Valley and Hill
Sama tara rupa
Sama kona rupa
Do mya ra ngina
Do sona ra baya
Cloud in valley
Cloud in the hill
Standing alone
Much thinking

Tagumpay Nating Lahat
(gary granada)
Akoy anak ng lupang hinirang
Kung saan matatagpuan
Ang timyas ng perlas ng silangan
Nagniningning sa buong kapuluan
Taglay ko ang hiwaga ng silangan
At saan mang bayan o lungsod
Maging timog, hilaga at kanluran
Ang pilipino ay namumukod
Refrain:
Sama-sama nating abutin
Pinakamatayog na bituin
At ang aking tagumpay
Tagumpay ng aking lahi
Tagumpay ng aking lipi
Ang tanging minimithi at hinahangad
Hangad koy tagumpay nating lahat
Ako ay may isang munting pangarap
Sa aking dakilang lupain
At sa sama-sama nating pagsisikap
Sama-sama ring mararating
Ang ibat ibang galaw, iisang patutunguhan
Dito isang araw, isang kapuluan
Sama-sama nating abutin
Pinakamatayog na bituin
At ang aking tagumpay
Tagumpay ng aking lahi
Tagumpay ng aking lipi
Ang tanging minimithi at hinahangad
Hangad koy tagumpay nating lahat
Hangad koy tagumpay nating lahat

The Doors And Windows
the windows would have been more beautiful
wider than the sea
and the doors
are as tight as the cracks
of the cliff so that
the thoughts may fly
and the secrets may find it
hard to escape
from themselves
mas nindot unta kon ang mga bintana
sama kalapad sa dagat
ug ang mga pultahan
sama kakipot sa mga liki
sa pangpang aron dali
ang paglupad sa hunahuna
ug lisod ang tinagoan sa pagpahawa

Life of a Cloud
Warming thermals whisper as they rise,
To tell us they are soon to bring to view
In cooler air aloft before your eyes:
A gentle wisp to counterpoint the blue.
Powder puffs emerge to grant her grace
That further bloom as would for stately tree, and
Yield a sight that calls for our embrace:
Another cloud anew above the lea.
Cruising forth, she yearns for ageless life.
O how her hopes will soon be dashed in vain,
For up there in the cold she courts her strife,
To fade away as drops of closing rain.
Scant and lacy speak her living span,
And fair among us could be brought to mourn,
But she was there to populate her clan:
From fallen tears, new daughters will be born.

Niining akong sulat
Gipatik ko ang akong
Mga damgo
Tutuki ang akong
Mga pulong
Dili labyog sa dahon
Ang ilang mga lihok
Dili na nila kaila ang hangin
Gituok kini
Sa mga pangandoy nga
Wala matuman
Uga ang akong mga ngabil
Naligti ang akong mga ngipon
Mitikig ang akong apapangig
Pil-on ko kining
Akong mga pulong
Katulo kaupat
Kapulo sama sa
Pagpilo-pilo niining
Akong puti nga papel
Isulod ko kini sa sobre
Sirad-an sa akong
Laway ug dili na ako
Mamulong pa
Pil-on ko kini
Sama sa usa ka
Eroplanong papel
Ipalupad ko kini
Sama sa usa ka tabanog
Mawagtang kini ug ang
Tanan maanod sa halapad ug kusog
nga bug-os sa hangin
Ako na lamang ang magpabilin
Kay ikaw wala na sa akong kiliran
Alimahan ko ang mga tanom
Sa akong kasakit ug kamingaw

Clouds By Number
Cloud Nine lived a life of fantasy,
Barely conceding the existence of Cloud Eight,
Who felt jealousy for Cloud Seven's
Silver lining,
Although it was saturnine.
Cloud Six lived a life in a daze,
Dozing in the sun's rays;
While Cloud Five held a bellyful of rain
That it wept onto
The arid plain.
Cloud Four came out of nowhere,
Hugging Cloud Three,
Making way, hurriedly, for Cloud Two,
Who shot lightning and thunder,
And like a magic trick
Became Cloud One.
The Great Funnel Cloud,
Who left nothing after its short reign
But a painful memory and a swollen path to be filled with regrets.

