Though art the pride of all Malay
We thy sons and daughters be
Always ready all to say
Lead us all to bright prosperity
And we'll follow thee all the way
Bringing all thy wisdom and thy glory
Wherever we shall be

Forward all! Forward all!
We march toward the goal
Lead us all! Lead us all!
To gain the best of all
ARANETA! ARANETA!

Kaya Hindi Naging Tayo

Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo

Dahil mundo natin ay nag krus sa maling pagkakataon
Kung saan ikaw at ako lang ang meron
At walang magiging tayo

Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo
Dahil hindi ako ang mag papasaya sayo
Dito sa mapait at magulong mundo
Hindi ako ang napili para sayo

Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo
Dahil hindi ako ang tamang tao
Na hahawak sa mga kamay mo
Sa bawat araw ng buhay mo

Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo
Dahil maling yugto tayo nag tagpo
Sa panahong hindi sapat na mahal kita
At panalangin't pangarap ko

Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo
Dahil hindi ako ang nakalaan para sayo
Na sa istoryang isinulat para sayo
Hindi ang pangalan ko ang nasa dulo nito

Pinilit kong labanan ang ikot ng mundo
Para lang maging karapatdapat sayo
Ngunit tadhana ay di ata ako gusto
Kaya siguro hindi naging tayo

How Are You?

It's been a while since the last time I saw your smile
Hear the voice that used to be my lullaby
Though it's not right, I want to know how you are
After you let me go and say your final goodbye.

I wanted to know if you had a wonderful life
If the one you've chosen give you the love you deserve to have
If that person never leave your side and make you smile
I just wanted to know if what I did was right.

After all these years, did I ever cross your mind?
Did you miss our long conversation at night?
Do you smile when you remember that time?
Or you forget about me and the days that we had

Apologies if I ask for your state of heart
I just wanted to know how is your life
If I should regret that I didn't give a fight
Or the brokenness I've been through is worth your smile
