Kung sakaling ikaw ay magbalik,
huwag mag-atubiling hanapin ako.
Hindi kita aabalahin, hindi ako sabik
na buksan muli ang matagal nang sarado.
Bumisita ka sa amin,
kumatok sa pinto at mag-abang.
Kapag hindi ka agad papasukin,
dumungaw sa bintana, makikitang ako'y narito lang.
Maaaring hindi ko lamang narinig
ang katok **** nag-aalinlangan.
****-usap, huwag hayaang manaig
ang dudang tatlong taong napag-ipunan.
Huwag mag-alala, sumisilip pa naman ako
paminsan-minsan kung may tao sa labas.
Hindi kita malimutan, hanggang ngayo'y sigurado
ako na balang-araw magtatagpo ang ating landas.
Kapag magkasalubong ang ating sulyap
at tayo'y muling sapian ng pagnanasa,
kimkimin muna natin, idaan sa yakap
pag-isipan kung handa nang muling magtaya.
Anumang daan ang tahakin,
pag-ibig nati'y walang kupas
Nag-iiba ng anyo, ngunit nariyan pa rin,
mas naititiyak pa sa pagdating ng bukas.
Kung sakaling hindi ka magbalik,
sisikapin kong maghanap sa'yo.
Aabalahin kita, dahil ako'y sabik
na mapagsaluhan natin ang mundo.
huwag mag-atubiling hanapin ako.

(Sadyang may mga araw na ramdam **** makapaghihintay ka nang kahit gaano pang katagal.)
And hey, I suddenly felt like translating this as well. I apologize, it's lost the rhyme. Here it is:
If ever you return,
don't hesitate to look for me.
I won't bother you, I'm not desperate
to rekindle the spent flame.
Visit my home,
knock at the door and wait.
If no one lets you in right away,
peer through the window, you'll see me there.
Maybe I just didn't hear
your knocks that sound uncertain.
Please, don't allow yourself to be controlled
by three years of collected doubt.
Don't worry, I still look outside
sometimes to see if there are visitors.
I can't forget you, 'til now I believe
that one day our fates shall intertwine.
When our eyes finally meet
and we are taken over by desire,
could we control our urges?
We should ponder if we're ready to take this risk again.
Whichever way we choose,
our love shall not fade
It changes form but remains nonetheless,
this is more definite than tommorow.
If you don't ever come back,
I won't hesitate to look for you.
It may be bothersome, but I can't wait
for us to share the world again.
