Irish Susa
Hindi ko alam
Kung ano ang iyong nakikita
Sa kasimplehan at kagandahan nya
Sa mga maiitim na ulap
Sa ibabaw ng dagat
Tinatakpan ang bughaw na kalangitan
Na aking hinahangaan
At sa pag ihip ng hangin
Na pumupunta sa akin
Lamig at init aking nararamdaman
At ito ay yumayakap sa aking katawan
Ang hangin na galing sa karagatan
Ang mga halaman ay pinaglalaruan
At sa kaduluan ng dagat
Isang bahaghari
Ay ngapakita sa aking harapan
Kaygandang mabuhay
Sa mundong ibabaw
Simple pero may bukas na tinatanaw
Sa mga paghihirap na kinahaharapan
Isang araw,
Tayo ay maglalayag muli
Sa napakahabang karagatan.
I don’t know what you can see
In this simplicity & beauty
With the dark clouds
Over the deepest sea
Covering the blue sky
That I admire thee
With the blow of the wind
That is coming through me
Feeling it’s cold & warm
That is embracing me
Breathing the air
That is coming from the sea
Waving the leaves
Of the nearest tree
At the end of the endless sea
It is a rainbow that is showing in me
It’s so good to live with this life truly
So simple but with hope
At every end of the worries
That we are experiencing thee
And go on to sail again
In the endless beauty of the sea
