Translation in English for non-Filipinos Translated by Zukarin "To The Forgotten Girl/Boyfriend" Benilda S. Santos
The truth is, I don't wanna talk to you anymore Because your laugh through the telephone is so annoying You make fun of everything - even though it's not funny It's becoming a joke
I don't want it like this 'Cause I feel like, your laughter is sad And I am scared to be affected In the germs your bringing I don't want my healthy happiness to be weakened
But I know : I'll still meet you For the sake of the memories That makes people holy/divine And because I knew Behind those loud laughter The truth is, Your requesting a prescription For your sickness and pain
You don't know, I can't give Any medicine or treatment. Sometimes loving faithfully can also be selfish

"To The Forgotten Girl/Boyfriend"
Benilda S. Santos
The truth is, I don't wanna talk to you anymore
Because your laugh through the telephone is so annoying
You make fun of everything - even though it's not funny
It's becoming a joke
I don't want it like this
'Cause I feel like, your laughter is sad
And I am scared to be affected
In the germs your bringing
I don't want my healthy happiness to be weakened
But I know :
I'll still meet you
For the sake of the memories
That makes people holy/divine
And because I knew
Behind those loud laughter
The truth is,
Your requesting a prescription
For your sickness and pain
You don't know,
I can't give
Any medicine or treatment.
Sometimes loving faithfully can also be selfish
