Isang alikabok sa malawak sa kalawakan
walang pwesto sa karimlan, tintang walang buhay
Ligaw sa kawalan, may bituin na nabuhay
mula sa puno ng kakulangan, naging masaya itong tunay

ngunit ang kislap ay walang saysay
Sa isang punding abok, itim lamang taglay
walang kalawakan ang makakaligtas
Hindi kakayaning punuin ang walang laman

Tanaga version:

Alikabok sa dilim

Na ligaw sa karimlan

Ilaw yaring bituin

Lawak hirap punuin


  ________

Debris (English version of "Alikabok")

I am a debris in this vast dark sky
I have no place, this is no beautiful place
full of emptiness and nothingness
The stars, they exist to provide me light on these darkness space

I do appreciate but it's not enough
to a burned-out dust, blackness is rough
No beauty of a universe can ever save
No little of shines can fill up the darkness of this empty void
