Happy New Year!

217th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan.

sonito 217

kabuntatala ka ed kabuasan
liket tan liglioa tonia'y puson
nilaknaban na ermen tan boblay

bangno na nanengneng ka la pinabli
ya manoaoayoaya ed kugip ko
labay ko la'y ag ombangon agi

et no angablit la'y arin agew
tampol kan tangaye'd durungaoan
ono lasuran ed tanamanan

alamusal ko'y linggis tan imis mo
pangudtua'y samiong na bibil mo
tan pandema'y angob tan aplos mo

dia ed anduyan na panangaro
linak ka ed labi na bilay ko
