Konting panahon na lang, anak

Konting araw na lang at aalis na ako

Ang oras ay humahabol, ang dilim lumalaganap

Pero ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, hindi magbabago

Paalam, aking mahal na anak

Huwag kang makakalimot, huwag kang iiyak

Sa bawat pagsubok, mararamdaman mo ako

Sa bawat tagumpay mo nandoon ako

Ang iyong ngiti, mananatili sa aking alaala

Ang iyong halakhak, musika sa aking pandinig

Ang iyong yakap, init na laging hinahanap

Mga sandaling kasama ka, baon ko sa aking paglisan

Paalam, aking mahal na anak

Huwag kang malulungkot, huwag kang iiyak

Sa bawat pagsubok mararamdaman mo ako

Sa bawat tagumpay mo nandoon ako

Maging matapang ka, anak, harapin ang buhay

Huwag kang susuko, lumaban ka nang tunay

Ang pangarap mo, abutin mo nang buo

At tandaan mo, mahal na mahal kita, kahit malayo

Paalam, aking mahal na anak

Huwag kang malulungkot, huwag kang iiyak

Sa bawat pagsubok, mararamdaman mo ako

Sa bawat tagumpay mo, nandoon ako

Panahon na, anak, kailangan ko nang lumisan

Ang dyos naghihintay Pero ang puso ko'y sa'yo, walang hanggan

Mahal na mahal kita.. simula ng nabuhay ka.

Sunrise here, but I still see the dawn back home

Golden light on rice fields, where my spirit roams

Years have passed, since I first stepped on foreign ground

Chasing dreams, a different life, a different sound

But my heart beats a rhythm, a tropical design

A calling from the islands, a love truly mine

Oh, Philippines, my homeland, I hear your gentle plea

This balikbayan's longing, to finally be free

To feel your warm embrace, beneath your endless sky

My soul yearns for your beauty, 'til the day that I die

The scent of sampaguita, a memory so clear

The laughter of my family, I wish that they were near

I walk these city streets, a world so fast and new

But my thoughts drift to beaches, and skies of azure blue

I see the children playing, in every passing face

And a pang of sweet nostalgia, for that familiar place

'Cause my heart beats a rhythm, a tropical design

A calling from the islands, a love truly mine

Oh, Philippines, my homeland, I hear your gentle plea

This balikbayan's longing, to finally be free

To feel your warm embrace, beneath your endless sky

My soul yearns for your beauty, 'til the day that I die

I've built a life here, found success in many ways

But there's a part of me, that truly still just prays

For simple joys and moments, shared with kin and friend

A life where my true spirit, can finally transcend

'Cause my heart beats a rhythm, a tropical design

A calling from the islands, a love truly mine

Oh, Philippines, my homeland, I hear your gentle plea

This balikbayan's longing, to finally be free

To feel your warm embrace, beneath your endless sky

My soul yearns for your beauty, 'til the day that I die

Yes, I'm coming home, to where I truly belong

Back to the Philippines, where my heart is strong

My island home, my island home, I'm coming back to you

The balikbayan's journey, is finally coming through.

That day, I remember, walking aimlessly along

Lost in my own thoughts, humming a quiet song

Then suddenly, I saw you, like a vision in the light

Everything just stopped, you were an unexpected sight

Why did I let you go? Why did I let you go?

You were right there, I was speechless for once

Is this what they call love at first sight, to feel so strong?

Why did I let you go? Where did I go wrong?

Your beauty hit me hard, it took my breath away

A feeling I'd never known, brighter than the day

My heart began to pound, a feeling I never knew

I just stood there staring, didn't know what to do

Why did I let you go? why did I let you go?

You were right there, I was speechless for once

Is this what they call love at first sight, to feel so strong?

Why did I let you go? Where did I go wrong?

I wanted to approach you, to say hello, to try

But fear held me captive, as you just walked on by

But finally I got the courage to get your name and number

I do not want Regrets of what could be, and words that went unsaid

Why did I let you go? Why did Iet you go?

You were right there, I was speechless for once

Is this what they call love at first sight, to feel so strong?

I should not let you go. and say what did I do wrong?

That fleeting moment, I cannot slip past

A beautiful stranger, I should not past this chance

I must get your name and number

Pretty girl please don't let me go and give me a chance

Sa bawat paggising, sikat ng araw sa bintana

Ang munting anghel ko, gumising na pala sa tabi ko

Kumikislap ang mata, panay ngiti at masaya

Aking prinsesa, halika at yakapin kita

O, aking munting prinsesa, bituin sa aking paningin

Ang sarap mong bihisan, para sa santacruzan

Bawat galaw mo'y sining, artista sa puso ko

Ikaw ang tanglaw ng buhay,at saya ng pamilya

Pula o rosas, alin ang susuotin mo ngayon?

