I have always loved my poor country and I am sure that I shall love her until my last moment. Perhaps some people will be unjust to me; well, my future, my life, my joys, everything I have sacrificed for love of her. Whatever my fate may be, I shall die blessing my country and wishing her the dawn of her redemption.

Minsan ay hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari
Kahit na anong gawin, lahat ng bagay ay mayroong hangganan
Dahil ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng kahapon
Di na mapipilitang buhayin ang ating pinagsamahan
Ngunit kung sakaling mapadaan baka ikaw ay aking tawagan
Dahil minsan tayo ay naging tunay na magkaibigan
—Minsan (Circus, 1994)
We must face tomorrow with determination, joy and bravery.
