One fine day in the middle of the night

[hubag bohol]

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

A blind man came to watch fair play,
A mute man came to shout "Horray!"
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to stop those two dead boys.

He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,
In a two-story house on a vacant lot;
A man with no legs came walking by,
And kicked the lawman in his thigh.

He crashed through a wall without making a sound,
Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned;
The long black hearse came to cart him away,
But he ran for his life and is still gone today.

I watched from the corner of the big round table,
The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;
But if you doubt my lies are true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.


(a folk poem)

[Kerstin]

dia ra ang mi appear in the middle of the night 
                 
                     

[hubag bohol]

dia ra ang mi appear in the middle of the night 

Nagbitbit sa akong dead tool I'll be ready to fight...

[Lorenzo]

dia ra ang mi appear in the middle of the night 
                 
                     

'day, wa man na sija'y tutoy da. flat ka sa flat man ning bajih'a.

lami ang legs pero wa jamo'y tutoy.

kani lang...ha?



wa jamo'y maka lupig sa pinay beauty.
