16. Sarung Banggi
Bicol standard
One Evening
English Translation
 Sarung banggi sa higdaan
Nakadangog ako hinuni nin
sarung gamgam
Sa luba ko katorogan
Bako kundi simong boses iyo
palan
 Dagos ako bangon si sakuyang
mata binuklat,
Kadtong kadikloman ako
nangalagkalag
Si sakong pagheling pasiring sa
itaas
Naheling ko simong lawog
maliwanag
 One evening as I lay in bed
I heard the sad song of a
bird
At first I thought it was a
dream
But soon I recognized your
voice
 I opened my eyes and arose
And strained in the darkness
to see
I looked about and up
Then saw your radiant face.
