I am Abra father of Caburayan, I can control the weather.
Anianihan han my love for you is uneding
Cabalangegan was a formerly a jungle at the edge of the river Abra. Onthe far side of the river were mountains, high and steep.
my daugther Amianihan, this love is in danger. Your father wanted you to marry Sagyday
Oh, Caburayan my feeling for you is forever.
Abra wanted his daughter to marry either Saguday, god of the wind, or Revenador, god of thunder and lightning. This being so, Anianihan took Caburayan from her home.
One day the sun, eye of Amman, shone so brightly that the water of the river Abra was excessively heated. Smoke rose from the river. Soon, thick, black clouds began to darken the sky. Then Saguday sent the strongest wind until the crowns of the trees brushed the ground. The god Revenador sent down the largest strings of fire. The heaviest rains fell.All these frightful events lasted seven days.
Abra wept a great deal. He sent Lady Makiling away after beating her.When Abra was alone, he wept day and night till Bulan, god of peace and calm, came. Though Bulan was there to brighten Abra's spirits, Abra did not stop weeping. He could not express his anger.
Mighty gods, and goddesses bring me back my daughter.
go away!
The river Abra then rose and covered the trees. There rose avast body of water until only the highest part of the mountain could be seen. It looked like a back of a turtle froma distance. This was the spot where Abra lived.
