One of my favorite works by Sir Agot. 😁😁

A lullaby written in Bicolano language (from my hometown) and the lyrics goes:

"Caturog na Nonoy
Ta mapaduyan ka
Piyonga na Nonoy an duwa mong mata
Kasubago Nonoy na ako dai pa
Hinanap mo ako ta mapaduyan ka"

Roughly translated to English
"Sleep now, my little boy
and you will be cradled
Close your two eyes, little boy
Earlier, when I was not around
You were looking for me, because you want to be cradled"

From the words used, seems that this is from Albay province in Bicol (it used "Piyonga" which means "to close")
