Pagsibol 

                                                                                                      (To Spring Forth; To Bloom)

I                                                                                                        (Note by note phrasing) 

       

Bawat huni ng ibon sa pag-ihip ng amihan.                        Birds trill as  the North wind’s blowing

                                                                                                       touching my being at its core.

Wangis mo’y aking natatanaw.                                           I see Your face before me everywhere.

Pagdampi ng umaga sa nanlalamig ko’ng kalamnan.        The morning light caresses the growing

                                                                                                         coldness in my flesh.

Init mo’y pangarap ko’ng hagkan'                                     How I yearn to embrace all Your warmth.

Chorus:     

                                                                      

Pangino-on ikaw ang kasibulan ng buhay.                        O Lord, Almighty God You are my life’s

                                                                                                               fullest bloom.

Puso’y dalisay kailan pa man.                                           Your heart so pure, e’er undefiled.

Ipahintulot mong ako’y mapahandusay,                           I beg Your leave O Lord that I collapse

                                                                                                          in Your arms

 sa sumasaibayong kaginhawahan.                                   So I could feel transcendent peace 

                                                                                                          and joy, at last! 

II

Nangungulilang malay, binubulungan ng tinig                The spirit sick with longing, will hear       

                                                                                                     the whisper of Your voice,

           Mo’ng, nagdudulot ng katiwasayan.                     giving it comfort and easing it’s pain.

Paghahanap katwiran nilusaw mo sa                               A life looking for reasons, doubts melt

                                                                                                          away in the fire……,

           simbuyo’ng karilagan ng pagmamahal.                in the fire of Your loving embrace!

Chorus 2 (2 x)

Panginoon ikaw ang kasibulan ng buhay.                       O Lord, Almighty God You are my life’s

                                                                                                          fullest bloom.

Puso’y dalisay kailan pa man.                                        Your heart so pure, e’er undefiled.

Ipahintulot Mo’ng ako’y mapahandusay,                       I beg Your leave O Lord, that I collapse 

                                                                                                                   in Your arms,

sa sumasaibayong kaginhawahan                                  so I could feel transcendent peace 

                                                                                                        and joy, at last!

Finale

Dalangin pa sana’y mapagtanto kong tunay           O how I pray that I could fully grasp and realize

Kaganapan ng buhay ko’y ikaw lamang                That You alone O Lord is the fullness of my life.
