Lyrics of Lumang simbahan - Asin

Lumang simbahan (original)

Sa lumang simbahan, aking napagmasdan
Dalaga’t binata ay nagsusumpaan
Sila’y nakaluhod sa harap ng altar
Sa tig-isang kamay, may hawak na punyal
Kung ako’y patay na, ang hiling ko lamang
Dalawin mo, giliw, ang ulilang libing
At kung maririnig mo ang taghoy at daing
Yao’y panghimakas ng sumpaan natin
At kung maririnig mo ang tugtog ng kampana
Sa lumang simbahan, dumalaw ka lamang
Lumuhod ka, giliw, sa harap ng altar
At iyong idalangin ang naglahong giliw
Lumuhod ka, giliw, sa harap ng altar
At iyong idalangin ang naglahong giliw

(translation)

In the old church, I observed
Young man and young woman swear
They were kneeling in front of the altar
In each hand, a dagger is held
If I'm dead, it's my only wish
Visit, my love, the orphan's funeral
And if you hear wailing and groaning
That is the denial of our curse
And if you hear the ringing of the bell
In the old church, just visit
Kneel, my love, before the altar
And you will pray for lost love
Kneel, my love, before the altar
And you will pray for lost love
