Mientras Que Yo Ta Vivi

A testament of love.

Composed by Dr. Norma Camins Conti, a professor (which i got the pleasure of knowing) at WMSU, Zamboanga City, I consider this the most beautiful Chavacano poem I have ever read - and the melody is heavenly too!

Although ma'am Conti said that she wrote this for her brother who died that same year, It is my opinion that this poem is for anyone who loves - a love that is deep and pure that touches the soul.

And would'nt it be really nice if someone recites to you this poem? (sigh)

Mientras que yo ta vivi
Corazon ta vibra
Con amor ta sinti
Dentro el alma ta grita

Cada dia y cada sueno
Ta pensa contigo
Que algun dia juntu kita
Ay hace este realiza

Tu el aire fresco
Del mar el viento
Tu el sol que alumbra mi vida

Abre tu tu corazon
Yo este con mi amor
Todo lo que tu ay sinti
Tus sufrimientos, tus sonrisas
Nunca yo ay puede deja contigo

Todo'l dia y cada sueno
Ta pensa contigo
Que algun dia juntu kita
Ay hace este realiza

Mientras yo ta vivi
Tu mi amor
