CANTA PARA KANMO

By Danny Sillada

Panalingahi da yang kanak canta

Sin-ing duŏm ng kanak harana
Sin-o man ngawon yang makadungog
Yang kasing-kasing ko dili masipog.

Malawom man yang kanmo pag-tuog

Baktason ko yang mga panganod,
Ngadto sang hangin ako mo-anod
Sang mga damgo mo ako mo-suõd…

Kay yang harana ng kanak gugma

Sang kanmo mga damgo mobuwa,
Matam-is kung mga sonata
Mohangkop sang kanmo pagmata…

Mosawop man mosubang yang buwan

Yang canta ko kanmo way utlanan,
Ma-temprano man ngini madoūm
Ikaw perme yang kanak ihandum…
A Song for You
(English translation)

Please listen to my song

in this evening of my serenade,
my heart will not be ashamed
whoever listens to its melody?

However deep is your deep slumber,

I will traverse onto the clouds,
glide among the winds,
and sneak in to your thoughts.

Because the serenade of my love

will cradle your dreams;
my sweet, gentle melody
will embrace you when you wake up.

The moon may ascend or descend

but my music will never end
from morning till evening,
my heart will keep on singing…
