Original song lyrics

Translated version

Chapter 3 (Sasuke's POV)

I walk around the streets of konoha, ignoring the calls of some random girls. Where I am going, depends on where my feet will take me.

I need to think.

I was supposed to do that last night but fate seemed to have different plans for me... In the figure of Sabakuno Gaara. He sheltered me as the rain started to pour down, held me as the sadness became unbearable. He asked no questions...and I thank him for that. I woke up the next morning in an empty bed, but the space beside me was still warm, showing that he left recently.

I look around to see where I was only to find out the I unconsciously led myself to the Hokage face cliff that overlooked the village. I sat there and observed the people doing their daily routine, it was as if looking at ants in a glass ant farm. Time passes as I just sit there. "So this is where you are" Itachi. I look around and see him looking at me. "Kakashi was worried about you" How long have I been here in the first place? I look away. I came here to clear my mind especially from him.. "Now you see that I'm fine... Leave me alone." I can't help but snap at him. Anger begun to take over me. "Sa-" I cut him off before he can even mention my name. "I SAID LEAVE!" I tell him, my voice raising. I turn and glare at him. Instantly I begin to regret turning, I see his eyes full of confusion and pain. We look at each other for a while and then he leaves me.

I'm alone again and I lay on my back looking at the clouds.

(Filipinos know this song!)

Umaasang magmamahal muli

Hoping to love once more.

Ang buong akala ko' s'ya na...

I thought he was finally the one.

Kabiguan ang napala

Failure is the only thing I got

Paghilom no puso'y hindi madali

It's not easy to cure a broken heart.

Ang malamang mahal mo'y

To know that the one you love

Walang pagibig sa'yo..

Does not love you at all

Ang umasang magmahal muli

To hope that I will love again

S'yang magagawa

I can do.

Huwag hanapin ang pagibig

Don't look for love...

Ito'y darating

It will come...

Ito'y darating

It will come...

Ito'y darating sa'yo

It will come to you.

I sit up and look around. I wonder who was singing the song. The song that was so perfectly timed for me to hear. As I look at a nearby tree I stare in surprise "You?" It was Gaara. He smirked as he approached me. "Did you like the song?" He asked as he sat beside me. "Y-Yeah... thanks"

Bsamurai: I'm sorry about the lateness and shortness of this chapter... The next one will probably include a song... It is Gaara's POV after all... Any suggestions? Anyway please R&R
