Here's an excerpt of an E-heads song entitled Magasin translated to Hiligaynon.

F:Nakita kita sa isang magasin
Dilaw ang 'yong suot at buhok mo'y green
Sa may tindahan sa may Baclaran
Napatingin, natulala sa iyong kagandahan

Naalala mo pa ba nung tayo pang dalawa
Di ko akalain sisikat ka
Medyo pangit ka pa nun
Ngunit ngayon

Iba na iyong ngiti
Iba na iyong tingin
Nagbago na lahat sa iyo
Sana'y di nakita
Sana'y walang problema
Pagkat kulang ang dala kong pera
Pambili, pambili sa mukha mong maganda

E: I saw you in a magazine
You are dressed in yellow
and your hair is green
in a shop in Baclaran
I was mesmerized and
hynoptized by your beauty

Do you remember when we were still together?
I didn't expect that you'll get famous as
you were quite ugly then but now...

Your smile is different
Your look is different
Everything has changed in you
I wish I didn't see it
then maybe I wouldn't have any problem
because I don't have enough money
to buy your pretty face

I: Nakit-an ta ka sa isa ka magasin
Yellow ang sul-ob mo kag buhok mo green
Sa may tiangge sa may Baclaran
Napatulok, naurungan sa imo katahumon

Nadumduman mo pa sang kita pa nga duha
Wala gid ko naghuna-huna nga maging sikat ka
Medyo law-ay ka pa sadto pero subong

Lain na imo yuhum
Lain na imo tulok
Naglain na tanan sa imo
Tani wala nakita,
Tani wala ko problema
Kay kulang ang dala ko nga kwarta
Pambakal, pambakal sa tahum mo nga itsura

F: Bata, bata tulog na
Wala dito ang iyong nanay
Nagpunta ng tindahan, bumiling tinapay
Bata, bata tulog na.

E: Little one, little one, sleep now
Your mother is not here,
She went to the store to buy bread
Little one, little one, sleep now.

I: Ili-ili, tulog anay,
Wala diri imong nanay,
Kadto tienda bakal papay,
Ili-ili, tulog anay
