Maalaala mo Kaya
Wag mong sabihing ika'y hamak
Kahit na isang mahirap
'Pagkat ang tangi kong pag-ibig
Ganyan ang hinahanap
Aanhin ko ang kayamanan
Kung ang puso'y salawahan
Nais ko'y pag-ibig na tunay
At walang kamatayan
Maalaala mo kaya
Ang sumpa mo sa akin
Na ang pag-ibig mo ay
Sadyang 'di magmamaliw
Kung nais mong matanto
Buksan ang aking puso
At tanging larawan mo
Ang doo'y nakatago

'Di ka kaya magbago

Sa iyong pagmamahal
Tunay kaya irog ko
Hanggang sa libingan
