Bugambilya
Hugis ng pananabik
Ang namumulaklak sa panimula
Ng isang panahon kung san nais kong umalis
Ibig kong maibalik
Lahat ng pangako at muni muni
Ng ating pagsama noong malamig pa ang gabi
Paano naman ako?
Lahat ay sinugal para dito
'Di ko na kaya ang ika'y antayin
Sa aking paglisan, ay paumanhin
Ang dilim sa balete sana iyong makita
Na ako'y tinadhana sa bugambilya
Ako'y dinala sa tabindagat ng halikan ng alon'g aking mga paa
At muling bumalik sa itinadhanang pag ibig
At sa aking pagdayo'y ako'y napadpad
Sa piling ng mayon kung san nalilimutan
Lahat ng sakit tuwing ka-balse ang araw
Paano naman ito?
Wala nang ipagpapalit para dito
Malaki ang hakbang ng aking pagpasya
Pangako, hindi ka na luluha pa
Ako na ang bahala sa iyong pagkalaya
Iyan ang sabi sa akin ng bugambilya
Mary had a lover then
He went out to sail again
And when he left her dead and gone
She had nothing to hold on
Mary wants to run away
She no longer wants to stay
Girls like her wait in the dark
For someone who will save her heart
Hugis ng pananabik
Ang namumulaklak sa
Panimula ng isang panahon
Kung san nais kong umalis
Bougainvillea
The shape of longing
Blooms at the start
Of a time when I want to leave
I want to bring back
All the promises and memories
Of our time together when the nights were still cold
What about me?
I’ve risked everything for this
I can’t wait for you anymore
As I leave, I’m sorry
I hope you see the darkness in the balete tree
That I’m destined for the bougainvillea
I was taken to the seaside where the waves kissed my feet
And I returned to the love that was meant for me
And in my journey, I found myself
In the embrace of the volcano where I forget
All the pain whenever the sun sets
What about this?
There’s nothing I’d trade for this
My decision is a big step
I promise, you won’t cry anymore
I’ll take care of your freedom
That’s what the bougainvillea told me
Mary had a lover then

And when he left her dead and gone
She had nothing to hold on
Mary wants to run away
She no longer wants to stay
Girls like her wait in the dark
For someone who will save her heart
The shape of longing
Blooms at the
Start of a time
When I want to leave
