Kakok Kakok (W/English) Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

Isang maharlikang palaka
nagsawa sa pagiging maharlika
dati niyang kokak kokak
ngayo'y naging kakok kakok.

Mga batang palaka
sa kanya'y nakigaya
dating kokak kokak
ngayo'y naging kakok kakok.

Mga matatandang palaka
ngayo'y nalilito
kokak kokak nga ba
o kakok kakok?

Kokak kokak nga ba...
o kakok kakok?


-english- Kakok kakok

The noble frog
got tired of being noble
his old kokak kokak
now became kakok kakok.

The young little frogs
have learned from him
the old kokak kokak
now became kakok kakok.

The elder frogs
are now confused
is it kokak kokak
or is it kakok kakok?

Is it kokak kokak...
or is it kakok kakok?
