O, Ilaw!
Danilo Santos
O, Ilaw sa gabing malamig
Wangis mo'y bituin sa langit
O, tanglaw sa gabing tahimik
Larawan mo Neneng nagbigay pasakit.
Ay!
Gising at magbangon sa pagkagupiling
sa pagkakatulog na lubhang mahimbing.
Buksan ang bintana at ako'y dungawin,
nang mapagtanto mo ang tunay kong pagdaing.
O, Ilaw!
(Oh, Light!)
O, Ilaw sa gabing malamig
(Oh, Light in a cold night)
Wangis mo'y bituin sa langit.
(You resemble the stars of the sky.)
O, tanglaw sa gabing tahimik
(Oh, you're the Light of the silent [peaceful] night.)
Larawan mo Neneng nagbigay pasakit. Ay!
(Your photograph, my Beloved [Neneng is a term of endearment]
gives so much misery. Ay!)
Gising at magbangon sa pagkagupiling
(Wake up and arise from suffering)
sa pagkakatulog na lubhang mahimbing.
(from your deep slumber [a lingering restful sleep])
Buksan ang bintana at ako'y dungawin,
Open your window [done during a serenade] and look out on me,)
nang mapagtanto mo ang tunay kong pagdaing.
(so you can reflect on my lamentation.)
[Lamentation is the passionate expression of grief]
O, Ilaw!
English Translation by MLG
Oh, Light in a cold night,
you resemble the stars of the sky.
Oh, you're the Light of the silent [peaceful] night.
Your photograph, my Beloved gives so much misery. Ay!
[Neneng is a term of endearment hence the use of Beloved]
Wake up and arise from suffering,
from your deep slumber
[Mahimbing is a deep sleep or slumber]
[Lubhang mahimbing is a lingering restful sleep]
Open your window [done during a serenade] and look out that window,
so you can reflect on my lamentation.
[Lamentation is the passionate expression of grief]