Damit na matingkad,tela na tinahi ko pa

Tiara na kumikinang, sa buhok mo'y ilalagay

Para sa lola, ikaw ang tunay na prinsesa ng buhay ko

O, aking munting prinsesa, bituin sa aking paningin

Ang sarap mong bihisan, para sa santacruzan

Bawat galaw mo'y sining, artista sa puso ko

Ikaw ang tanglaw ng buhay,at saya ng pamilya

Kahit anong hilingin, 'di ka matitiis

Para kang bulaklak, laging may tamis

Sa bawat paglaki mo, lalo kang gumaganda

Aking munting prinsesa, regalo ng maykapal

O, aking munting prinsesa, bituin sa aking paningin

Ang sarap mong bihisan, para sa santacruzan

Bawat galaw mo'y sining, artista sa puso ko

Ikaw ang tanglaw ng buhay,at saya ng pamilya

Prinsesa ng aking buhay, huwag kalimutan

Laging magdasal ng pasasalamat

Sa poong maykapal

Daddy, dearest, here I write

A love letter, pure and bright

You spoiled me with your gentle hand

The best father in the land

Your sweet, sweet love, a constant stream

You made my every childhood dream

Oh, how I wish that I could say

These words to you, right here today

Each little wish, you made it true

My happy world, because of you

No greater gift could ever be

Than all the love you gave to me

Your sweet, sweet love, a constant stream

You made my every childhood dream

Oh, how I wish that I could say

These words to you, right here today

Through every tear, you wiped my eyes

Beneath your caring, watchful skies

A bond like ours, so strong and deep

Forever in my heart, I'll keep

My dearest Dad, my guiding star

No matter where you are, you're not so far

I love you more than words can tell

Within my heart, you truly dwell.

Sa bawat chatbox, pangalan mo'y hinahanap

Sa bawat"online" puso ko'y lumiliyab

Oras nati'y baligtad, gabi mo'y araw ko

Miss na miss kita, oh giliw ko

Ang syota kong expat, malayo man sa piling

Sa bawat tawag mo, ako'y napapa-feeling

'Di man magkatabi, sa puso'y magkatabi

Ikaw ang bituin ko, sa malalim na gabi

Mga larawan mo, 'yan ang aking pananaw

Ang bawat post mo, panaginip na kay sarap

Doon sa 'yong bansa, iba ang iyong mundo

Sana'y 'di lumamig, pag-ibig nating buo

Ang syota kong expat, malayo man sa piling

Sa bawat tawag mo, ako'y napapa-feeling

'Di man magkatabi, sa puso'y magkatabi

Ikaw ang bituin ko, sa malalim na gabi

Minsan napapaisip sa kasama mo riyan

Mga simpleng bagay, 'di ko mapagsaluhan

Pero ang tiwala, 'yan ang ating sandigan

Para sa pangarap, titiisin ang lahat makasama ka lamang

Ang syota kong expat, malayo man sa piling

Sa bawat tawag mo, ako'y napapa-feeling

'Di man magkatabi, sa puso'y magkatabi

Ikaw ang bituin ko, sa malalim na gabi

Darating din ang araw, tayo'y magkakasama

'Di na sa screen lang, kundi sa'ting dalawa

Hintayin mo ako, o 'di kaya'y darating ka

Ang syota kong expat, mahal na mahal kita.

In campus halls, our minds took flight

Fueled by the people's humble might

Scholar ng bayan we wore with pride

With dreams of futures, open wide

We learned and grew, in freedom's light

Prepared to champion what is right

Oh, scholar ng bayan, hear the nation's plea

It's time to give back, for all to see

With every skill, and every gained degree

Build a brighter future, strong and free

For the"Bayan" that raised us, loyal and true

Our service calls, there's so much to do

Some found success, in lands afar

Chasing each rising, distant star

Others stayed, through thick and thin

Fighting battles, from deep within

But the debt remains, a silent call

To rise together, lest we fall

Oh, scholar ng bayan, hear the nation's plea

It's time to give back, for all to see

With every skill, and every gained degree

Build a brighter future, strong and free

For the"Bayan" that raised us, loyal and true

Our service calls, there's so much to do

Not just with money, but with time and heart

Playing our selfless, vital part

Mentoring youth, with wisdom's hand

For a stronger, fairer, promised land

Oh, scholar ng bayan, hear the nation's plea

It's time to give back, for all to see

With every skill, and every gained degree

Build a brighter future, strong and free

For the"Bayan" that raised us, loyal and true

Our service calls, there's so much to do.
