(Verse 1 - English)
Morning haze hanging low on the pines
Tracing out these property lines
The diesel engine just hums in the heat
But my rhythm is missing a beat
Ten acres of clay waiting under my boot
Everything here takes a while to take root.
Every shovel of earth, every camera I place
I’m just looking for signs of your beautiful face.
(Chorus - English/Tagalog)
I’ve got so much love for you, mahal ko
Nandito lang ako, naghihintay sa’yo
Through the silence and the space, I’m holding on tight
Ikaw ang aking mundo, ikaw ang aking langit
I’ve got so much love, it’s building every wall
I’m ready to catch you, Jhea, if you ever fall.
(Verse 2 - English/Tagalog)
Walking the perimeter, thinking of us
Beneath the Florida sun and the orange dust
Naaalala ko ang iyong mga ngiti (I remember your smiles)
Sa bawat sandali, ika'y minimithi (In every moment, I long for you)
The houses are rising, the foundations are set
But without you here, the dream’s not finished yet
I’m building a fortress, a place we can stay
Hinding-hindi kita bibitawan, hinding-hindi (I will never let you go, never).
(Bridge - English)
They tell me to focus, they tell me to work
But memories of you are the shadows that lurk
In the cab of the truck, in the songs that I write
I’m fighting for us with all of my might.
(Chorus - Tagalog/English)
I’ve got so much love for you, mahal ko
Nandito lang ako, naghihintay sa’yo
Through the silence and the space, I’m holding on tight
Ikaw ang aking mundo, ikaw ang aking langit
I’ve got so much love, it’s building every wall
I’m ready to catch you, Jhea, if you ever fall.
(Outro - Tagalog/English)
Magkakasama muli. (Together again.)
So much love.
Pangako sa'yo. (A promise to you.)
Still here on the land.
Still waiting for you.
