Bakit ang bilis mong bumitaw?
Why did you let go so fast?

Marahil ba't malakas ang hangin?
Was the wind too fierce to hold?

Ako'y mistulang saranggola
I am like a kite,

na pilit mong pinalilipad,
you tried so hard to keep flying,

ngunit bago pa man makalipad,
but before I could soar high,

bigla kang bumitaw.
you suddenly let me go.

Bumitaw ka nga ba,
Was it you who let go,

o ako?
or was it me?

Paano na? Ako.
And now, what becomes of me?
