    1) The poem describes the speaker's unrequited love and suffering. He loved a woman but was never able to realize that she would value him in return. 2) Overcome with despair, the speaker questions whether he should curse the hour of his birth, thinking it would have been better to have died as an infant rather than experience this pain. 3) However, the only joy he can imagine is knowing that the woman returns his love. He vows and promises that it is for her alone that he would lay down his life.

    Nalpay a Namnama

    ni Leona Florentino

    Amangan a ragsac ken talecda


    Dagiti adda caayan ayatda
    Adda piman mangricna
    Kadagiti isuamin a asugda

    Ni gasatco a nababa
    Awanen ngatat capadana,
    Ta cunac diac agduadua
    Ta agdama ngarud nga innac agsagaba.

    Ta nupay no agayatac
    Iti maysa a imnas
    Awan lat pangripripripac
    Nga adda pacaibatugac.

    Ilunodconto ti horas
    Nga innac pannacayanac
    Ta mamenribo coma naseseya-at
    No natayac idin ta nayanacac.

    Gayagayec coma a ipalawag


    Ngem bumdeng met toy dilac,
    A ta makitac met a sibabatad
    Nga ni paay ti calac-amac.

    Ngem umanayento a liwliwac


    Ti pannacaamon itoy a panagayat,
    Ta icaric kenca ket isapatac
    Nga sica awan sabali ti pacatayac.

    BIGONG PAGASA
    Salin ni Isagani R. Cruz

    Anong saya at ginhawa


    Kung may nagmamahal
    Dahil may nakikiugnay
    Sa lahat ng pagdurusa.

    Ang masama kung kapalaran


    Walang kapantay
    Wala akong alinlangan
    Sa dinaranas sa kasalukuyan

    Kahit na ako ay nagmahal


    Sa isang musa
    Wala namang hinuha
    Na ako’y pahahalagahan

    Isumpa ko kaya ang panahon


    Na ako’y ipinanganak
    Higit na mas masarap
    Na mamatay bilang sanggol.

    Nais ko mang magpaliwanag


    Dila ko’y ayaw gumalaw
    Nakikita kong malinaw
    Pagtanggi lamang ang matatanggap.

    Ligaya ko sana’y walang kapantay


    Sa kaalamang ikaw ay minamahal
    Isumpa ko at patunayan
    Para sa iyo lamang ako mamamatay.

    Blasted Hopes
    By M.Foronda Jr.

    What gladness and what joy


    are endowed to one who is loved
    for truly there is one to share
    all his sufferings and his pain.

    My fate is dim, my stars so low


    perhaps nothing to it can compare,
    for truly I do not doubt
    for presently I suffer so.

    For even I did love,


    the beauty whom I desired
    never do I fully realize
    that I am worthy of her.

    Lit 1: Asian Literature


    Shall I curse the hour
    when first I saw the light of day
    would it not have been better a thousand times
    I had died when I was born.

    Would I want to explain


    but my tongue remains powerless
    for now do I clearly see
    to be spurned is my lot.

    But would it be my greatest joy


    to know that it is you I love,
    for to you do I vow and a promise I make
    it’s you alone for whom I would lay my life
