akeanon ni JEZEBEL MANGILAYA VILLANUEVA

akeanon

indi kuno maeubtan

among haeambaeon

pero kung imong isipon

madali malang maw eubton.

gin-islan manlang it “e” ro “l”

lisod eon kuno intindihon

gapilipit eon ro dila

owa pa ngani it namitlang.

Tao ta kanda lisod gid kuno

Ro dialect namon

Maeumo manlang ron

Pero dapat gid eubton.

Maeumo manlang man

Dahil gintun-an man namon

Maghambae it makaron

Tan-awa kaantigo kami karon.

Mali eon mga kasimanwa

Tur-an naton sanda

Maghambae paris katon

Agud mag-abu ro kaantigo dayon.

Sa mga indi kaintindi kara

Bahala eon kamo una

Mageubot sa ginsueat nakon

Basta ako, proud akeanon.
