Magpakawiwili nga bukad ha Mayo.

Bukad nga kadam’an luob an at’ tuna,

Inin tarukanga nga labi kahayaw

nga say rayandayan hinin kinabuhi;

bukad nga nasunog sugad han kalayo,

hinin kasingkasing, kun bulan ha Mayo.

TAGALOG:

Magugustuhan 'pag pinili,

Burak at tsampaka, marol na namili,

Rosas, asusenas. rosal na mahambot

ay sumasama sa hangin sa lambot.

Ang kanilang amoy abot sa malayo

Nakawiwiwling bulaklak ng Mayo.

Noon ang bulaklak na nakatanim sa lupa,

na nakabibihag ng kasipan,

May waling-waling at meron ding manan-aw

na nakapagpapasaya ng matang paningin

May dasal, may hindi, may lalayo,

magdamit malaya, at hindi bulaklak ng Mayo.

Itong saraduhan sa labi na nakawala

sa umaga daw ay nakapagpapasayaw,

Kahit kalatsutsi, at kahit surangga,

May amoy at katas na sadyang ibangga,

Hindi na nagpapakita kahit saan mang dako,

Marami ang bulaklak sa buwan ng Mayo.

Iba't ibang mga bulaklak

Lahat hindi napangalanan,

May bulakla sa kahoy, may bulaklak sa buhay

na katulad nitong kabuhayan,

Bulaklak na nasunog ng apoy,

Nitong puso kahit buwan ng Mayo.

ENGLISH:

You will love it if you choose

Burak and champaka, Marol that suiting

Roses, asuzenas, rosal that soft

Their fragrance that reach far

I love the flowers of May.

Before, the flowers are still planted

It already captures the mind

We have waling-waling as well as manan-aw,

that brings glisten to our vision

There is prayer while there is not; don't go far

Dress freely or not for the flowers of May.

The closure on the lips are there,

Every morning, you can dance everywhere

Even calachuchi, neither surangga,

A scent and sap that tends to allure

You will never see like this whenever you go,

Full of flowers on May.

Different flowers
You can't name all
There in the woods; there in life
This is for a living
Flowers that burnt in fire
In every heart, on the flowers of May.

“Every month of May, there is what we called “Flores de Mayo.”These are done by beautiful ladies walking and they have used different flowers for their arko and for their bouquet. Flowers to be used are selected carefully. They symbolize many things and selecting the right flower becomes more attractive to the judgemental eyes of the people watching it. It also gives beauty to the lady that uses the flower as her design in her arko. The beauty of those flowers that we have seen during the month of May is really priceless.”
