Wait!
Wait
until the fruit is fully ripe
so you can taste
its sweetness.
Wait
until the rain is over
so you can fly your kite
up so high.
Wait
until the flowers have withered
so you can take the seeds of the new blooms
for the next springtime.
Wait
until I say the words 'I love you'
so you can hold me
....closely.

Catch Me If You Can
Catch me if you can
and I'll be yours.
Tame me if you can
and I'll follow you.
I'm a restless soul
who just love to wander
I tasted the bitter
and sweet in life
I have gone to the low
and also
to the high waves of destiny
and nowhere yet
no one yet
had ever made me still.
Catch me if you can
and I'll be yours.

Pangalay Dance
Pangalay dance
my first time to dance
has given me muscle pain
and has given me that little joy
when you held my hand
when I stumbled down
during practice
and, oh!
I almost wanted
to keep my hands
not be washed.
Pangalay dance
has given me muscle pain
but my heart was overjoyed
because my instructor
....was you.

What's Wrong With You Woman
What's wrong
with you woman?
He's just a man,
why do you have
to let your heart
be filled with sorrow? ....
he's just a man.
Look at yourself,
do you really deserve
to cry? ....
there's so much tears
in your eyes.
What's wrong
with you woman?
Look at him,
he's just a man

Get You Out Of My Life
Go on and show me your cruelty
let me see you beating a helpless beggar
on the street.
Go on and embarass me
let me hear you say in public
how stupid I am.
Go on and hurt me
let me see you kissing the other girl
on the street.
Go on, just go on not taking care of me
so it would be easy for me
to get you out of my life.

Music
Music
let me dance
infront of you
as you play.
Music
release everything in me
my sorrow
my joy
and even my love
as I sway my body
in your rhythm.
Music
make me adorable
when I dance
so that
every man will notice me
every man will like me
every man will want me.

Sleepless Night
Oh, this sleepless night
why do you have to stay in my mind
even when I close my eyes
thoughts of you are flashing
like countless lightnings
all over the fiery sky.
Oh, this sleepless night
how can I ever make this end
how can I ever stop
thinking of you.
Oh you,
please come to me
and help me end
this sleepless night.

What Is There In The Night?
What is there in the night?
only darkness...
the flowers, the trees are the same...
only not lightened
and the people...
only tired.
What is there in the night?
not a silence...
the voices in the garden...
loud and clear
and the water in the river...
only chanting.
What is there in the night?
...only darkness.

Yaman Ko (english- 'my treasure...your love, my love')
Ang yaman ko
ay hindi kumikinang
hindi nabibilang
at hindi nahahawakan
sapagkat ito
ay nasa aking puso
at ito
ay ang pag-ibig mo
at pag-ibig ko.
-english- 'my treasure...your love, my love'
My wealth
is not glittering
cannot be counted
and cannot be touched
because it is in my heart

You Are The Sky
You are the sky
I always look upon.
You are the sky
I always speak to
about everything in myheart
my wishes
my hopes
my joys
my sorrows.
You are the sky...
'though speechless
you give me comfort
in times of too much stress
in my daily life.
You are the sky...
someday I will join you
when the gate of eternity
