Rain (Ulan)
Pour down gently
oh rain,
and let the children
whose innocence
will soon end
play with you
joyfully.
Pour down gently
oh rain,
and tenderly caress
the lonely hearts
of broken love.
Pour down gently
oh rain,
and let the hearts
of the young lovers
be united.

Castle of Dream
Have you been there
in the castle of dream?
I've been there
in the castle of dream.
There were many people
of different colors,
of different clothes,
of different language,
in one long table
enjoying different foods
exchanging smiles
with pure gentle love
glowing in their eyes.
In the castle of dream,
I've been there...
just......behind the walls.

Less Than A Human
Don't order me to sit
when I need to stand
don't order me to listen
when I need to say something
don't force me to follow you
when your way is wrong.
Yes,
you may be in a higher position
than I am
yes,
you may be earning higher salary
than I do
but it does not mean
you can treat me less
than a human.
Don't...
don't...
don't treat me less

Anino Ng Kahapon -sa tagsibol- (english 'The Shadow Of Yesterday -in springtime-)
The shadow of yesterday
untill when
will you be embracing,
untill when
will you let yourself suffer?
Look!
even in that unfertilized soil
the little shoots peep
to show the bloom
to give you joy
to give you hope.
Go!
and to your sorrow
say goodbye
leave behind
the shadow of yesterday
and embrace into your heart
the new hope

I Won!
My partner and I
were having a drink
when the moon was hiding
behind the clouds.
A bottle of red wine
and cans of beer
with a squid and pork fried
and cheese
and cucumber with miso on top
were on the small table
infront of us.
At first we laugh
and talk
and laugh
untill I noticed
I was talking alone
my partner
with his head down

I Won't Fly
I'm just a little bird
but I've got wings
like the wings
of an eagle.
I can fly high
higher than the clouds
but I won't fly
because I want to walk with you
under the sun
or even under the rain.
I'm just a little bird
but I've got wings
like the wings
of an eagle.
I can fly high
but, I won't fly
and will never spread my wings

Sirkulo Ng Buhay
Sirkulo ng buhay
mula sa lupa
muli'y...
sa lupa.
Ikaw man ngayon
ay nakatira sa malaking bahay
ikaw man ngayon
ay napapalamutian ng mga hiyas sa katawan
ikaw man ngayon
ay nasa pinakamataas na pedestal
ikaw man ngayon
ang kinikilalang pinakamaganda
pinakamatalino
pinakadalubhas a...
Sa sirkulo ng buhay
ikaw ay mananatiling kauri
ng mula sa lupa
muli'y...

My Midnight Shadow Man
He comes at midnight
and kisses me tenderly
but everytime I try to touch him
he just disappear.
My midnight shadow man
who are you in my life?
My midnight shadow man
are you real,
or just my fantasy?
My midnight shadow man
can I touch you tonight?
My midnight shadow man
will you be by my side
even just for tonight?
My midnight shadow man
my midnight shadow...

Anino Ng Kahapon -sa tagsibol
Anino ng kahapon
hanggang kailan mo yayakapin
iyong sarili'y
hanggang kailan pahihirapan.
Masdan mo
kahit sa tigang na lupa
mga munting usbong
nagpupumilit mamukadkad
upang sa iyo'y
ganda nila'y ipang-aliw.
Hayo ka na
at sa iyong lungkot ay magpaalam
anino ng kahapon
ay tuluyan mong iwan
at ang handog ng tagsibol
na bagong pag-asa
ay siya mong yakapin
sa iyong puso.

Kalbaryo
Kalbaryo
kahit sino ay may dala
sa ayaw at sa gusto mo
kahit ikaw ay may dala.
Iyong kalbaryo
kahit ayaw mo
kailangan mong dalhin
sapagkat ito'y sa iyo
at tanging ikaw lamang
ang makadadala.
Kung sakaling ikaw
ay makaramdam ng pagsuko
iyong alalahanin
si Kristong para sa iyo'y
buhay ay inalay
upang kalbaryong
sa Kanya'y iyong bigay
Kanyang madala
