Baka Poems | Examples


Ke Kgathaditswe Ke Lerato

Ke kgathaditswe Ke lerato. 
Ke mehwabadi ya lerato, 
Ke lla dikeledi tsa madi a mafubedu. 
Pelo yaka e marantharantha.
Kannete lerato le nsotlile.

Ke apere mabitso, Ke jere ditlhapa. 
Ke bitswa sefebe, Ke Pere
kannete Ke semaumau ka baka la lerato.

Kene Ke rata Ke nahana Kea ratwa. 
Hanthe lerato Lena le kgaitsedi eleng Ditakatso, 
Lerato lenfetotse se sebediswa. 
Empa leka jeno kentse Ke rata.

Musical Love

Musical love

Our love forged on the Mount Fuji
Dining, wining and dancing to the beats of Garbage Fuji
Many times shot were we with the film Fuji…

We sit crooning to the songs of apala
Where the drummer frenziedly beats the apala
Our dance steps perfect to the beat weren’t palapala…

And we also saw the need to sing our own juju
Stringing beats of love, people wondered we used juju
Young, old danced, fell in love – unscared of the ojuju…

We are not musically like Fela
But our love for good makes us Fela
We are nothing but jolly good fellas
Who will gleefully dance like Rockefellers…

The power of love will make you sufe
Like the days when our parents danced taka-sufe
And we near-nakedly played, hopped in turns at suwe
And innocently called all Hausas Sule…

I won’t leave you beloved – hence this waka
The song of mothers birthed from love, sang despite shouts of waka!
From neighbours, far and near, as they rock us to sleep – shaking their baka
To their own sonorous voices, with no instrument – unlike the commercial waka!

Anino Ng Darating

Ipinagbabawal ng Panginoong Diyos
Ang pagkain ng dugo ng hayop o ibon; 
Mula pa sa panahon ni Noe ay utos
Na ang dugo ay dapat sa lupa ibaon.

Sa bayang Israel ay ipinagbawal din, 
Ang paglabag ay mabigat na kasalanan; 
Itinitiwalag ang sinumang kumain
Ng dugo kahit hinaluan pa ng laman.

Hanggang sa panahon ng mga huling araw, 
Ang kabawalang ito ay nagpapatuloy; 
Dugo ng manok, kambing, baka o kalabaw, 
Huwag kanin matapos iluto sa apoy.

Ang pantubos noong una'y dugo ng hayop, 
Kaya ito'y banal, mabuti, at magaling; 
Sumunod tayo sa Diyos at magpasakop, 
Dugo ng hayop ay anino ng darating.

Ldr

LDR siya kung tawagin
Kalokohan lang para sa akin
Sapagkat ang ganitong klase ng relasyon
Sakit at pighati lang ang pabaon

Minsan ko na naranasan ang magsugal
Sa sitwasyon na alam kong hindi magtatagal
Nasayang lang ang ginugol na oras
At ang pagmamahal na parang wala ng bukas

Kelanman hindi sapat ang internet at telepono
Dahil sa ang mundo ngayon ay puno ng tukso
Ang daming pangako na sadyang napapako
Mula sa isang taong malayo

Ayoko na ilagay ang sarili ko
Sa isang tao na hindi ako sigurado
Ang dagat ay isang napakalaking pagitan
At napakahirap kung langit lang ang kapwa namin titignan

OO takot na akong masaktan muli
Ako lang din ang iiyak sa bandang huli
Takot na rin akong umasa
Baka pagising ko mawalan na ako ng pag-asa

LDR ay isang napakalaking hamon
Hangga’t maaga pa sa limot na ito ibaon
Hihintayin na lang ang tamang pagkakataon
Na magmahal sa iisang lugar sa itinakdang panahon
