Kapwa lumuluha kapwa nasasaktan
Bakit tinitikis parin ang isa't isa
Lagi na lamang bang ganito ang buhay natin
Di na matitiis paghihirap ng dibdib
Sanay nadarama mo rin ang paghihirap ko
At sana'y pakinggan ang pakiusap ko sa'yo
Hindi ko na hinahangad ang yaman sa mundo
Pagmamahal mo lang ang tanging hinahanap ko
Maaari bang sana'y patawarin mo ako
Pagkat tayong dalawa ay sa isa't isa
Di na matitiis paghihirap ng dibdib
Sana'y nadarama mo rin ang paghihirap ko
At sana'y pakinggan ang pakiusap ko sayo
Hindi ko na hinahangad ang yaman sa mundo
Pagmamahal mo lang ang tanging hinahanap ko
Maaari bang sana'y patawarin mo ako
Pagkat tayong dalawa ay sa isa't isa
Pagmamahal mo lang ang tanging hinahanap ko
Maaari bang sanay patawarin mo ako
