Kundiman

Isang awit mula sa kanya at ako ay umibig
O ang pag-ibig, maaari kong sabihin sa iyo sa detalye
Parang narinig ko ang malambing na kanta ng isang ibon
Katulad ng pagiging suspendido sa isang mataas na swing
Pakiramdam ko ay pwedeng lumipad tulad ng isang tutubi o paruparu
Nakakita ang talon sa unang pagkakataon
Gusto kong umakyat at bumaba katulad ng isang siso
Tubig kumukutitaptap tulad ng diamante
Gusto kong isigaw sa mundo at magdiwang
Walang hadlang , walang pagtitimpi , puno ng ligaya
Laging mabulaklak, parang ipoipong panliligaw
Alam ko siya ay laging naroon bilang aking sandalan
Iyan ang kapangyarihan ng pag-ibig
Hanggang tayo ay maging iisa na lang

One song from him and I’m in love
Oh to be in love, I can tell you in detail
Hearing the melodious song of a nightingale
It’s like being suspended in a swing as high
Feeling able to fly like a dragonfly or butterfly
Seeing the waterfall for the first time in awe
I want to go up and down the same as a seesaw
Water glimmering like diamonds and so great
I want to convey to the world and celebrate
No barrier, no strap, no holding back, just full of zip
Everything’s rosy, always like a whirlwind courtship
I know he’s always there serving as my anchor
Such is the power of being in love
When we become one unit and above
