Balada ng Oileán

He came from Long Island
Faithful, proud and Irish

She came from the islands too
Filipina through and through

They met
They knew
And their love grew

The distance he braved
From far far away
The miles she traveled
To build their better day

This is the love
They became

Through happy
Through sad
This is what their hearts said
You’re the purest love I’ll ever have

Lifted each other
To the top of their mountain
Climbing higher every day
There they sang their song
Side by side together

Their chorus and their verses
With happiness and purpose

She will always be his brown-eyed girl
He will always have her as his biggest fan
Even though life brought them other plans

The distance he braved
From far far away

The miles she traveled
To build their better day
This is the love
They became

Through happy
Through sad
This is what their hearts said
You’re the purest love I’ll ever have

Not enough time
For her peace of mind
Too many dreams remained

Between the raindrops she will run
To find warm slices of the sun

On the beach and in the ocean
Where he rests and becomes

The grains and the waves
The memories she saves
In her
Lives all the love they gave

Now she’s still here
Their blessings by her side
Their light reveals

That no one has to tell you what to feel
When love is real
And love like this is real
Love like this is real
This love is real

This is real

He came from Long Island
She came from the islands too
Their love grew

And this will be forever
Always true
