Bituing Marikit

Language: Tagalog (Filipino)

Our translations: ENG

Bituing marikit sa gabi ng buhay 
Ang bawat kislap mo’y ligaya ang taglay 
Yaring aking palad iyong patnubayan 
At kahit na sinag ako’y bahaginan. 

Natanim sa puso ko yaong isang pag-ibig 
Na pinakasasamba sa loob ng dibdib 
Sa iyong luningning laging nasasabik 
Ikaw ang pangarap Bituing marikit. 

Lapitan mo ako, halina bituin 
Ating pag-isahin ang mga damdamin 
Ang sabik kong diwa’y huwag mong uhawin 
Sa batis ng iyong wagas na pag-giliw.

Beautiful Star

Language: English after the Tagalog (Filipino)

Beautiful Star, in the Night of Life
With each glimmer, you herald great joy
Guide my humbly proffered hands
And even the slightest of beams, grant me.

Contained in my heart, is a Love who thrives
In my heart is your shrine, you are worshipped within
I am filled with anticipation for but a gleam from you
You are my hopeful reverie, Beautiful Star

Come to me, please, my Star
Hold close our love, let us become one
Let not my eager heart thirst
By the eternal stream of your love.
