kaytagal nang panahong minamahal ay nawala
mahabang panahong ang dibdib ay puno ng luha
nahan kaya sila, anong kanilang ginagawa
sila kaya’y napiit o nabaon na sa lupa

ilitaw na! ilitaw ang mga mahal sa buhay!
kung sakaling patay na’y ilitaw man lang ang bangkay!
upang ligalig paano ma’y pumayapang tunay
sana’y ilitaw na yaong mahal naming nawalay!
