Mahal

Mahal, pag-ibig mo ang tanging lunas sa lahat ng sakit at paghihirap; sugat at lungkot sa aking buhay tila walang katapusan. Ikaw ang daan, aking liwanag, tungo sa bukas na sumisikat; at kung tulutan ika'y mahalin, iyong-iyo ang puso ko, irog, mahal ka sa akin. Mundo ma'y magunaw, walang bahid ng takot - dusa't pait susuungin ko, basta't kapiling ang mahal - ikaw. Ikaw ang daan, aking liwanag, tungo sa bukas na sumisikat; at kung tulutan ika'y mahalin, iyong-iyo ang puso ko, irog, mahal ka sa akin.

Salamat, Nikko. I put it here on Soup just for repository purposes and nothing else; after all, I don't expect them people to understand Tagalog. That you stumbled upon it is a surprise. Actually this is a song, complete with words and music, I'm still trying to find a publisher. Kumusta diyan sa Pilipinas. Regards, Fred

Hi Wilfredo :) Wow. I stumbled upon this in trying to do a search on "luna" & this write of yours came up-- I had to smile when I saw this Tagalog poem here :) -- this sure is very romantic-- I enjoyed reading this poem of yours -- I've only recently tried to write in Tagalog (how ironic for me) but this one is truly beautiful-- maganda talaga wika natin 'no? -- nikko :)
