Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isipin mong may karamay ka
Tulad ng araw at gabi ay magkasama
Ika'y hindi mag-iisa
Laging ikaw ang tanging laman ng aking isipan
Sa piling mo, damdamin mo ay kaligayahan
Naririto ang puso ko sa 'yo ay alay
Magpakailanman ikaw ay iibigin at aamuhin
Habang panahon ika'y mamahalin
Aking dalangin tayo'y laging pagpalain
Ganyan kita mamahalin
Laging ikaw ang tanging laman ng aking isipan
Sa piling mo, damdamin ko ay kaligayahan
Naririto ang puso ko sa 'yo ay alay
Nangangako nagmamahal ng tunay laging ikaw
Laging ikaw ang tanging laman ng aking isipan
Sa piling mo, damdamin ko ay kaligayahan
Naririto ang puso ko sa 'yo ay alay
Nangangako nagmamahal ng tunay laging ikaw
Ooh, laging ikaw
