Wedding dance amador adaguio

Answer 1

This is a rather sad versem but nonetheless beautiful: WEDDING DANCE

Melvin Banggollay

While the gongs of golden bronze

fills the night with rhythmic music

at the beating of the beaters hands

women and men who hears the beats

sways with joy as they join the dance.

But while everyone feels glorious joy

with the rhyming beat of the night

a man and women can never enjoy

for pains of fate entwined their sight

as a man weds other woman's ploy.

Long before that wedding dance

Awiyao and Lumnay lovely glance

each other with tender romance

full of joy as they shared in a dance

a burning passion with good riddance.

But culture and birth along with fate

never let them be perfect mate

For after seven harvest never late

they can't bear a child to make

their marriage acceptable to take

according to customs they partake.

The couple were force to separate

by the dictate of the village beliefs,

That every married man must make

a child to enhirit their namesake

If not, they must look another mate.

Lumnay deep in her heart can't take

such village traditions they all partake

for She loved Awiyao without mistake

only that she can't bear any child

even they had done all to appease

Kabuniyan to bless them with kids

by offering precious golden beads

and animals in rituals as they praise.

Awiyao, in his solemn voice

Said to her, if he had a choice

He prefer to share with her

a love with a love that will never

fade even beyond the grave

but He is a man of their culture

that he had to follow to explore

chance to have a child to adore

his name when he'll be no more

but if I will not bear fruit my dear

I will came back to you with cheer.

and hope that you'll still be here.

.

Go, my dear love, leave me here

Go to the dance with my love's sheer

But let me tell you this my dear

I will never love no more, I declare.

This is a reflection of the story of the wedding dance from Amador T. Daguio featuring tribal love stories of the Cordillera people.
