KATSAPA and INGGIDS: Two Waray Songs

KATSAPA 

May katsapa nga dinapa sa bangalog

Nga nagtatabag sin kosta nga hininog.

May man tango pero lunod, di natukob

Dakpa iton kay im' sangod.

TOAD

A frog there was that crawled into a trench

In its mouth a ripe kosta banana.

It had teeth but they're hidden, it won't bite.

Catch it, for that's your amulet.

How Do We Say DON'T WORRY in Waray?

Hello, my dear friends. I made a video tutorial for this topic on my YouTube channel where I explained how we say "Don't worry" in Waray. On the video, you will hear how to pronounce the words correctly. I also gave some sentences in Waray.

PINYA: A Waray Folk Song (With English Translation)

PINEAPPLE*

{Translation lifted from TINALUNAY: Hinugpong nga panurat nga Winaray edited by Merlie M. Alunan (2017)}

I will plant a lemon
In your yard.
Leave your husband
And the two of us will be sweet together.

I will plant a lemon tree
Without leaves.
It sprouts at dawn,
Looking for death.
It will soon take root,
In your belly it will sprout.
You're the only one, Inday,
In my heart.

*
In N. Samar, pinya may also mean lover.
