Kalangoy ya.wmv




Probinsiya tayon Vizcaya (Vizcaya, our province)
Kadakkelen ni Kalanguya (Where Kalanguyas are many)
Nakalkalahi hapit da (They have different dialects)
Way aatang, eeteng tan aateng (There is 'aatang eeteng tan aateng' [big]'
No piyan tayon amtaan (If you want to know)
Logad ni da naikad-anan (the places where they are)
Di bandan Haggud, kamangkal-ing (In the Haggud side, they use the "e" sound)
Di ka-Benguet-an, kamankib-al. (In the Benguet area, they use the 'a' sound)

No ibag-an iday nangkaama (If you ask the elders)
Toy nalapwan ni Kalanguya (Where Kalanguyas were from)
Andi kusto ni makaamta (Nobody knows where exactly)
Basta kan da ay Tinoc kono li pa (From Tinoc, they usually say)
Nem uray, takon, di anggan (But even then, as such)
Anggan ketteg ag pakatontonan (We don't have to trace really carefully)
Basta hay importanted tan (The important thing here is that)
Kalanguya at man-iinawatan. (The Kalanguyas live in peace with each other)

Hipa na-mo kayman atman (But Oh well, what)
Kuston pangihapit tayo dadan (is the right way to say it)
Hapa tangab, tengeb, ono tangeb (Is it tangab, tengeb, ono tangeb [lid)
Hipay kuston pronounciation nitan (what is the right pronunciation of that)
No hi-gak i yo ibag-an (If you ask me)
No hipad tan i nak pilian (what I would choose among these)
Hakey aboh i hongbat kod tan (I only have one answer)
Tengeb ni to an nangginawaan. (Tengeb which is the middle of the three)

Ay inoy-inoy, iney-iney (oh why, why, why)
Way aatang, eeteng, aateng (There is aatang, eeteng, aateng)
Ay inoy-inoy, iney-iney
Kusto od ni amin idatan (Well, all of those are correct)
Ay inoy-inoy, iney-iney
Kala kayman ngo, kala ngo tan
Nem anggan inoy-iney (But it doesn't matter)
No kiho et man-iinawatan (as long as we understand one another).
