SA MATAG PITIK NING DUGHAN

O akong gugma duol kanako,
Hubga ako sa parayeg mo.

Sa matag pitik ning dughan
gihalaran ko ikaw

Lawas ko ug king kalag,
ang tanan imo gayud.

Samtang may kahayag pa ang adlaw
magpabilin king gugma ko
Kamatayon da ang makasanta
niining gugma nga gibati ko.

Lawas ko ug king kalag, 

ang tanan imo gayud.

Samtang may kahayag pa ang adlaw

magpabilin king gugma ko

Kamatayon da ang makasanta

niining gugma nga gibati ko.

I used to hear this song when I was younger. The most beautiful song I've heard in my whole life that makes me cry everytime I hear it. Especially when The Rosagarans sing it. They are composed of (Mama Josie, Mama Didith, Auntie Ester, Uncle Sammy, Uncle Yoyong, Auntie Malen, Mommy Helen, Uncle Rene and Auntie Wency) my mother and her sisters and brothers. So I hear the song everytime we have a family reunion because some of them live far from home. I love this song. It makes me think of happy memories. It makes me get through the sorrows of life. It's like a medicine to the soul. And I love it most because it signifies the tight bond of our family, it signifies love. And today, I'd like to dedicate this to my Lola Young. "I love you, La with every beat of my heart. And I will love you as long as forever."


The direct translation of the title of the song is "In Every Beat of This Heart." It's a love song, a Visayan love song. :)
