Paroles et traduction Noel Cabangon - Kanlungan

Kanlungan

Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Natatandaan mo pa ba
Nang tayong dal'wa ang unang nagkita?
Panahon ng kamusmusan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
Doon tayong nagsimulang
Mangarap at tumula

Natatandaan mo pa ba
Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga?
At ang inalay kong gumamela
Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
Malayang tulad ng mga ibon
Ang gunita ng ating kahapon

Ang mga puno't halaman
Ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Bakit kailangan ding lumisan?
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Ngayong ikaw ay nagbalik
At tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
Makita ang dating kanlungan
Tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
Ngayon ay naglaho na
Saan hahanapin pa?

Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan?
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan?
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Shelter

Anytime is a good time
Can past be brought back?

Do you still remember
When we first met?
Times of innocence
Amidst flowers and plants
There we began to
Dream and make poems

Do you still remember
The heart I carved on the mango tree?
And the gumamela I offered?
Hand in hand on the beach
Free as birds
The memories of our past

The trees and plants
Are witnesses of our memories
As time passes by
Why did we have to leave?
Anytime is a good time
Can past be brought back?

Now that you're back
And you're longing for it just like me
To see our old shelter
Home of our poems and dreams
Now it's gone
Where else can we find it?

Time goes by
Witness of our memories
The trees and plants
Why did we have to leave?
Anytime is a good time
Can past be brought back?

Time goes by
Witness of our memories
The trees and plants
Why did we have to leave?
Anytime is a good time
Can past be brought back?
