Both the lyrics and the melody of Ranga nin Pusong Nagtitios are hauntingly beautiful. No wonder it is such a favorite of Bikolanos. Eddie Ilarde used to sing this song at election campaign rallies. It helped him to get elected as a senator.

Ranga nin pusong nagities,
Burak nga sangkap ning omot,
Mwadi a buway ko saimo dolot
Mairakeng aliwiwa
Puso kong namemeya.

Bitoen nga maliwanag,
Sa delem ning kagabiyan,
Puso kong nalelebengan,
Nagbareta ning kapengewan.

Kin da ika pagkairak
Na ako mo pabayaan,
Puso kong saimong biniyag
Magpapatibasang.

Ranga nin pusong nagtitios,
Burak na sangkap nin hamot,
Uya an buhay ko saimao dolot
Lilingya nin pagkaherak
Puso kong namomoot.

Bitoon kang maliwanag,
Sa diklom nin kabangihan,
Puso kong nariribongan
Nagbareta nin kapungawan.

Kon dai kang pagkaherak
Na ako mo pabayaan,
Puso kong simong binihag
Magpapatimasang.

Solace of a heart agonizing,
Flowers full of fragrance so rare,
My life to you now I humbly offer
Look upon it with compassion
Leave it not in despair.

You're the star so brightly shining
In the darkness of the evening;
My heart filled with thoughts conflicting
Complaining of sadness unending.

If for me you have no pity,
If you remain unrelenting,
This heart you have captivated
Will give way to despair.
