WANDERER'S SONG by Luz D. Navarro
Far do I wander away from home Home where the palms wave high, None do I find, though I may roam, Blue as my Philippine sky.
Sing me the song of wild pipits That once more I may see Fair islands for which my sad heart beats And what they recall to me.
Blue, cloud-kissed Mount Arayat And silvery rivers bright Slender fronds of the coconut Dancing in sheer delight.
Fields painted with sunset glow, Birds twittering on the wing, Palay bending with graisn below, Waiting for harvesting.
Strum me kundiman airs That I may feel once more Sweet kiss of amihan airs That blow on my native shore.
To beautiful far away lands I go Over the briny foam, But never and never a land I know Can ever compare with home!
