'Awit ni Canuplin'
Lyrics by Manny Pambid
Music by Louie Pascasio

Sa hirap at sa ginhawa, ako'y iyong kasama
Bituing mapagpala ang gagabay sa ating dalawa

At kahit na lumabo pa o maglaho ang sinag
Ako'y tapat sa iyo, kaibigan mo't kadaup-palad

Tayo nang gumaod sa bangka
at damhin ang tubig sa mukha
Lasapin ang simoy ng hangin
magpahanggang libing
magpahanggang libing

Ipaghehele tayo ng lagaslas ng mga alon
Iduduyan sa himig ng hanging-dagat

Tatanglawan ng mga bituing mapagpala sa langit
Haharapin natin ang mahahabang gabi

Tayo nang gumaod sa bangka
at damhin ang tubig sa mukha
Lasapin ang simoy ng hangin
magpahanggang libing
magpahanggang libing

Ipaghehele tayo ng lagaslas ng mga alon
Iduduyan sa himig ng hanging-dagat

Tatanglawan ng mga bituing mapagpala sa langit
Haharapin natin ang mahahabang gabi

Just learned this morning..Didn't really know Susan, but we were introduced during one of those Masses for Truth in Ateneo last year. Even if we talked only briefly, one could tell that she was a very kind soul...I was so moved by this song and the way Susan sang it, that, as you can see, I tried to learn it and everything about it... We offer our prayers and condolences to Susan's family...

i heard this song when Noel Cabangon sang it. It was very good

[dustysuarez]

I love this song so much.. we sang this in a choir back in 2006 in a cappella musical score courtesy of someone from PETA
