[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 pass by as well

Ang gulo sa buhay mo. / the turbulence in your life
