I.
Wala na ka
(Do you not)
Kahinumdom nako?
(Remember who I am?)

Ako ang balaan nga tinubdan (I am the divine source)
Ang pinaka sugod sa tanan (The beginning of everything)
Dugo ug ugat (Blood and bone)
Espiritu ug kalag (Spirit and soul)
Ako ang ginikanan (I am the origin)
Pero ako ang gibiyaan (But I’ve been left behind)

II.
Gi-atiman tika (I cared for you)
Sa akong kalasangan (In my forests)

Gipainom tika (I let you drink)
Sa akong tubig nga sagrado (From my sacred waters)

Photographed by Camille Robiou Du Pont.

Aron mabuhi ka (To let you live)
Taliwala sa tanan nga buhi (Among all who are alive)

Imong balaan nga katuyoan (Your divine purpose)
Relasyon uban sa kinabuhi (Your relationship with the living)

III.
Abog sa bituon (Dust of stars)
Gininhawa sa kadagatan (Breath of ocean)

Ako ang imong tinubdan (I am where you began)
Ug imong katapusan (And where you end)
