[00:21]
Isip ko'y naglalaro / My mind plays
Sa hiwaga ng kamusmusan. / in the mystery of childhood
Nagtatanong / It asks itself
Saan napunta ang ngiti at tuwa. / where the smile and joy went
[01:10, Chorus 1]
Sa nakalimot na kabataan / The youth that forgot
Sa nilimot na kalayaan... / in the forgotten freedom...
[01:42, Chorus 2]
Tahan na / Keep your head up (annot.: meant to console someone who is crying)
May bukas pa. / there is still a tomorrow
Hayaan mong yakapin kita / Let me embrace you
Sa umagang naghihintay / in the morning full of expectation
Sa pag liwanag ng kalangitan. / for the light of the sky
[03:42]
Ang darang ay / The heat inside (literal: exposure to the heat of fire) is
Nadarama ko rin. / perceptible for me too
Sa iyong mga mata / In your eyes
Sa bawat tingin / every single view
Nagtataka / is wondering
Saan napunta ang kulay at ganda. / where the color and beauty went
[04:29, Chorus 1]
[05:01, Chorus 2]
[05:42]
Sa iyong pag pikit / When you close your eyes
Gabay mo'y akin tinig. / my voice is your guide
Sa iyong pag himbing / During your slumber
Duyan ugoy aking bisig. / my arms are your cradle swing
Sa aking yakap / In my embrace
Hayaan bawiin / let withdraw
Ang hapdi ng lamig. / the pain of coldness
[06:06, Chorus 2]
[06:27, Chorus 2]
Hayaan mong akayin kita / Let me lead you by the hand
[06:48]
Tahan na. / Keep your head up
Lilipas din / It will pa** by as well
Ang gulo sa buhay mo. / the turbulence in your life
