Whisper (Bulong)
Breeze
Breeze
Whisper
Your whisper is as soft as the breeze
It leaves a tingling sensation, a caress
Your pitfall, draw me like an abyss
A void, we can’t escape, my heart’s a mess
Oceans keep as apart, you’re miles away
I can’t escape, can’t help but be lonely
This heart feels nothing but worry
Oftentimes, I feel so weary
Yet as I gaze at the stars,
And think of the multitude of scars
This heart has boldly taken
And long dreamed to be awaken
One day, when I’ll open my eyes and see
There is no face I want to behold
The days and distance are nothing untold
If only, you’ll be here beside me
In order to wipe away these tears
That is coursing through my fears
And once again, I’ll hear you whisper
My love, I will always be HERE…
(Filipino Translation)
BULONG
Napakalamyos ng iyong bulong
Lumikha ng banayad na ugong
Ngunit ang mahirap, nasa malayo ka
Puso ko’y laging nangungulila
Karagatan, kabundukan nasa ating pagitan
At ako’y nabahid ng kalungkutan
At sa puso maiwasanang mangamba
Nakakapagod kaya ang mag isa
Ngunit ng tingalain mga bituin sa langit
Mga pasakit sa buhay iwaksing pilit
Itong abang katawan walang takot humarap
Kaya hindi maiwasang sa aking pagising mangarap
Isang araw, sa aking pagdilat
Walang ibang mukha makita sa aking pagmulat
Ang pagitan natin ay mapaparam
Kung ikaw andito, mawala lahat ng agam – agam
Pahirin mo sana aking mga luha
Patuloy na dumadaloy dahil sa nangamba
Sana minsan aking mapakinggan
Sabihin mo sa akin, hindi mo ako iiwan…

thank you dana for the inspiring words...
Every time I publish a hub I wait impatiently for your comments. And then I had a thought (for once in my life): I should comment on your hubs.
What is the Fillipino language based on? It is very beautiful, reminds me of Hawaiian, or Indonesian, which would make sense.
"Yet as I gaze at the stars,
And think of the multitude of scars
This heart has boldly taken
And long dreamed to be awaken"
This is such a beautiful line. It brings memories of a multitude of emotions from long ago.
Thanks for a beautiful hub raciniwa.
