One day I walked inside your house
And opened up my heart
Deep inside I asked you Lord
To answer this my question
You today remain with us
I see you now before me
But my mother whom I long for
How can she be with me
O Maria, aming inang minamahal
Gabay ng sanlibutan
Kalakbay ko saan man
Aking pagnasa
Maging katulad mo Inay
Pusong nagpapakumbaba
Buhay mo'y gagayahin ko
In the silence that remained within
I waited for an answer
In my nothingness oh Lord
It seemed that you were saying
She must live, my child in you
Your life must be the sign
That she remains so close to all
Within the hearts that love
Aking hangad
Idulot sa yo lahat
Sa iyo lamang ako
Nasa ko'y maging tapat sa yo
Bawat kong hinga
Dasal sa banal kong ina
Ako'y abang nilalang
Tanggapin mo, O Maria
Yes, she must live, my child in you
Your life must be the sign
That she remains so close to all
Within the hearts that love, that love, that love, that love.
