Iti Yoyeng Ni Lagip (In The Waves Of My Memories Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

ITI YOYENG NI LAGIP (IN THE WAVES OF MY MEMORIES)
Melvin Banggollay



Iti tunggal yoyeng ni lagip (In every wave of memories)
Daydi kalman ket makitak (The past I always behold)
Ta inda kaniak ipalpalagip (As they kept on reminding me)
Napalabas a nakaragragsak. (Yesterdays that was full of joy)

Kinarag-o a simmagipsip (Happiness truly sipped me)
Iti kaungan toy riknak (in the deepness of my feelings)
Sipud ta sika’t baton lagip (For you are indeed the memory)
Ti ayat a napnuwan ragsak. (Of a love so full of hapiness)

Tunggal innak mairidip (Everytime I felt aslept)
Kinadayag mo’t makitak (Your beauty I always behold)
Ta sika’t sabong ni lagip, (For your're the flower of my memories)
Ken anges toy sirmatak. (and breath of my every visions)

Biag ko, araraw toy lagip, (My life, thoughts of my memories,)
Toy puso ken kararuak, (of my dear heart and soul)
A kanayon a mangipalagip (that always beckons me)
Ayat nga nangpalwa kaniak. (of a love that gave me tears)

Di kan to maiwaksi toy lagip (I can't vanish you in my memories)
Ta naitukit kan ditoy riknak; (For you had lived in my feelings)
Agnanayon nak man a mairidep (Even if I may forever sleep)
Tagtagaenep ka toy kararuak. (You will be the dream of my soul)
