3. KAPAMPANGAN LYRICS
Atin cu pung singsing
Metung yang timpucan
Amana que iti
Quing indung ibatan
Sancan queng sininup
Queng metung a caban
Mewala ya iti
E cu camalayan.
Ing sucal ning lub cu
Susucdul king banua
Picurus cung gamat
Babo ning lamesa
Ninu mang manaquit
Quing singsing cung mana
Calulung pusu cu
Manginu ya caya.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I had a ring
With a beautiful gem
I inherited it
From my mother
I kept in very well
In a chest
But it just disappeared
Without my noticing.
The heartache within me
Is as high as the sky
My crossed hands
Are upon the table
Whoever can find
That ring I inherited
My poor heart
Shall forever worship.
Atin Cu Pung Singsing
