Parang kailan lang, mga panahon na nagdaan…
kaagapay, kausap at kapiling ka,
Sa isang iglap, ni anino mong nababanaag
nagpumiglas upang ako’y lisanin.

(It seems they were just here, moments that have passed…
you were my helpmate, confidante and companion,
In a flash, even your faint shadow
struggled to escape me.)
