No kapigan ka manpasalamat ed atsim

Erwin S. Fernandez

Ag labat no inter toy labay mo,
Ag labat no initdan to kay palabo.

No nankolkol kayo manpasalamat ka.
No walay barongan yo manpasalamat ka.

Ta say mansanagi singa agew tan labi,
onuran onagew panangaro ag naandi.

[When to thank your sister

Not only when she acceded to what you want,
Nor when she had given you a gift.

When you had a quarrel, give thanks.
When you incurred her wrath, give thanks.

Because siblings are like night and day,
Rain or shine love never goes away.
