O Ilaw Lyrics – Philippine Folk Song

O Ilaw Lyrics – A Filipino Folk Song

O, Ilaw
sa gabing madilim
Wangis mo’y
bituin sa langit.

O, tanglaw
sa gabing tahimik
Larawan mo Neneng
nagbigay pasakit.

Tindig at magbangon
sa pagkagupiling
Sa pagkakatulog
na lubhang mahimbing.

Buksan ang bintana
at ako’y dungawin
Nang mapagtanto mo
ang tunay kong pagdaing.

O Ilaw Lyrics in English

O, light, in the dark night
You’re like a star in the sky.

O, light, in the quiet night
Your picture, Neneng,
makes one hurt.

Awake and arise
from slumber
from your sleep
so deep.

Open your window
and look out to me
So that you may understand
my true lament.
