Lyrics and translation Jody - Dance With My Father

Dance With My Father

Nung ako'y bata pa
Nang iwan ako ng aking ama
Mata'y lumuluha na (lumuluha ang mata)
Di kaya ni nanay ng iwan nya
Sakin ay may bumulong
Sabi ni tatay na wag iiyak
Malungkot ako aking ama

Kung may pagkakataon na mayakap sya
At masabi ko na mahal kita ama
Awiting to ay alay ko sayo
Mahal na mahal, mahal kita o aking ama
Ako at si nanay, iniisip ka
Sa panaginip nalang tayo nagkikita
Kulitan natin dati
Mga alaala mo nung kasama ka
Haplos na galing sayo
Mga payo na tinuro mo
Di malilimutan aking ama

Kung may pagkakataon na mayakap sya
At masabi ko na mahal kita ama
Awiting to ay alay ko sayo
Mahal na mahal, mahal kita o aking ama
Gumuho ang pangako pangarap ay napako
Hindi rin madali na kalungkutan ay itago
Lahat naman ng bagay ay merong katapusan
At meron kang pagsubok na kailangang lagpasan
Ang makasama ka binuhay mo ko ay bigay ng Diyos
Alaala na iniwan mo ay di magatatapos
Dahil mayrong isang awitin na likha ng iyong anak
At mayrong isang anak pangakong di na iiyak (pangakong di na iiyak)

Kung may pagkakataon na mayakap sya
At masabi ko na mahal kita ama
Awiting to ay alay ko sayo
Mahal na mahal, mahal kita o aking ama

Dance With My Father

When I was a child
When my father left me
My eyes filled with tears (tears filled my eyes)
My mother couldn't bear to leave him
Someone whispered to me
My father said, don't cry
I'm sad, my father

If I had the chance to hold you in my arms
And tell you that I love you, father
This song is dedicated to you
I love you very much, I love you, my father
My mother and I think of you
We only see each other in our dreams
Our old jokes
The memories of when you were with us
Your gentle touch
The advice you gave me
I'll never forget, my father

If I had the chance to hold you in my arms
And tell you that I love you, father
This song is dedicated to you
I love you very much, I love you, my father
Promises were broken, dreams were shattered
It wasn't easy to hide my sadness
All things must come to an end
And there are trials you must overcome
Being with you, you gave me life
The memories you left behind will never end
Because there is a song written by your child
And there is a child who promises not to cry (promises not to cry)

If I had the chance to hold you in my arms
And tell you that I love you, father
This song is dedicated to you
I love you very much, I love you, my father
