pagbabalik [English translation]

Amidst the dark

I have witnessed

A light so dim

I almost could not see

Help me

Find the way

For I am longing

For my motherland

CHORUS

My country, where are you?

I am all alone

I yearn to come back

To you, my country

Forgive me

If I have been misguided

In the path that I

Have taken

In the rise of the sun

Until nightfall

The cold wind

Is what I embrace

I hope the path I am trekking

Would not be hindered

For I yearn to come back

To my motherland
