TAGALOG LYRICS
Bituing marikit
Sa gabi ng buhay
Ang bawat kislap mo’y
Ligaya ang taglay.
Yaring aking palad
Iyong patnubayan
At kahit na sinag
Iyong bahaginan.
Natanim sa puso ko
Yaong isang pag-ibig
Na pinakasasamba
Sa loob ng dibdib.
Sa iyong luningning
Laging nasasabik
Ikaw ang pangarap
Bituing Marikit.
Lapitan mo ako
Halina Bituin
Ating pag-isahin
ang mga damdamin.
*Ang sabik kong diwa’y
Huwag mong uhawin
Sa batis ng iyong
wagas na paggiliw
