Basta'T Kasama Kita (W/English - 'As Long As You'Re With Me'-) Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

Basta't kasama kita
kahit ulam natin
ay tuyo at talong
sa mundo
ako'y ngingiti.

Basta't kasama kita
maglakad man sa baha
sa gabing madilim
sa buwan
ako'y ngingiti.

Basta't kasama kita
kahit maghapon kang
hindi kikibo
sa iyo
ako'y ngingiti.

Basta't kasama kita
asahan mo
ako'y ngingiti.





english translation
-As Long As You're With Me-

As long as you're with me
even if we only have dried fish
and eggplant for our meal
I will smile to the world.

As long as you're with me
even if we walk in the flood
in the dark night
I will smile to the moon.

As long as you're with me
even if you don't speak any words
the whole day long
I will smile to you.

As long as you're with me
surely,
I will smile.
