Gugma'ng Giatay [English translation]

I would like for you to become aware

and (for) you to listen,

If, for instance,

you would sneer at

my oaths and pledges...

...and should you ever suddenly leave,

I wouldn't be able to contain this valley of tears,

Because you are my glory,

(someone) I'll recall and yearn for every now and then,

You (are my) heaven and earth,

my beloved.

And then the darkness enveloped

that was accompanied by the rain,

and then (they) suddenly disappeared–

–the rays of the sun...

Oh, the radiance of your face

that has been enslaved by a damned love!

Lass, listen (to)

my destitute love

that, to you, I offer as a gift...

I may not be able to give (you) all the treasures

of this earth...

but, Lass, please hear out

this unfortunate fellow that has been enslaved

by a damned love.
