Character
Even if you've reached, the summit of jewels,
Drowned in treasure, showered by light;
If haughtiness and conceit, is what you know to do,
Distant you are always, from the country's love.
For a person born, in good rearing,
Even amongst the poor, they are prudent;
They will not do, deeds that dislodge,
From propriety and modesty, shamed forever.
Translated from:
SAY INKATOO
Anggano arapat mo, so pantok na penel, Alipos kay yaman, alimbos kay silew;
Et no pasang tan kinon, so amtam ya agamilen, Arawrawi ed sika lawas, so panangaro'y baley.
Ta say toon niyanak, ed maong ya inkabangat, Duka may pitoyawan, mabinbintan miyarap;
Et aleg ton gawaen, so gawan unkaniwas, Diad asta tan simpit, pian pambaingan lawas.
