Ang Batang Matipid
The Frugal Child
Ang batang matipid ay laging masaya
Sapagkat lagi nang may laman ang bulsa;
Pag kailangan lang saka gumagasta,
Ang labis na sukli ay tinatago pa.
The frugal child is always happy
Because the pocket is always full;
When you just need to spend,
Excess change is still hidden.
Ang batang matipid, laging pinupuri
Pagkat isinusuot, damit na may sulsi;
Mga bagong gamit, di nagpapabili
Hangga’t marami pang naihahalili.
The frugal child, always praised
For worn, dress with thorns;
New tools, not expensive
As long as there are more substitutes.
Ang batang matipid, laging nag-iimpok
Sa bangko’t alkansya’y laging naghuhulog;
Pagkat batid niyang ang may isinuksok,
May titingalaing kapalarang dulot.
The frugal child, always saves
In the bank and in the piggy bank there is always a drop;
Because he knew who had been stabbed,
There will be a strange fate.
Ang batang matipid ay kapuri-puri
Pagkat musmos pa lang, likas nang mabuti;
Pagdating ng araw, sino’ng magsasabi,
Ang lahat ng bagay, kanyang mabibili?
The frugal child is commendable
Because still young, naturally good;
When the day comes, who will say,
Everything, he can buy?
