"Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan"
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw

Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay


Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal

Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan (2x)

[Refrain:]

Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing

Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin

Sa piling ni nanay, langit ay buhay

Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan (Repeat


all)

Coda: Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko, inay

Oh! inay
