Ulan (Rain)

Salamat sa ulan, naalala nanaman kita.
Pero ang mga alaala mo ay hindi na tulad ng dati.

Hindi ko na puwedeng balikan ang iyong anyong
inakala ko'y isang anghel

na magtatanggol sakin
na magmamahal sa akin
na yayakap sa akin
na alam kong ako lang ang yayakapin mo...

Gusto ko ulit maranasan ang istorya natin
Pero parang ipinaramdam mo lang iyon sakin
para sa iyong pansariling aliw

Sana tinuruan mo ang sarili mong mahalin ako
Ngunit pinili mo ang makasariling uhaw

At lumalabas na parang basahan lang ako
sa paningin mo
Na bale-walang tinapak-tapakan
at itapon sa labas ng silid mo.

Sinayang ko nga ang oras ko
ang pera ko
ang pawis ko
mga luha ko
ang pag-ibig ko para sa'yo.

Pero sana kahit papaano
ang mga inalay ko sayo ay naging ligaya
sa kaluluwa mo.
Sana naramdaman mong mayroon palang
taong natutong mahalin ka kung sino ka

Sana ikaw na lang ang iyakin
at ako na lang ang manhid.

Nang maranasan mo kung ano ang pakiramdam
ng pagbigay ng taus-pusong pagmamahal

Ngunit binayaran ng kasinungalingan
at pagtataksil.

















Thanks to the rain, and the memories
of you rebounded.
But those reminiscence will never be the same.

I can never return to your image which I
thought was an angel

who would protect me
who would love me
who would embrace me
and believed I would only be the one in your arms

I want to experience our story once again
But it seemed that you only gave me those affairs
for your selfish desires

And it appears I am but a dirty old rag
in your eyes
which you stomped with your feet
and threw outside your room.

Indeed I wasted much of my time
my money
my sweat
my tears
my endearing love for you.

But I hope in some little chances
these offers gave so much joy to
your soul.
How I wish you'd even felt that
there was someone
who truly loved you for who you are

How I wish you would be the broken
and that I would be the numb.

So that you'd feel how it means to
devote pure love

but was repaid with lies and betrayal.
