J.M. Española

Sabi ng puso ko’y mahal daw kita.
Sabi ng isip ko’y huwag daw maniniwala.
Sabi nila ang dami-dami diyang iba,
Sa dami ng tao, bakit daw ikaw pa?
...

Nakakabwisit man ang mundo,
Ang sakit man ng problema sa ulo,
Mahirap mang isiping may iba n siyang gusto,
Kailangan mo pa ding haraping lhat ay nagbabago...
...

Sa di-inaasahang pagkakataon,
Dalawang mundo ang nagbunggo.
Umabot nga sa di-kalauna'y,
Puso naman nila ang nagtagpo
...

Naghihintay, nagaabang, sa taong ito,
Sa taong mamahalin nitong puso ko.
Naghihintay, nagaabang, ngunit sabi ng utak ko,
Pumili na lang ng taong nasa paligid ko.
...

I dreamed of love and hate combined
and wished that only love were mine,
but then again, how wrong i was,
for one cannot be where the other is not.
...

I am a blue butterfly,
With wings that flutter well,
Yet I’m alone, can't reach the sky
Cause in this bottle I must dwell.
...

No words can express the longing I feel,
The feeling of emptiness that’s here in me still.
Where can I go? What should I do?
Why is it that, more than ever, my heart still wants you?
...

Your eyes bore deeply into mine
And I knew that my soul is lost
I cannot feel the tick of time
Whenever our paths cross…
...

Mahal kita, alam mo ba?
Ayos lang sa kin kung may iba ka.
Hindi ko naman plano na manggulo.
Gusto ko lang talaga sabihin 'to sayo.
...

Every morning, every night,
It's You oh Lord who hears my plight.
When darkness looms and nothing's right,
It's You oh Lord, who gives me light.
...

Mahirap kalimutan ang nkaraan,
lahat ng ala-ala ng inyong pinagsamahan.
Magkhalong ligaya sa gitna ng sakit,
bumabalik palagi sa twing ikaý pipikit.
...

Journey through rhymes of space and time,
Under the pale blue moon, we shine,
Delving into the thoughts of each, and
Ending the night with a kiss to your cheek.
...

How unfortunate that you can never love me back,
So now I'm alone in this grim world again;
But I believe it's your loss, not mine,
when you spited my heart, so freely given.
...

I’m tired of hiding in the shadows,
Where there stay the vultures and ravens and crows
But can it be that there in the shadows,
Is where my only happiness in this world grows?
...

When is it good to say goodbye?
When you can’t even notice how time can fly?
When will you be able to say,
How easy it is to let him go away?
...

i dont mind, i dont care,
no i don't think life is that fair..
I can't see, i can't feel,
no, these wounds take time to heal..
...

I dream of a better Philippines,
With her wide plains and fields,
Yet poverty had ravaged the land,
For power had fallen into covetous hands
...

When can we say its right to love?
Who to love and how to love?
What measurement is used to say,
If one should go and one should stay?
...

I dreamed of love that never dies,
Of love that needs the truth, not lies.
A love so strong it binds the air,
A love that's brave as well as it's fair.
...

If I'd live a life without you I'll never make it through,
Now i know fate is not that blind when it made me meet you.
Eleven days and seven months were all it ever took,
For you to turn me upside down and now, to you, I'm hooked!
...
