Planting Rice

Posted by Ken (Cebu City, Philippines) on 23 March 2008 in People & Portrait.

Magtanim ay di biro, maghapong nakayuko,
di naman makatayo, di naman makaupo.

Kay pagkasawing-palad
Ng inianak sa hirap
Ang bisig kung hindi iunat
Di kumita ng pilak.

-Native Song, Magtanim Ay Di Biro

English Translation:
Planting (rice) is not easy, One is bent all day long
Can't stand straight, Can't sit properly.

Such bad fate
For one born poor
If one does not stretch and bear
One does not earn.
