Translation of the song Maalaala Mo Kaya artist Pilita Corrales

Huwag mong sabihing ikaw'y hamak

don’t say that you feel you're not worthy

kahit na isang mahirap,

or that you are meek or you're poor

Pagka't ang tangi kong pagibig

in fact my only love has figured

ganyan ang hinahanap.

you are what I'm looking for

Aanhin ko ang kayamanan

what use do I have of treasures

kung ang puso'y salawahan,

my heart cannot even decide

Nais ko'y pagibig na tunay

I wish for a true love that's lasting

at walang kamatayan.

a love that will never die

Koro:

chorus

Maalaala mo kaya

I hope you still can recall

ang sumpa mo sa akin,

the promise that you have made

Na ang pagibig mo ay

that there is no reason why

sadyang di magmamaliw.

your feelings could ever fade

Kung nais mong matanto,

if you still want to ensure

buksan ang aking puso

then simply open my heart

At tanging larawan mo

the thing you'll find hidden there

ang doo'y nakatago.

is only your photograph

Di ka kaya magbago

I hope that you'll never change

sa iyong pagmamahal?

in the love that you give

Hinding-hindi giliw ko

I'll never do that, my dear

hanggang sa libingan

for as long as I live

O. kay sarap mabuhay

how sweet it is to enjoy

lalo na't may lambingan

your tenderness every day

Ligaya sa puso ko

I feel a joy in my heart

ay di na mapaparam.

A joy that won't fade away
