Anopaman dumating However they come piliin ang magiting choose the valiant tumaya sa tindig gamble on their carriage pagpaboran and consider bawat katunggali. each competitor. Sumiping sa dilim Make love with the dark at sumigaw and cry Kristo! Kristo! Christ! Christ! Panoorin ang laban Watch closely the battle sarsuelang mapanganib this dangerous sarsuela kawatang sumasanib a thief takes over sa aking piling inside. Sa bawat kong hiyaw, Every shriek ang kada tuka, laslas each peck, a slash nagmula sa dahas of ruthlessness and lumilipana ang daing cries all around dumadaginding ang bagsik echo ferociousness bawat laban pilit. of this stilted struggle Kristo! Kristo! Christ! Christ! sigaw ng sabungero screamed the sabungero at ako'y tumigil. I stop. Sa pagpanaw When all is gone manalo win matalo lose walang pareho tumingin no one sees evenly sa aking balahibong my feathers pula at puti of red and white sa alabok on the surface dust kumalat they lay lumipad they fly lumahong taimtim. and vanish without a thought.
