Tula ng Pag-ibig (Poem of Love)

Tagalog/English translation

Aking Sinta

Mahal kita aking sinta

Sa araw at gabi nakikita kita

Salamat sa umaga ganda mo

Tanaw ko tuwina.

O aking hirang

Sa bundok man o parang

Dama ko pag-ibig mo

Sa puso ko iingatan.

Alam kong pangako mo

Di mo ako iiwan

Iingatan mandin itong aking buhay

Iaalay sa akin iyong buhay.

Kaya naman sa isip at puso ko

Mga salita mo aking itatanim

Aalagaan at pagyayamanin

Upang sumpaan natin laging magkapiling .

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

My Love

I love you my dear

Day and night I see you

Thanks in the morning I see

Your beauty always.

O my dear

On the mountain or plain

The love that I feel

I will keep in my heart.

I know your promise to me

You will not leave me

You will take care of my life

You will offer your life to me.

That’s why in my mind and heart

Your words I will plant

These I will take care and nourish

Then our union will be forever.
