Magellan and Immortal Love

At this harbor, I'm welcoming you as the moon in the middle of the mist Even Victoria’s keel [1] takes some tears back home, the southern voices All I want is thee unbinding hair stack pieces But you said, “Something happened with Captain Magellan indeed” Therefore I am that Lapu-Lapu [2]: Adventurer killer Because love is fatherland I stand up for, until I wither And a waiting has become grave for days in suffer So are you: a poem I’ve wrote with tears "Love is immortal," thou say to the tides at foreshore Like a solitude staying at heart, never leave for sure And we are the dawn body missing sunrise in pure But I very sure that love is giving and never taking So battle in Mactan [3] I heard as usual sad story telling Then anchor’s elevated, another journey is begin. [1] Sailing Ship of Magellan [2] Tribe which winning a battle of Mactan from coalition army between Datu Zula and Magellan. [3] A little isle in Philippines. Near from Cebu Island.
