Umaga na. 
Umaga na, nag-aawitan ang ibon sa parang, 
Ang kasawian ko'y pinag-uusapan. 
Ay! wala na, Ay! wala na Alas! 
Hanggang umaga'y ayaw ka pang manungaw. 

Paalam na Irog, 
Paalam na Irog kung di man iniibig 
Nang nabubuhay pa ang bangkay ko man lamang 
kaawaan mo na. 

Ako'y paalam na, ako'y paalam na. 
Hindi ko malaman ang patutunguhan. 
Ako na'y paalam, ako na'y paalam. 
Hindi ko malaman ang patutunguhan kung ako ay daratal 

Sa luksang libingan kung ako ay daratal, 
Sa luksang libingan kung di na magbalik 
Iyong ipalagay na ako'y wala na. 
Paalam, paalam.

Testament

Language: English after the Tagalog (Filipino)

Morning has come.
Morning has come, birdsong has filled the plains
They speak of my despair.
'Tis gone, alas, 'tis gone.
As the morning lasts, you will not surface.

Farewell, My Love.
Farewell, Heart's Desire whose heart loves me not.
As I live, I am dead; may you find pity in
my lifelessness.

Goodbye, I am Farewell itself.
I know not where to go.
I now bid farewell, I am now Farewell,
I know not where I go, nor if I shall arrive.

If I should come upon my grave,
And from my grave I shall not return,
You must believe that I am no more.
Farewell, farewell.
