Paktakon or Riddles Part III

About the Climate, Weather and Elements  (Floods, Wind, Rain, Moon):

1. Baston ni San Jose
    Hindi maisip

        Ulan

    Staff of Saint Joseph
    Could not be counted

        Rain


2. Hindi man pilak, indi man bulawan
    Pero nagasiga

   Not silver and not even gold,
   But it is glittering and shimmering

3. Bati-on apang hindi makita
    Makita apang hindi bati-on.

It can be heard but not cannot be seen
It can be seen but cannot be heard

     Thunder and Lightning

4. Natao ako sa aga
    Kag napatay sa hapon
    Apang ako ang kalipay
    Sa tanan nga dutan-on

 Ang  pagbutlak kag pagtunod sang Adlaw

    I was born in the morning
   And died in the afternoon
   But I am the happiness
   Of everything on earth or earthly

The rising and setting of the sun or
   Sunrise and Sunset


5. Ara na, ara na.
    Pero hindi makita

  It is here, it is here
  But cannot be seen.
