ano'ng lakas naman
                                                ng buhos ng ulan

                                                dahil baha ay dagli
                                                lahat di makauwi

                                                nakulong sa gusali
                                                naranasan gutom

                                                napilitang buksan
                                                pagkain sa kahon

                                                na dapat ay ukol
                                                sa biktima ng baha noon
 

                                                           kahapo'y maaraw
                                                maaliwalas ang kalangitan

                                                ngayo'y malamlam, maulap
                                                nakapundo ang ulan

                                                sa umaga, pagkagising
                                                mahirap wariin
                                                magiging panahon natin

                                                kaya't ugaliin
                                                panaggalang sa ulan at lamig
                                                lagi nang dalhin
 

                                                umuulan na naman
                                                ang panahon ngayon
                                                di ko talaga maintindihan

                                                Paskong tag-ulan
                                                mukhang siyang aasahan

                                                ubod siguro nang ginaw
                                                simbang-gabi sa madaling-araw

                                                           puto bumbong at bibingka sa pondahan
                                                           at mainit na tsaang kakambal
                                                totoong bagay na almusal
