Ama Mi

                                                                Ama Mi                                                                    

Ama mi nga adda't sadi langit,

Madaydayaw kuma ti nagan mo.

Dumteng kuma ti pagariam,

Matungpal kuma ti nakemmo.

Ditoy daga a kas sadi langit,

Wen ditoy daga a kas sadi langit.

 

Itdem kadakam iti aldaw ditoy,

Ti kanen mi iti patinayon nga aldaw.

Pakawanem dagiti basolmi

Akas met iti pammakawan mi

Iti basol dagiti makabasol kadakami

Dinakam met baybay-an nga umannugot

Iti solisog

Isalakannakam iti dakes.

 

During weekends, when I was in grade school my father used to let me sing this song every night while massaging his back at night.  It's the Ilocano version of Our Father (Ama Mi), usually sang by the  Catholic churchgoers on Sundays during the Eucharistic celebration.  It has different versions.  I love this song! I feel at peace whenever I sing it or just humming the tune.
