"Hiyang" Lyrics
isang payapang hapon
sa may tagpuan nanghuhuli ng tutubi
nalilibang

at magkahawak ang kamay natin
paglakdaw sa bato-bato
sa ilog tatawid
doon sa puno lalambitin

kay gaan
parang lumulutang
hiyang, hiyang

nakahandusay
langit, abot-kamay
ako’y hiyang, hiyang
nanghihinayang

lumipat ng bahay
tayo’y nahiwalay
bago matulog sa gabi, ang lagi kong dasal
muli tayong lalakbay

lumipas ang ilang taon
naaalala ko pa rin
mga kaluluwang inosenteng walang kamuwang-muwang
buong-buo ang kalooban

kay gaan
parang lumulutang
hiyang, hiyang

nakahandusay
langit, abot-kamay
ako’y hiyang, hiyang
nanghihinayang

paalam
paalam muna
tinatawag na ako ng aking diwa

at sa pagtulog
muli tayong maghabulan
sa ating munting tagpuan

kay gaan
parang lumulutang
hiyang, hiyang

nakahandusay
langit, abot-kamay
ako’y hiyang, hiyang
nanghihinayang
