The Foster parents, Friends and Religious of Casa Miani Singing Sarung Banggi -A traditional bikol song

Sarung banggi sa higdaan

Nakadangog ako nin huni nin sarung gamgam
Sa luba ko katorogan
Bako kundi simong boses iyo palan

Dagos ako bangon si sakuyang mata iminuklat,
sa tahao nin  kadikloman ako nangalagkalag
Si sakong pagheling pasiring sa itaas
simong lawog nahiling kong maliwanag

English Translation

One Evening
One evening as in bed I lay
I heard a plaintive song of bird that spurns the light of day,
At first I thought it was a dream,
But soon I knew it was no dream for it was you.

And then still half asleep from my warm cozy bed I did rise,
And tried the darkness deep to pierce with my straining eyes,
Then I looked around I chanced my eyes to raise,
And saw in glorious radiance your lovely face.
