Sa hihip ng hangin

Magkalayo man . . .
laging magkapiling. . .

pangalan ko lamang
ay iyong sambitin
ipadadala . . .
sa hihip ng hangin.

ang iyong halik
ay makakamit . . .
sa iglap na pagpikit.

pangalan mo'y sasambitin . . .
at halik ko'y kamtin,
ipadadala . . .
sa hihip ng hangin.

(though apart . . .
always been together.

just whisper my name
and i'll hear it sublime . . .

i'll just close my eyes
the taste of your lips will be mine.

i'll whisper your name,
and receive my kiss
i'll send it . . .
with the wings of the wind.)
