My Translation and Modification of KIAMKO’S Pasayloa ug Hikalimti (Forgive and Forget): A Manner of Lamentation


Illusions only are all things,
Passing like smoke, that
No feelings will be entrenched.
Today is laughter, then
Tomorrow will be tears and sorrows.

Rusts only are all things,
In front of the Supreme,
On a fate which is ferocious,
Rusts only are all dreams…
Rusts only are all things…

Drown all things to forgetfulness of our golden chronicle.
Forgive and forget…
No matter how bitter if we carry out,
Because it was imposed to be written on our palms…
That predetermined both of us not to go on with our love.
