MATUD NILA

Matud nila ako dili angay
Nga magmanggad sa imong gugma
Matud nila ikaw dili malipay
Kay wa akoy bahandi nga kanimo igasa

Gugmang putli mao day pasalig
Maoy bahanding labaw sa bulawan
Matud nila kaanugon lamang
Sa imong gugma ug parayeg

Dili malubad kining pagbati
Bisan sa unsa nga katarungan
Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi
Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan

Ingna ko nga dili ka motuo
Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon
Ingna ko nga dili mo kawangon
Ang damgo ug pagsalig sa gugma mo

Ingna ko nga dili ka motuo
Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon
Ingna ko nga dili mo kawangon
Ang damgo ug pagsalig sa gugma mo

ACCORDING TO THEM

They say that I shouldn't
Wish for your love
They say you will not be happy
For I have no treasure to give you

Pure love is all that I pledge
A treasure more precious than gold
They say that your love and caresses
Would only be wasted on me

This feeling won't fade
Even though that would be justice
Because what else is this life worth
If your love isn't there

Tell me that you won't believe
The insults that they tell about me
Tell me that you won't deny
My dream and faith in your love

Tell me that you won't believe
The insults that they tell about me
Tell me that you won't deny
My dream and faith in your love
