---- DISGRASYADA ( English Version )-----
That's the movie showing next street,
but so what, Inday, if they call you disgraced because they say you're mother but not a wife?
Someone said--- a poet from somewhere---Thay a rose by any name would smell as sweet.
How good it will be to have a child to bring up
Who will roll you a plum-leaf cigarette
Especially a girl who will rouse you from a bad dream And sing while darning the traces of your sweat And if a boy he will know how to fetch water Slide down the coconut tree and let dance the bamboo pole.
So there, who then is the truly disgraced
jThe poor mother who is not a wife
Or the wife who has neither child nor huaband
--------- Erlinda K. Albaro----------

In my opinion, DISGRASYADA has a lot of hatred. From the title itself, disgrasyada originated from the spanish word desgraciada, which means 'a disgraced woman.' The speaker in the poem felt disgust just because the woman they were talking about was not married and did not have children. Not having either one of those doesn't make you less of a woman.
