Sabraguita: Toward A Bamboo Ketubah
Based on Yechezkel 37
You
UST Singers of Ha'Filipinim
Ikaw ang bigay ng Maykapal
Tugon sa aking dasal
Upang sa lahat ng panahon
Bawat pagkakataon
Ang ibigin ko'y ikaw
You are the gift granted by G-d
His answer to my prayers
So that forevermore
With every given moment
The one I will love is you
Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo
Kabiyak nitong puso ko
Wala ni kahati mang saglit
Na sa iyo'y may papalit
Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw
You are the light of my soul
Who completes my heart
No one else to share it with
Mine is yours to exchange with
Today and forever, yours
Ang lahat ng aking galaw
Ang sanhi ay ikaw
All that I am {and will be}
The reason is you
Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw
Dahil may isang ikaw
Kulang ang magpakailan man
If, there is a future I can {now} see
It is because of only you
"Eternity" would not suffice
Upang bawat sandali ay
Upang muli't muli ay
For me, to love you each moment
Each moment, eternal
Ang mahalin ay —
The one I will love is —
