Ikaw lamang ang aking iibigin
Magpakailanman
Ang pag-ibig ko sa 'yo ay tunay
Nais ko sanang patunayan
Huwag ka nang mag-alinlangan
Ang pag-ibig ko'y hindi kukupas
Tulad din ng umaga
May pag-asang sumisikat
Chorus:
Ang ating buhay
Maikli aking hirang
Kung kaya't kailangan ng pagsuyong wagas
Kailanman
Ang sumpa ko sa iyo'y asahan
Ikaw lamang ang aking iibigin mapakailanman
Chorus:
Ang ating buhay
Maikli aking hirang
Kung kaya't kailangan ng pagsuyong wagas
Kailanman
Ang sumpa ko sa iyo'y asahan
Ikaw lamang ang aking iibigin
Magpakailanman
