Himutok!
Language: Tagalog (Filipino)
Available translation(s): ENG
Dibdib ko’y tumanggap ng matinding sakit
Sanhi sa pagsinta’t wagas na pag-ibig
Puso ko’y lunod na sa dagsa ng hapis
Saan kukuha pa ng pagtitiis?
Gayon iyong alam na wala nang lunas
Sa hirap kong ito kung ‘di ang iyong habag
Ano’t natutuwang iyo pangmamalas
Mga mapapait na luhang nanatak!
O, giliw ko’t aking mutya,
nasaan ang iyong awa?
Di na makaya pang bathin
ang dulot mong hilahil;
Bigyan mo ng pag-asa,
pusong sumisinta!

Song of distress
Language: English  after the Tagalog (Filipino)
My heart has been dealt a heavy blow
Because I loved freely, wholly, entirely
My heart is drowning in the crushing waves of brokenness
From where shall my strength to bear it all come?
You know that the only cure to this,
My suffering, is your compassion.
And yet you remain unaffected, delighted.
Oh, the bitterness of my falling tears!
Oh, my Beloved, Maiden of my Heart
Where is your mercy?
I can no longer suffer through
The anguish that you put me through;
Console me by giving hope to this,
My heart, who knows only to love you.
