PLONING, NOKARIN NA KA?- Kapampangan Translation

If you look at the bottom of our blog site, you will see a video about an advocacy which our band supports. An advocacy for Genuine OPM...where music from the regions are empowered! You can also click GENUINE OPM, to be redirected to their site. It is therefore a privilege for our songs to be translated into different languages (more so, if they're translated into different Philippine languages). Here is a translation from a Kapampangan poet and fellow advocate of Genuine OPM, Jason Laxamana.

PLONING NOKARIN NA KA

The Kapampangan Translation by Jason Paul Laxamana

dakal na' ring banua ing linabas
kanitang aldong ikit da ka
ali ke pa rin akalinguan
ing kekang matang balamu batuin king banua
ding kekang timan a e magpatudtud
pane kong panintunan ding kekang uma

bengi bengi na mu ing kakung pamaninum
pota sakaling akalinguan da ka
karing aldong dadalan kekata
pane kung isipan ing kekang panyatang
kapilan da ka kaya akit
nung ing bulan limbug ne

ay ploning, nokarin na ka
ay ploning, nokarin na ka
ay ploning, nokarin na ka

aldo aldo na mung pane makanini
aldo aldo na mung pane manintun
aldo aldo na mung pane makanyan
aldo aldo na mung pane manintun

makananu kung makadapat
nung ala ka king kanakung lele
makananu nea mu ing kakung biye
nung ala ka king kanakung lele
makananu kung makadapat
nung ala ka king kanakung lele
makananu nea mu ing kakung biye
nung ala ka king kanakung lele

ay ploning, nokarin na ka
ay ploning, nokarin na ka
ay ploning, nokarin na ka

pabilug ne ing bulan
malulungkut ku kakaisip keka
kasi e ko pa rin akalinguan
ding kekang umang dinampi king kakung labi
ding gamat mung makakaul kanaku
pane kung panintunan ing kekang lugud
kapilan da ka kaya akit
nung ing bulan limbug

Lyrics With Translation

(Maraming taon din ang lumipas)
(Nung araw na ikaw ay makilala ko)
(Hindi ko pa rin makalimutan)
(Iyong mga matang parang bituin sa langit)
(Iyong mga ngiting hindi nagpapatulog)
(Parati kong hinahanap ang iyong mga halik)

(Gabi-gabi na lang ang aking pag-inom)
(baka sakaling makalimutan kita)
(sa mga araw na dumadaan sa atin)
(parati kong iniisip ang iyong pagdating)
(Kailan ba kita makikita muli?)
(kung ang buwan ay lumubog na?)

AY PLONING, NASAAN KA NA?

(araw araw na lang parating ganito)
(araw araw na lang parati kang hinahanap)
(araw araw na lang parating ganyan)
(araw araw na lang parati kang hinahanap)

(paano ako makakakilos, kung wala ka sa aking tabi)
(pano na lang ang aking buhay, kung wala ka sa aking tabi)

AY PLONING, NASAAN KA NA?

(Pabilog na ang buwan)
(Nalulungkot ako kakaisip sa iyo)
(Kasi hindi ko pa din makalimutan)
(iyong mga halik na dumampi sa aking labi)
(mga braso mong nakayakap sa akin)
(palagi kong hinahanap ang ating pagmamahalan
(Kailan ba kita makikita muli?)
(kung ang buwan ay lumubog na?)

OH PLONING, WHERE ART THOU?- ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Matamang Salamat da Mandy Perez of Cuyopress and Joey Fabello of Matinlo Productions for the translation and Jason Laxamana of Kamaru productions for the final editing of the translation!

OH PLONING, WHERE ART THOU?
Bulyaw Mariguen

It’s been many years
Since the day that I first met you
And up to now I still cannot forget
Your eyes that sparkled like the stars in the sky,
Your smile that caused me sleepless nights
I always long for your sweet kisses…

Night after night I keep getting drunk
Hoping I could forget you
But as the days pass us by
I can’t help thinking of your return
Oh, when will I see you again, Ploning?
If the moon has already waned?

Oh Ploning, where art thou?
Oh Ploning, where art thou?
Oh Ploning, where art thou?

I’ve been like this everyday
Always yearning day by day
I’ve been like that everyday
Always searching day by day

How will I carry on, if you are not by my side?
What’s to become of my life, if you are not by my side?
How will I carry on, if you are not by my side?
What’s to become of my life, if you are not by my side?

Oh Ploning, where art thou?
Oh Ploning, where art thou?
Oh Ploning, where art thou?

The full moon is fast approaching
Thinking of you has put me in misery
For I still cannot forget
Your kisses that touched my lips
Your arms that embraced me
I always yearn for the love we had
Oh, when will I see you again, Ploning?
If the moon has already waned?
