The man speaking in this love poem is addressing someone he is totally in love with. It would be difficult for a woman to listen to this poem and not be moved by his passion.
Kahit Saan
Wherever
Wherever
sa mga daang nilalakaran mo
in the streets you walk upon
damo
grass
puting bulaklak
white flower
nahihiyang tumunghay sa iyo
embarrassed to raise its face towards you
Irog, iya’y ako!
Beloved, that would be me!
Kung may isang ibong
If there is a bird
tuwing takipsilim
whenever night approaches
ikaw’y awitan sa gabing malalim
sing to you in the deep night
isang paruparo ang iyong nakita
a butterfly you see
Iya’y ako, Sinta!
That’s me, Love!
