Sama sa Ginoo
Ang gugma Niya way sukod
Higugma-on na tika
Bisan pasakit lang gani
Ang puro gipakita mo
Pasalamatan sad tika
Gani sa pagkalisod-lisod
Sa kaagi natong duha
Andam akong mopasaylo
Hinaut na
Sa tabang gikan sa langit
Kini tanan buhaton ko
Wala nay kalagot
Wala nay kasakit
Kini ang i-ampo ko

If it be
The waves beckon
These grains that glisten in the sun
To travel far
And settle far off
To begin again
And if it be
The foam withdraws
The rocks stay stoic
Night or day
Apart, away
Not now, I pray
For sea and shore
Say so much more
Than ears can here
They speak of love
Of moving on
Of staying on
And going strong
-jara-
(c.2012)
Tell me again
That you need me
Call me to your side
Really want me
May I not leave you
I will not betray you
Oh, love beyond all telling
I submit to you
I will be faithful
I will be true
