Banuar nga Anak

Anian a ragsak ti lubong daydi aldaw pannakaipasngaymo
Nasirib ken nagagetka nga anak bayat panagdakkelmo
Natennebka iti rigat ken problema’t pagiliantayo
Addaanka’t naasi ken nabalitokan panagpuspuso

Nasariritka nga anak, addaan nasariwawek kapanunutan
Inadal ken inamirista puon pagrigrigatan
Napalalo’t ragsakko daydi aldaw panagsapatam
Tapno agkuyogta sumaraget naunday a laban

Sori anak, ammok a kritikal ti agserbft kakailian
Kalabanta’t agar-ari a dasig ken emperialista sangalubongan
No kabaelanmi koman nga leppasen tapno dikay mairamraman
Rinugian dagiti appo naindasigan a laban

Anak! Anian a saem daydi aldaw pannakapasagmo
Ima dagiti nadangkok pasista a gobierno
Nagbassiten a tawen ti panagkuyogta dongngo
Pangnamnamaan dagiti umili,naibuis biag ti anakko

Lapis ken papel laeng dagiti armasmo
Radio announcer, speaker maidadanes a tatao
Naturedka a lider, inlabanmo’t karbengantayo
Brutal a pinataydaka, ta kinadakesda imbutaktakmo

Naibukbuk a daram maysa a lana
Imbatim napapateg nga adal isuda’t mitsa
Mangled tured umili tapno laban pumigpagsa
Kalaban mailunodda, awanan asi ranggasda kenka

Naidatonka nga anak tapno agbiag kapututan
Namnama’t marigrigat nabayag magungundawayan
Dagiti sakripisyom isuda’tpigsami makidangadang
Ibangon baro a gobierno, padapada a karbengan

Iti panagrupsam tumpuar baro nga agsapa
Tedted luami mangsibog tignayan lumawlawa
Agallangogan a dung-awmi mangpatibker panagkaykaysa
Mangsingir adun a biag, aramid estado ken empeialista

Anak, ipagpannakkelka, gapuanam inkam saludoan
Ipupusaymo nangayed pakaistoryaan sangalubongan
Idulinka toy pusok ket dikanto malipatan
Rorneo Sanchez anak, banuarka toy pagilian
