Perfectly sang. They sounded like a real Filipino's. Bravo!!!

[@poetahka]

The Philippines' connection with the Czech Republic is; the friendship between our National Hero Jose Rizal and Ferdinand Blumentritt who's from Prague. Blumentritt is a place in Manila named after him : )

[@jcflores8386]

[@SerramiahmE]

I kinda made my own English translation to the original Filipino version. Ikaw ang bigay ng Maykapal (God gave me you and...) Tugon sa aking dasal (...you're the answer to my prayers.) Upang sa lahat ng panahon (So that in all of the seasons,) Bawat pagkakataon (and every moment,) Ang ibigin ko'y ikaw (I will always love you) Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo (You are the light of my world.) Kabiyak nitong puso ko (You're the other half of my heart.) Wala ni kahati mang saglit (Nothing can divide my time...) Na sa iyo'y may papalit (...and no one can replace you,) Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw (now and forever will be you) Ang lahat ng aking galaw (All the things that I do...) Ang sanhi ay ikaw (...is all because of you.) Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw (If I can see my future,) Dahil may isang ikaw (...I can see it because of you) Kulang ang magpakailan pa man (Forever is not enough...) Upang bawat sandali ay... (...to treasure every second,) Upang muli't muli ay... (to do it again and again,) Ang mahalin ay ikaw (and to love someone like you.) I hope you liked it. :D

[@sheilahunter6232]

la Voce - doesn’t sound right to me, but you are good. 😊

[@justgotserious9124]

You, given by God An answer to my prayers So in all of times In every moment I will always love you You, the light of my world The other half of my heart Not shared by any moment Not replaced by any thing Now and forever, it's you All the things I do It's because of you If I can see tomorrow It's because of you Forever is not enough For every moment For again and again(/every time) I'd love you (I made the translation like it's one whole boy of writing but divided through which the lines were. At the last stanza, I translated the word "upang" similarly to which I would for the word "para'' which can be used interchangeably in Filipino. Sorry for any mistakes, albeit Filipino I'm never great with the subject in HS and in college.)

[@someoneelseright4671]

Sheila Hunter it is the right translation

[@kentantuas4156]

Wow I'm speechless

[@josephinerodriguez2191]

sana maisalin nga sa inglish para sa mga mahilig sa inglish kay gandang song talaga

The reason why English and Spanish speaking people around the world can relate their songs, journalism and speaking terms is that their alphabets are almost the same! And I don't wonder that in the near future Tagalog will be the the 3rd most talked language in the world!
