“KALIBUTAN AMPINGAN TA”
Words and Music: Dodong Arambala (inspired by the Pastoral Letter of Bishop Abet Uy "Renewing the Oikos of God", Sep. 5, 2021)
Gasa sa Diyos ang kalibutan
Tana’ng ania niini gikan sa kahitas-an
Panalipdan ta ug atong ampingan
Kabukiran, kadagatan, kalasangan, kasapa-an
Tungod sa pag abuso sa mga tawo
Makabalisang kamatuoran nasinati na karon
Mainit nga panahon, nihit na ang tubig ug pagkaon
Mga bahá, kalit nga sunog, ug bagyo’ng makusog
Pagka anindot gayud sa kinaiyahan
Lunhaw nga mga tanom maka lipay sa dughan
Kalanggaman nanag awit makahupay sa kasakit
Lab-as nga hangin sa kaliwatan ibilin
Busa angay gayud tanan maghiusa
Mananom og kahoy manghipos sa basura
Wa nay plastic nga gamiton
Wa nay basura’ng sunogon
Mga kahoy dili gyud nato putlon
Tarpaulin atong ihiklin
Undangon ta ang illegal logging
Apil illegal quarry ug illegal fishing
Pagka anindot gayud sa kinaiyahan
Lunhaw nga mga tanom maka lipay sa dughan
Kalanggaman nanag awit makahupay sa kasakit
Lab-as nga hangin sa kaliwatan ibilin
Kalibutan atimanon
Mao ray bugtong puloy-anan
Kon Di ta mulihok mas mu grabe ang katalagman
Kon wa tay buhaton basin uwahi na ang tanan
Kalibutan ampingan ta!
TAKE CARE OF THE EARTH
Words and Music: Dodong Arambala (inspired by the Pastoral Letter of Bishop Abet Uy "Renewing the Oikos of God", Sep. 5, 2021)
God’s gift is the earth
All in it are from on high
Let us protect and take care of
The mountains, seas, forests and streams.
Due to the abuses of men
We now experience a distressing truth
Days are hot, scarce are the water and food
Floods, wildfires and strong storms.
Oh How beautiful is nature!
Green plants that bring joy to the heart
Chirping birds that soothe the pain
Fresh air we shall leave to the generations after us.
Hence let us all unite
Plant trees and properly dispose of our waste
Stop the use of plastic
Stop the burning of trash
Stop the cutting of trees
Stop the use of tarpaulins
Stop illegal logging
Stop illegal quarrying and illegal fishing
Oh How beautiful is nature!
Green plants that bring joy to the heart
Chirping birds that soothe the pain
Fresh air we shall leave to the generations after us
Take care of the earth
This is our only home
If we do not act calamities shall worsen
If we do nothing, it may be too late
Take care of the earth!
