My papa used to sing this lullaby to us kids when we were young.
Dungdungwen Kanto I Will Love You
Dungdungwen kanto unay unay I will love you and cherish you always
Indayonen kanto iti sınamay I will cradle you to sleep in a soft-cloth swing
Tultuloden kanto't naalumanay I will swing you ever so gently
Pagammuanen inka mailibay And soon enough you will be asleep
Annay, push, annay annay O, my aching heart, it aches, it aches
Nasaem, naut-ut la unay It hurts so badly, it hurts to the core
Itdem kaniak ta pannaranay So, please, please your nurture give
Ta kaasiak a maidasay For it would be a pity if I should die
Apaman nga Incanto makaturog Ás soon as you have fallen asleep
Iyabbongkonto ta rupam daytoy paniok I will cover your face with my handkerchief
Tapnon dinakanto kagaten ti lamok So no mosquitoes can bite you
Ken maimasmonto't maturog And so you can enjoy a good slumber
Apaman nga inkanto makariing Á soon as you awaken
Dagdagusen kanto a sappuyoten I will immediately hold you
Nga iliilili kas maysa nga ubing And dandle you like an infant
Ta nanamem sam-it ni issem So you can enjoy my sweet smile
