Kung hindi man
Language: Tagalog (Filipino)
Irog sandaling dinggin ang aking pagtangis
Irog sandaling tunghan ang humihibik
Kung 'di man nararapat sa iyong dikit
Isang sulyap mo lamang, Aliw na ng dibdib.
Kung saki'y wala nang inilaang paglingap
At ang pagdurusa ko ang siya mong pangarap
Sa isang ngiti mong sa aki'y igawad
Libo mang kamatayan aking tinatanggap.

If not
Language: English after the Tagalog (Filipino)
My love, for a moment, hear my weeping
My love, for a moment, behold my sobbing
If of you, I am unworthy of touch's employ
Then seeing you, a glimpse, is my heart's joy.
If, for me, you have no affection, attention
And if you wish for me to suffer in seclusion
Bestow upon me one of your rare smiles
Along with a thousand deaths, I accept.
