ako tagsa-tagsa,
Sa kaugalingon tang duha,
Kita naghinatagay.


Trans. By Manuel Lino G. Faelnar
Rosas sa Gugma - Rose of Love

Rose of love, you are blest
Your lovely form no-one can best.

How beautiful you to behold,
How sweet to feel your scent unfold.
Ecstacy, happiness,
In our loving
We lack for nothing.

So strong is the joy that we together,
You and I from our very selves,
give to each other.

(2) Sinugo Nga Mamunga

Ni Manuel Lino G. Faelnar

Sinugo nga mamunga,
Bulahan tang gugma.
Tungason ang kabunturan,
Baktason and kapatagan,
Suhidon ang kalasangan,
Ubogon ang kapitaan,
Hiyas sa kalipayan,
Angkunon sa kalagman,
Didto sa kalanguban,
Sinugo ang atong kapalaran.

Sinugo nga Mamunga - Ordained to be Fruitful
Trans.by Manuel lino G. Faelnar

That our love be fruitful it was ordained.
Mountains would be climbed,
Plains would be trekked,
Forests would be explored,
Wetlands would be waded,
In the deep caverns would be claimed
Love's jewel untamed.
Our fate was fore-ordained.



(3) Imoha ako, akoa ikaw,

Atong gugma dili mulangyaw.
Kalami sa paghinumdum,
Gugma nga inugum,
Gugma nga tinigum,
Atong ampingan,
Kalipay walay katapusan

Gugma -Love

Trans, by Manuel Lino G. Faelnar

I am yours, you are mine,
Our love will have no passing.
How ecstatic the remembering.
Love devoured,
Love consumed,
Let it by us be cherished,
Joy without an ending.
