"NGANO"
composed by: FILMORE NABUA
VERSE I:
Isa ka adlaw, nga nakita ka
Giila-ila ug nag-storya ta
Nagbalik-balik ko sa gibutngan mo
Aron mailhan ka nako ug pag-ayo
Hangtod nga ako, naibog sa imoha
Tungod sa kaayo na imong gipakita
Apan lage, 'di ko kasulti...
VERSE II:
Nagsugid ka sa mga problema mo,
Problema sa imong uyab na walay klaro
Pero dili ka kabiya niya,
Kay siya man ang imong gihigugma
Busa ako karon, Oh! paminawa,
Kay andam ko'ng tabangan ka nga kalimtan siya...
Ug andam ko'ng ihatag ang akoa nga gugma
Ug lipayon, ka'ng walay sama... Pero!
CHORUS:
Nganong, di ka mobiya?
Sa iyang kiliran, bisan ikaw gipasakitan
Ug unta, lingi-on mo ako
Nga naghulat kanimo, ug naghandom sa gugma mo
ooohhh ohh...
VERSE III:
Ug karon, kalit ka lamang nga nawala
Wa na ta magka-storya, ug wa na ta magkita
Ako nabalaka sa imo, pag-ayo
Kay basin ug gibuhat nasad niya, nganha nimo...
Ang kasakit nga permi nimong matilawan
Bisan ug gihatag nimo, niya ang tanan
Pero karon, wala na ko'y mahimo
Kay imo nang, kaugalingong gusto... Ug!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(INSTRUMENTAL)
OUTRO:
Pero, wa ko'y dag-anan
Kay siya man ang imong kalibutan
Mao nga, dawaton ko nalang
Ang kamatuoran, nga dili ta mag-uban
