Lyrics and loose translation
done by Lea...

"I.
-Mula nang makilala ka, aking mahal
From the time I met you, my love

-'Di ako mapalagay
I couldn't keep still

-Sa kakaisip ko sa 'yo
From thinking about you

-Lagi na lang ikaw ang ala-ala ko
You are always in my memories

-Kahit nasaan ka man
No matter where you are

-Larawan mo'y natatanaw
I look at your picture


II.
-Maging sa pagtulong, ay panaginip ka
Even when I sleep, you're in my dreams

-Pagka't ang nais ko sana
Because my wish would be

-Kapiling ka sa t'wina
To hold you all night (I'm not sure what tuwina/t'wina means, so this
is a rough translation)

-Ano ba'ng nakita ng puso kong ito sa 'yo
What did my heart see in you?

-Kapag ika'y kasama
When I'm with you

-Anong ligaya ko, sinta
I'm so happy, my love

CHORUS
-Bakit labis kitang mahal
Why do I love you so much?

-Yakap mo'y di ko malimutan
I can't forget your embrace

-Bakit labis kitang mahal
Why do I love you so much?

-Sumpa man, iniibig kita
I swear, I love you

Filipino songs can get mushy, but they're fun to sing.
