Tonight, After the Love, I Heard a Mournful Lullaby

Drink the wine.
Lie on the floor.
Color my dreams with black and red.
Flush my night with lust and love.
Fill my senses with that French kiss.
Caress me with a stroke.
Dance with me.
Move your body same as mine.
For tonight, we will be one.

Wine, drive me wild.
For I’ll be dancing with you throughout the night.
The lights keep flashing on us.
Escape the world of love.
Let’s cross the threshold.
I’m thrilled with the highlight.
Slow mo.
The lights are turned off.
For tonight, we will be one.

Hindi kita iniwan, ikaw ang nagsawa.
Hindi ako ang umalis, ikaw ang naghanap.
Hindi ako nagsawa, pero ikaw ang nang-iwan.
Hindi ako naghanap, pero umalis ka.
Ulit-ulitin ko mang paikutin sa diwa ko,
Isang sagot ang natatamo ko.
Isang sagot na may kasamang pagtataka.
Isang sagot ng pangungulila.

Tonight, I’ll be drinking the wine that will calm my disturbed self.
Iinuming pilit ang alkohol na maglalagay sa akin sa mundong sigurado akong ako ang lumikha.
Ang mundong minsan kong kinalimutan para tahakin ang mundong iniaalok mo.
Tonight, I’ll pretend that I was one of those beings who see solitude as luxury.
Magpapakasaya ako kasama ng alak at mga ilaw na magbibigay ng panandaliang kulay sa
entabladong sanay tayong makitang umiindak, sumasayaw.
I’ll be lying on the floor all by myself for I’m wrecked in this particular tumultuous time.
Because tonight, after the love, I heard a mournful lullaby.
Goodnight! Goodbye for good.
