Gumamela at Gardenia
ni Maria Victoria Solis
salin sa Tagalog ni Ulysses Espartero

Kapareho ako ng gumamela
Kaakit-akit sa ilalim ng sikat ng araw
Ngunit pagsapit ng takipsilim
Nandoon ka sa gardenia dahil hindi na ako makikita.
Kung tutuusin, kami ay walang pinagkaiba
Na may katas kung pukpukin ng matulis na bato,
Naglalaway pa nga ang aking katas …
Kaya lang ‘tong gardenia
May naiiwang bango
Sa iyong puso.
