🎵 Kanus-a Lang To / Tungod Kaninyo

(Bisaya Tribute Song)

Verse 1
Kanus-a lang to, ang mga pangandoy ko kalisod makab-ot
Tungod kaninyo midangat ako sa akong gusto maabot
Gusto ko kamong pasalamatan bisan sa usa ka awit lamang

Verse 2
Kanus-a lang to, daw walay direksyon ang akong mga lakang
Tungod kaninyo gitabangan sa Diyos ang akong panginahanglan
Mao nga kining awit ko nga ginawit ihalad ko kaninyo

Chorus
Tigulang ug lumalabay lang ako
Apan duna koy awit nga ibitin sa inyong handumanan
Kaniadto kita ninyo nagkauban (2x)

Verse 3
Kanus-a lang to sermon ug pagtudlo ko di’ nyo permanente
Salamat sa Diyos nahamtong kamo ug inyong kining nasabtan
Tungod niini giisip ko kamong akong suod nga kahigalaan

Repeat Chorus 2x

WHEN I AM GONE

When I leave, I don’t want you to be too sad. Stay silent, save the words, and remember the happy moments that warm the soul. When I fall asleep, let me rest. I’m gone for a reason. If you miss me, don’t say anything. In silence, look for my presence in my house, my books, my letters, and my photos, as well as in those papers that I wrote in a hurry.

Wear my shirts, my sweater, and my jacket. Walk in my shoes. My room is yours, as are my pillow and my bed. If it’s cold, wrap yourself in my scarves. Enjoy the chocolate and wine I left. Listen to that song I loved so much, use my perfume, and take care of my plants.

If they bury my body, don’t be afraid. Run free and let your tears flow. Let the wind caress your face. Feel the poetry, music, and singing. Kiss the earth, drink the water, and learn the language of the birds. If you miss me deeply, try to hide it and look for me in the children, the coffee, the radio, and those places where I used to hide. Never say the word ‘death.’ Sometimes being forgotten is sadder than dying many times and still being remembered.

When I fall asleep, bring flowers to my grave and shout with all your might that life goes on. The flame of life does not go out just because I am not there. Those who “live” never die completely; they only fall asleep momentarily. Eternal sleep is just an excuse.

When I leave, extend your hand, and you will feel my touch. You will know that I will always be by your side. And one day, with a smile, you will feel that I have returned to stay with you forever.
