Текст и перевод песни Pilita Corrales - Handog

Handog

Parang kailan lang
Ang mga pangarap ko'y kay hirap abutin
Dahil sa inyo
Napunta ako sa aking nais marating
Nais ko kayong pasalamatan kahit man lamang isang awitin

Parang kailan lang
Halos ako ay magpalimos sa lansangan
Dahil sa inyo
Ang aking tiyan at ang bulsa'y nagkakalaman
Kaya't itong awiting aking inaawit nais kong kayo ang handugan

Tatanda at lilipas din ako
Nguni't mayro'ng awiting
Iiwanan sa inyong ala-ala
Dahil, minsan, tayo'y nagkasama

Parang kailan lang
Ang mga awitin ko ay ayaw pakinggan
Dahil sa inyo
Narinig ang ang isip ko at naintindihan
Dahil dito'y nais ko kayong ituring na matalik kong kaibigan

Tatanda at lilipas rin ako
Nguni't mayro'ng awiting
Iiwanan sa inyong ala-ala
Dahil, minsan, tayo'y nagkasama

Tatanda at lilipas rin ako
Nguni't mayro'ng awiting
Iiwanan sa inyong ala-ala
Dahil, minsan, tayo'y nagkasama

Gift

It seems like only yesterday
My dreams were so hard to reach
Because of you
I got to where I wanted to be
I want to thank you, even if it's just with a song

It seems like only yesterday
I was almost begging in the streets
Because of you
My stomach and my pockets are full
So this song that I'm singing, I want to dedicate to you

I will also grow old and pass away
But there is a song
That will be left in your memory
Because, once, we were together

It seems like only yesterday
My songs were not wanted to be heard
Because of you
My mind was heard and understood
Because of this, I want to consider you as my close friend

I will also grow old and pass away
But there is a song
That will be left in your memory
Because, once, we were together

I will also grow old and pass away
But there is a song
That will be left in your memory
Because, once, we were together
