I Love You - In Different Languages

Out of nowhere, my head started playing Leah Navarro's song Isang Mundo, Isang Awit.  For those of you who are not familiar with it, you may refer to the lyrics below.  
 
Ngayon mundo'y gulung-gulo
At lahat tayo'y litung-lito
Pag-ibig sa kapwa tao
Sa daigdig dapat ituro
Kung bawa't puso ay marunong magmahal
Kapayapaa't kasiyahan tiyak na makakamtan

Lahat tayo'y pantay-pantay

Sa biyaya ng Maykapal
Lahat sana'y akbay-akbay
Handang tumulong kanino man
Kung bawat tao ay marunong magmahal
Ano mang kulay o salita
Tiyak na makiki-isa

KORO
Je t'aime, te amo, I love you
Watashi wa anata o aistomasu
Ich liebe dich, iniibig kita
Gua ay di
Paano man sabihin
Ang mundo'y turuan natin
Tanging lunas ang pag-ibig
Isang mundo, isang awit

Isang sigaw, Pag-ibig.

Then I realized that I can actually teach "I love you" in different languages to R, through it's chorus.  And since we just have the conversation over breakfast while we're preparing for school, I decided to write her a note. I wrote the chorus and gave a pronunciation guide plus the language. 


I hope she'll have fun learning it as much as I enjoy teaching it.
