Original lyrics
Manang Biday
Manang Biday, ilukatmo man
‘Ta bintana ikalumbabam
Ta kitaem ‘toy kinayawan
Ay, matayakon no dinak kaasian
Siasinnoka nga aglabaslabas
Ditoy hardinko pagay-ayamak
Ammom ngarud a balasangak
Sabong ni lirio, di pay nagukrad
Denggem, ading, ta bilinenka
Ta inkanto ‘diay sadi daya
Agalakanto’t bunga’t mangga
Ken lansones pay, adu a kita
No nababa, dimo gaw-aten
No nangato, dika sukdalen
No naregreg, dika piduten
Ngem labaslabasamto met laeng
Daytoy paniok no maregregko
Ti makapidut isublinanto
Ta nagmarka iti naganko
Nabordaan pay ti sinanpuso
Alaem dayta kutsilio
Ta abriem ‘toy barukongko
Tapno maipapasmo ti guram
Kaniak ken sentimiento

My Dear Biday
my dear biday, open, if you will
and talk to me from your window sill
i am so lost and i am so sad
for without your love, i'm as good as dead
why do you pass through my garden grove
are you in search of someone to love?
i'm just a lass in my playtime hour
i am still a bud and not yet a flower
listen, young man, i bid you go east
to get some fruit for a little feast
get mango fruit if you do not mind
get lansones, too - there are many kinds.
if fruit is low do not pluck or pick
if fruit is high do not use a stick
if fruit has fallen , then skip it too
you may walk around, only to and fro
if i should drop my li'l hanky dear
the man who finds it will bring it here
my name is there as embroidered mark
with a nice design in shape of a heart
i sense your grudge and your anger, too
i feel so sad that you hate me so
you might as well stab me with a knife,
end my breaking heart and my lonely life
