The kimchi flavored air of Korea
brought by the young and brave souls
has added heat to the volcanic lava
and scandalous joy of acrobatic performances
never less of a wild island cry
as hot as the red chili paste
as frantic as the Camiguin sea
as tasty as the smell of kim
with laughters carved on the walls
chi and orin shall rock the dance floor
for suji will not say no to a limbo
sujin learns to chacha
added to the high kicks of hwany
Jung's gentle hip swing
and the stick dance of lee
salsa shall find fides
with the flying stunts of Na as finale
shall compose a memory
of thousand colors for Song
the island shall look for you
and your candid raw talents
that nourished the alcoholics
and the lovers of nature
come again to camiguin
so the playground shall again
celebrate the kind of fever
that can make mercury rise
so smokers may forget about nicotin
and drinkers can sleep soundly
without the beer and gin
my heart will never be the same again
for it has grown bigger again
with so much love
and the grace of friendship
shall keep me safe
even when you are far away
and smell like kimchi
