HER Sonnet!
A path of life, creating so much life: Perhaps the deepest sense and holiest treasure, Plus husbands, wives, and children - what a pleasure, Yes… one of them is my beloved wife...
Eight decades' work and love in time and space, In days and nights, with tears of joy and sorrow - Great gifts for generations now to follow - Have so fulfilled His plan, oh what a grace...
This wisdom means: to give more than to take, You will get richer than by mindless matter - May mean your grandchild's kiss much more and better…
A life on earth, and so for heaven's sake, More: Mama's unconditional love and care - A gift of God, to value and to share...
(= "Happy Eighty, Mama", June 28, 2011: To Mama with Love!) - |

李 白 Lǐ Bái (*701, †762) - 月下獨酌 Yuè Xià Dú Zhuó
Moonshine Sonnet - Mondscheinsonett
('Drinking alone under the moon' / transl. by Hilmar Alquiros, 2011+2024)
|
|
|
花間一壺酒 獨酌無相親 舉杯邀明月 對影成三人 |
huā jiān yī hú jiǔ dú zhuó wú xiàng (xiāng) qīn jǔ bēi yāo míng yuè duì yǐng chéng sān rén |
Among the flowers, with a jug of wine I drink - there are no relatives of mine I raise my glass, the moon above preferred In our shadow now as our third |
Inmitten zwischen Blumen ein Krug Wein, So trinke ich, der ich noch einsam sei ... Den Becher hoch!, lad' ich den Mond herbei, Als Dritter findet sich mein Schatten ein! |
|
月既不解飲 影徒隨我身 暫伴月將影 行樂須及春 |
yuè jì bù jiě yǐn yǐng tú suí wǒ shēn zàn bàn yuè jiāng yǐng xíng (háng, xìng) lè xū jí chūn |
The moon seems not to know yet how to drink. The shadow likes to follow me, I think. The moon will be my shadow for a while. Till springtime you will see my happy smile |
Erst schien dem Mond mein Trinken einerlei - Der Schatten stellt sich leichter auf mich ein, Für kurze Zeit mein Saufkumpan zu sein - Nun lässt der Frühling unsere Freude frei! |
|
我歌月徘徊 我舞影零亂 醒時同交歡 醉後各分散 |
wǒ gē yuè pái huí wǒ wǔ yǐng líng luàn xǐng shí tóng (tòng) jiāo huān zuì hòu gè (gě) fēn sǎn |
And to the moon I'm singing my romance. With our shadow endlessly we dance When I'm awake, we are together first But when I'm drunk, instead I am dispersed |
Sieh, mein Gesang bringt einen Mond zum Schwanken ... Ich tanze und mein Schatten folgt sogleich. Noch nüchtern, schien die Freundschaft fest und reich, Dass wir entglitten, war dem Rausch zu danken! |
|
永結無情遊 相期邈雲漢 |
yǒng jié (jiē) wú qíng yóu xiàng (xiāng) qī miǎo yún hàn |
We’ll be together now eternally When even far away we seem to be... |
Vereint nun ewiglich ruft uns die Ferne: Einst treffen wir uns jenseits aller Sterne ... |

Ode to the Philippines!
This Eastern Pearl: the Philippines, this masterpiece of nature wins my heart and soul immediately: breathtaking islands in the Sea...
This Eastern People: pious, poor, and rich... their beauty! Oh, I'm sure: a friendly God, almighty-wise, created once this paradise...
This Eastern Spirit: high above these charming miracles of love - this Magic Pearl, so deep, so high: no better place to live and die...!
Hilmar Alquiros 2011 |
Ode an die Philippinen!
Des Ostens Perle: Philippinen, Natur, als Meisterwerk erschienen, rührt Herz und Seele mir sogleich: den Atem nimmt dies Inselreich ...
Des Ostens Menschen: fromm und arm, und reich! ... ja, ihrer Schönheit Charme! Ein weiser Gott, der freundlich schaut, hat einst dies Paradies erbaut ...
Des Ostens Geist: hat von da droben der Liebeswunder Reiz gewoben, welch Perle!, hoch wie tief Magie – lässt leben gut und sterben sie ...

“Cool” Lucban ❤ / Quezon Province. Self-taught(!) English3 (speaking fluently).
|
A Wonderful Town! |
Eine wunderbare Stadt! |
|
In 2011 and 2012 my dear wife Lilian and I spent vacations in Tagaytay and Lucban to compare and decide where we would live after my retirement in 2013 and... LUCBAN was best in many ways!
|
2011 und 2012 verbrachten meine liebe Frau Lilian und ich Urlaube in Tagaytay und Lucban, zu vergleichen und entscheiden, wo wir nach meiner Pensionierung 2013 leben würden und ... LUCBAN war in vielerlei Hinsicht am besten! |
|
When we saw Lukban Highlands (already discovered on the internet in Germany!), near to Kamay ni Hesus / Healing Church ... it took us less than 5 minutes to decide to buy our lots there! :-)

Ode to Lucban! |
|
|
1 In Quezon Province, there's a town Of beauty and of high renown, Faith, Hope and Love, it rests upon - The Capital of Arts - Lucban! |
4 So, under a pomelo tree, They chose the name Lucbán, you see! In fifteen, seventy and eight: Lucban was founded, small but great… |
|
2 Well started by two friars now, With sixteen hundred Christians’ vow! Banahaw - its protecting tower, Kamay ni Hesus' inner power! |
5 Pahiyas and the Holy Week, Look: millions find Lucban unique! Good people everywhere, therefore Lucban does flourish more and more |
|
3 Three hunters looked for better signs And found, like Shakespeare’s famous lines, “The nightingale and not the lark…”, Here: salacsác – and not uwák! |
6 In Quezon Province, there's a town Of beauty and of high renown, Faith, Hope and Love, it rests upon - The Capital of Arts - Lucban! |

History of Lucban
After some research on the internet I was lucky to rediscover a special book about the history of the town (1550-1900!) - apparently forgotten by the inhabitants, even history teachers, I could not find anyone who still knew about or even owned this single book on the history of Lucban!
|
Geschichte Lucbans
Nach einigen Recherchen im Internet hatte ich das Glück, ein spezielles Buch über die Geschichte der Stadt (1550-1900!) wieder zu entdecken - offenbar von den Einwohnern, sogar Geschichtslehrern vergessen, ich konnte niemanden finden, der noch von diesem einzigen Buch über die Geschichte Lucbans wusste oder es gar besaß! |
|
Later I was able to find and buy two copies in the USA to donate them to this wonderful town, now in Museum (Cornelio "Jojo" Raneses) and Library of Lucban (you can read it there!).
|
Später konnte ich zwei Exemplare in den USA finden und kaufen, um sie dieser wunderbaren Stadt zu schenken, die sich jetzt im Museum (Cornelio "Jojo" Raneses) und in der Bibliothek von Lucban befindent (Sie können es dort lesen!). |
