natug ko sa Los Angeles

naghunahuna bahin nimo,

sa akong pagpangihi ganina,

akong giayog lantaw

ang akong oten.

Nindot akong gibati,

kaduha kining misud nimo.

I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking
about you.

Pissing a few moments ago
I looked down at my penis
affectionately.

Knowing it has been inside
you twice today makes me
feel beautiful.
