Bulan, bulan kampilan

Niyay kanen mon lukban

Sinakuban kod banggeraan

Kinay pusan masinan

Uran uran, bantay kawayan

Bagyo bagyo, bantay kabayo

Rosas na bougainvilla amungku-mungkog ira. 

Rosas day nanduruma, mabinbinta ira'd karsada

Pantranco masaksakbay, 

luganan ko manistambay. 

Matmatlek, telek-telek, 

inlubin makulkulnet

Curok, Curok Manok

Curok, curok manok
Masacbay ki pan ompococ
Ta talaranan yoy libot
Libot ya sipoc-sipoc
Nancandilay tanos
Na tacocoy galor

Miming ca la ining
Ining, ining ya masansanting
Ta nitan la may coting
Coting ya melmelanting
Ngiaw! Ngiaw! Ngiaw!
Miming cala ta pian
Agto ca alaen.

(English translation)

"Curok, Curok" chickens
Please go to roost early
And watch for the procession
That seems without end
With candles of unfurled banana leaves
And a cap of rice crust.

Go to sleep now, baby
A very cute baby
For here comes the kitten
A very tiny kitten
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Go to sleep now so that
It [the kitten] will not get you.

Suan, Suan batugan

Naplag ed caniogan

Sinampat na patang

 

Castilan pinggo pinggo

Manai ag manilo

Ingarigar tod alo

Asalucsocay obet to

 

(English translation)

 

Juan, Juan, lazy Juan

Fell on the coconut trees

Was caught by a frog

 

Spaniard who is very white

Removes his bowel without wiping off his rectum

He rubbed it against a pestle

And a splinter stuck in it.
