A Thousand Lives
This is the lyrics of the soon-to-be-released song of Bukas Palad, based on the words of St. Lorenzo Ruiz.
Salibong Buhay
Sanlibo man aking buhay,
bawat isa'y iaalay
sa Diyos at bayan kong mahal,
'sasanggalang inyong dangal.
Isugo Mo kahit saan,
hamakin man ako't saktan.
Dalangin ko'y maging tapat.
Pag-ibig Mo ay sasapat.
Sanlibo man aking buhay,
sanlibo ring iaalay.
Sanlibo kong kamatayan,
sa palad Mo ilalaan.
Sanlibo man aking buhay,
bawat isa'y iaalay
sa Diyos at bayan kong mahal,
'sasanggalang inyong dangal.
Isugo Mo kahit saan,
hamakin man ako't saktan.
Dalangin ko'y maging tapat.
Pag-ibig Mo ay sasapat.
Sanlibo man aking buhay,
sanlibo ring iaalay.
Sanlibo kong kamatayan,
sa palad Mo ilalaan.
(Rough translation. Note: You can actually sing the melody to this English version.)
If I should have a thousand lives,
I'd offer each and every one
To God and Country that I love
and for your Honor, my lives will guard.
So send where You need me be,
Insulted, hurt I soon could be,
But with this fear, I humbly pray
Your Love suffice, Your Love remain.
A thousand lives, I may have
A thousand times, I'll offer thee
A thousand deaths, there may be
Into Your hands, I give in love.
I'd offer each and every one
To God and Country that I love
and for your Honor, my lives will guard.
So send where You need me be,
Insulted, hurt I soon could be,
But with this fear, I humbly pray
Your Love suffice, Your Love remain.
A thousand lives, I may have
A thousand times, I'll offer thee
A thousand deaths, there may be
Into Your hands, I give in love.

Just a quick question...is this derived from San Lorenzo Ruiz's famous quote? :)
touching ang lyrics... just jot it down.
danke (thanx)
Yes this is derived from St. Lorenzo Ruiz's famous quote.
Am not sure if it is words and lyrics but this is a Fr. Manoling Francisco, S.J. collection.
Thanks also for visiting...