Cloud 8
(tony martin/byron hill)
I hear em laughing on cloud 9
In a world so happy just above mine
No ones leaving like you left me
They got each other got all they need, but
Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothings going on
Im just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear em party all the time
They dont hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
We almost made it up where they are
But losing your love
Brought me down hard
Now Im just hanging, just getting by
Where expectations arent that high, but
Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothings going on
Im just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear em party all the time
They dont hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
While up on cloud 9
I hear em party all the time
They dont hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
They dont hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

Ang akong kagahapon ug karon
Kawras sa iring ang
Kaniadto
Buot hilison ang bukog
Sa isda
Sa akong tutunlan
Sa usa lamang ka mahiko
Dili ako motoo
Ang akong karon
Sama sa dagan sa sakayan
Sa suba sa loboc
Adto ako sa iyang
Kinatumyan
Ang awit sa mga tubig
Daw sama sa hagikhik
Sa mga bata
Midayan dayan sa
Himsog nga mga aping
(English)
my past and present
the cat’s scratch
is the past
wanting to melt the
fishbone
in my throat
in one magic
I disagree
My present
Is like the sailing boat
In Loboc river
I am going to its
End
The song of the waters
Like the laughter
Of the children
Flowing through
Healthy cheeks

Cloud King
the hands of fog
hole his head like a hill
the coldness is
felt on the
sides of his ear
you are the cloud king now
feeling so high
you let
the drops of rain fall
and so there
were tears
dropping from his eyes
cloud king, wearing the cloak of
fog,
you leave another
valley of
molested emptiness
barren desert feeling
another wasted moment

The Bird and the Hour
The sun looks over a little hill
And floods the valley with gold-
A torrent of gold;
And the hither field is green and still;
Beyond it a cloud outrolled,
Is glowing molten and bright;
And soon the hill, and the valley and all,
With a quiet fall,
Shall be gathered into the night.
And yet a moment more,
Out of the silent wood,
As if from the closing door
Of another world and another lovelier mood,
Hear'st thou the hermit pour-
So sweet! so magical!-
His golden music, ghostly beautiful.

Glossary
[1] Anchala ~ An expanse of a part of or an end of a loin cloth [Sharee] worn by Indian women
[2] Sama Veda ~ [Sans] Sama = Melody. Veda = Knowledge.
Sama-Veda is better known for the precise meter of its poetry…. There are also painstaking instructions in Sama-Veda about how particular hymns must be sung; this is perhaps because great emphasis was put upon sounds of the words of the mantras and the effect they could have on the environment and the person who pronounced them.
[3] Jnana ~ Wisdom

Get Off Of My Cloud
(mick jagger and keith richards)
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy whos all dressed up like a union jack
And says, Ive won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud baby
The telephone is ringing,
I say, hi, its me. who is it there on the line?
A voice says, hi, hello, how are you?
Well, I guess Im doin fine
He says, its three a.m., theres too much noise
Dont you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd

Progeny
From seven-palm-tree depth of ocean
Tsunami of desires blew up.
Pushed the cloud away
But
Since than the ocean wails
With bouncing waives
To get back.
Teen eager and Alexandrian desire
Monsoon cloud eager to pervade
Floats on and on
For gold and glee.
Stag jumped off to a valley of bounty,
Ampule opened to mesmerize.
Instigated to roll on gold to squelch
And amused to squeal.
Wailing ocean embossed on
The amulet hanging on cloud.
Stag saw, recalled and turned squirrel
To climb up the cloud
Drained out to detergent white
And being towed away.
Cloud: with conflicts but consistent
Ocean: wailing but deep and calm
Hugs on bosoms
Cloud melts to drops in ocean.

