Disiembre manen ti panawen, lubong

Disiembre manen ti panawen, lubong

Daniw ni Amado I. Yoro

Ket di maliklikan ti panawen a maluom

Madlaw ti naglaok a salemsem ken dagaang

Ti tapok ken bagiing lansangan ken kapanagan;

Dagiti pumusay-rumusing a bulong iti talon –

Wen, Disiembre manen ti panawen, Lubong

Ti pulso ken giteb agbukar a parbangon:

Paskua ! Ungto, iliw ken segga: sam-it ti tarimbangon.

Katibok manen ti ragragsak, nasaranta a pasala

Inaugorasion, ngayed ken anag ti koronasion: mutia

A pusaksak ken bang-ar; kayaw ken natarnaw a parupa

Ti tarigagay a tinubay ti nabiag a sirmata

Dagiti malem ta inawendati ulimek ti sardam

Kasingin ti talukatik kampanario a mangyeg ti inanam

Nataltalged ti orasion, tukayenna dayta kaunggam

Sanktuario dagiti malem – talinaay ‘ta kararuam.

Maysa a lagip ken kinapudno iti tengnga ti sibilisasion

Nupay ammok a diakto latta maawatan ti pagteng: ti daton

Iti saklot iti ginaramian iti ruar iti sililibay a siudad

Ken bang-i ti pinagayan iti sakaanan ti natalna a kannag

Di matiliw ti raniag ngem marikna ti salibukag

Kappia! Talingngenngen ti pakinakem a dinto maumag.

Madlaw latta dagitoy, Lubong, ket manen

Dagiti isusuknal iti altar a daga; iti sinan-Belen

Maysamaysa mangsegged ti kandela; awitda ti palma

Wenno rosas: Bethlehem ! Bethlehem ! Bethlehem

Biagen ti misterio ti Pannakaipasngay, O, Bethlehem:

Bara ti ayat; Silaw a silulukat a barukong.

Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
