Villanelle 30

By Santiago B. Villafania

masamiong a rosas na Lebanon
oala ka man ed amagan talba
limgas ka ed no iner nipanon

balani ed banoan ikikinon
dia’d laylay mo’y sindag na lioaoa
masamiong a rosas na Lebanon

dayabdab na oayang so panaon
ya oala’d akualan mo’y inaoa
limgas ka ed no iner nipanon

bangta say dyus na bakal asolon
ilalak mo’y kaoalaa’y sesga
masamiong a rosas na Lebanon

ondabuk may laman mo ed kanyon
oalan oala’y ilesam    tan siansia
limgas ka ed no iner nipanon

alibansa’y ngaran mon magnayon
anlonge’y manangaro ed sika
masamiong a rosas na Lebanon
limgas ka ed no iner nipanon
