Текст и перевод песни Martin Luther - Ms. America

Ms. America

Noong ako'y bata pa
Ng iwan ako nang aking ama
Matay lumuluha na
Di kaya ng iwang niya
Sakin ay may bumulong
Sabi ni tatay na wag iiyak
Malungkot ako
Aking ama
Kung may pagkaka taon
Na mayakap siya
At masabi ko na mahal kita ama
Awitin ko ay alay ko sa'yo
Mahal na mahal
Mahal kita oh aking ama
Ako at si nanay iniisip ka
Sa panaginip na lang tayo nag kikita
Kulitan natin dati
Mga ala-ala mo nung kasama ka
Haplos na galing sa'yo
Mga payo na tinuro mo
Di malilimutan aking ama
Kung may pagkak taon na
Na mayakap siya at masabi ko
Na mahal kita ama
Awitin ko'y alay ko sa'yo
Mahal na mahal
Mahal kita oh 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 ako
Ay bigay ng diyos
Ala-ala na iniwan mo ay hindi
Magtatapos
Dahil may isang awitin na likha
Ng iyong anak
At merong kang anak
Pangakong dina iiyak

Ms. America

My beautiful baby girl
When your daddy left, I didn't understand
I cried for you, my little one
I didn't know how I would go on
But then I heard a whisper
Your daddy said, "Don't you cry, my darling"
I'm so sad, my little one
Your daddy
If I had just one chance to hold him
And tell him how much I love him
I would sing him this song
My precious little girl
I love you more than words can say
My little girl, I miss you so
Your mommy and I think about you every day
We see you in our dreams
I remember all the fun we had
The memories of you
The way you used to touch me
The way you used to talk to me
I'll never forget you, my little one
If I had just one chance to hold you
And tell you how much I love you
My little girl
I would sing you this song
My precious little girl
I love you more than words can say
The promises we made
The dreams we had
It's not easy to hide the pain
But I have to
Everything comes to an end
And I have to move on
They say time heals all wounds
But I don't know if that's true
You were my everything
My reason for living
The memories you left me
Will never fade
Because I have this song
That I wrote for you
And you have me
A promise to never forget
