I am here waiting for you
on the soft white sand of father's beach
and in open water, you float
thrashed by the waves
Do you remember your promise
on that fated early morning?
Whipped and judge by the Manta ray
to remember this in the light of day.
I've translated this from a short verse I wrote for a song in a film my wife and I made.
Original text:
Ania ko ga huwat ka nimo
Sa timdas nga baybay ni tatay
Hintunga sa dagat siya maglutaw
sa bawud nakutaw-kutaw
Nanumduman ba nimo imong saad?
Tong higayon sa kaadlawon?
Gilatigo ta sa pagi nga maong gahukom
Nga kita mahinumdom
