    1) A nunuk tree that was on a hill grew new leaves and twigs but then suddenly lost all its branches, leaving the speaker standing under the fallen tree. 2) The speaker can no longer watch boats on the sea from the nunuk tree because they are now on the side facing away from the sea. 3) The speaker weeps in grief, as it was learning of losing their family from the sounds of the sea that has made them an orphan.

    Nu Nunuk Du Tukun

    Catalina Hontomin

    Nu nunuk du tukun, minuhung as kadisi na;


    Ichapungpung diya am yaken u nilawngan na.
    Kapaytalamaran ava su avang di idaud
    Ta miyan du inayebngan na, ta miyan du inayebngan na.
    Nu itanis ko na un an didiwen ko
    Ta nu taaw aya u suminbang diyaken.
    Nu maliliyak a pahung as maheheyet a riyes
    U minahey niya diyaken.

    Translation: The Nunuk On The Hill

    The Nunuk on the hill shot forth new leaves and twigs;
    Then suddenly all its branches fell, and I under it.
    On what is left I cannot watch boats on the sea,
    For I stand on the side away from the sea.
    I weep in my grief;
    It was the sea that made me an orphan
    The sad news came to me in the roar of the breakers,
    From the voice of the mighty sea currents.
