ING BALEN BAMBAN
by Luz D. Navarro
Siglong labing lima, lugal meguing Bamban,
Ding bunduc Caraballo, banda lang albugan
Ding tau canita, Baluga la't Zambal
Mabibie caring bunduc at pulung macapal,
Siglong labing-anam, ibat Capampangan,
Taung mangatapang manintun pitamnanan,
Quinurus lang ilug a ausan dang Parua,
Capatagan iquit da, bistaman gubat pa.
Miglinis la qng gubat, carelang pitucnangan,
Dacal lang tanaman a ausan dang "bamban";
Inia Bamban na rin ing pepalagyu ra
Bareng atandanan itang lugal a ita.
E binang melambat, meracal la ring tao,
Pati na magtindang Intsic a viajero
Siglong labing-walo, dacal nong Cristiano,
Meminyag Castila, frayleng Agustiano.

Dacal pupul atbu, pale, mialiwa pa,