The Big Sky
They look down
At the ground,
Missing.
But I never go in now.
Im looking at the big sky.
Im looking at the big sky now.
Im looking at the big sky.
You never really understood me.
You never really tried.
That cloud, that cloud--
Looks like ireland.
Cmon and blow it a kiss now,
But quick,
cause its changing in the big sky,
Its changing in the big sky now.
Were looking at the big sky.
You never understood me.
You never really tried.
This cloud, this cloud--
Says noah,
Cmon and build me an ark.
And if youre coming, jump,
cause
Were leaving with the big sky.
Were leaving with the big sky.
And we pause for the jets--
Hup! hup!--in the big sky!
You want my reply?
What was the question?
I was looking at the big sky.
Tell em, sisters!
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Rolling over with the big sky!
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Rolling over with the big sky!

Cumoulous
On the sun-deck I saw two big clouds a man one
and a female, they met kissed and the man cloud
was transformed into a plucked chicken.
Not that the female cloud fared better for behind
her came huge troll cloud that absorbed her up its
nostrils. In the world of clouds you never see
the same formation twice, in this immaterial ever
changing world; it is as the saying goes: You can´t
cross the same river twice. Now a massive dark cloud
erased the picture, and as I didn´t want a drab cloud
hanging over me, I got up walked into the galley and
had a mug of coffee, while the cook fried pork chops.

Cloud Nine
(Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)
[B side of Youngblood YB 1017, 1970]
Settin' at home the nights weren't very pretty
I was born and raised in the slum-filled city
I left home seekin' the job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted I took to cryin'
I'm doin' fine, so very fine, on cloud nine
Listen
Father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected momma and treated me like dirt
I left home seekin' the job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted I took to cryin'
I'm doin' fine, so fine, on cloud nine
Let me tell you about that
Doin' fine, on cloud nine
Fine fine fine
Listen
Folks up there tell me
Said give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by
You know it's a dog-eat-dog world
Woman it ain't no lie
I'm doin' fine, so fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
Doin' fine, on cloud nine
Doin' so fine, on cloud nine
Doin' fine, on cloud nine
Oooh
Doin' fine fine fine

Ang Lumot Nga Sa Bato Mitapot
Ang lumot dako gayod og gugma
Sa bato. Kay bisan pa kini og tig-a,
Bisan pa sa pagkawalay-pagbati
tapot lang gihapon siya
Sa bato. Wala mangambat ang bato
Sa lumot. Apan ang lumot kanunay
Naghandom sa bato. Bisan pa og
Moligid ang bato sa sugo sa baha sa
Suba, sa mando sa tubig ug linog sa
Yuta, ang lumot nagpabilin nga
Nagpauraray sa iyang lawas, sa iyang
Paa, sa iyang bukton. Ang lumot ang
Tinood nga nahigugma. Dili malingla
Sa tambag sa gamut sa kawayan.
Dili kabalo magtoon sa gibuhat
Sa lapok nga mikuyog pagpaanod
Sa mga bali nga sanga ug larag
Nga dahon. Dili mausob sama
Sa dagayday sa sapa. Dili pod
Makiskis sama sa taya sa barko.
Gugma. Gilumotan na sa pagdis-og sa
Panahon: Madakin-as bisan mga umang
Nga nagbalhin-balhin sa ilang balayan.

What is the cloud to the sun?
For what is the cloud to the sun,
It is nothing. The wind has always
Driven it away and the sun does not
Care. For want of love and care, the
Cloud plays with the fields and the
River and the sea. Impregnated it
Has conceived, and gives
Birth to the rain. The fields and the
Sea and the rivers feasted. The fields
Grow the grass and the flowers.
The sea and the rivers have
Seeded its waters with more fish.
The cloud does not like it. It has
Always dreamt of the sun but the
Wind has always blown it away.
At night the cloud talks to the moon.
And seeing the likeness of its light
To the sun that it loves, the cloud
Makes love with the shining moon.
It has given birth to the stars.
The following morning, the cloud
Is exhausted. It floats with the
Chastisements of the wind. There
Is no more direction. It still dreams
Of the sun. It dies and becomes
Taken as part of the wind. The
Cloud has become a white, clear
Sky. It is nothing. It is what you
See, when love is unrequited.
