Balak daw

My sister asked me to write a one-stanza Balak (in English, Tagalog and Cebuano) which uses mathematical terms as their assignment. I made this in 45 minutes, and it’s up to her if she’ll submit this piece.

Oh woman of my thoughts and dreams
You add life and took me out of these pains
You paralleled my broken scene
And multiplied the happiness in me.


Oh babae sa aking panaginip
Dinagdagan mo ng kulay ang puso’ng nawadlit
Pinaresan ang nasaktang damdamin
At pinarami ang kasiyahan sa ‘king daigdig.


Oh babaye sa akong panumduman
Nga midunga’g pagmaya sa mapit-os nga dughan
Imu’ng gi paresan ang gugma’ng nasakitan
Ug gipilo-pilo ang kalipay nga nahiaguman.
