Dyer Nanay

 Dyer Nanay

by John Hingco 

Dyer Nanay by John Hingco shows the desire of every woman to help their family. This particular Kinaray-a poem though has described the heartbreaking status of some women in postcolonial countries. Due to poverty and ignorance , due to lack of education, women are forced to sell their body, as the reports on human trafficking tells us, often this women are promised better life for their family and themselves only to find themselves enslaved in foreign places with no one to turn to. 

A more profound discussion can be seen in the link below.

Dyer Nanay, kumusta ron tinyo

nahidlaw ron takon

kaninyo nga tanan.

 

"Nay,

luyag ko run kuntani nga magpauli

indi ron takon

kantus kangakon

obra rigya sa Japan.

Kuon kagrekruitment edyensi

kultural danser kuno

ang obra namo rigya.

Mura dia

nagapa por kilo

tamon rigya

hamak ro ra, "NAy?

Tatki-isa

mayad timo ra?

 

"Nay,

kun-an mo gali si Neneng

nga indi ron mag-ambisyon

nga magdanser rigya sa Japan,

nga daaan wara pa ran eksperyens

neber bin tats, neber bin kist

 

'Nay,

kun-an mo dulang tana

nga magtanum kamote

kag alugbati

kag magsagud kang idik.

 

"Nay, "nay,

indi ron takon kaagwanta

indi ron takon kaagwanta

 

Lab, Inday
