ASTRONOMO (song)

"Padaba niya sana, an dai niya kayang kaputan;

pighahanap niya sana an dai niya kayang makua."

"He loves only those he cannot touch;

he seeks only those he cannot find."

AN ISTORYA KAN HALIPOT NA BUHAY NI ROMY (song)

"Ini an istorya

kan halipot na buhay ni Romy

sa pagkamuot niya ki Josefang tindera..."
