Here are the full lyrics uplifted from TagalogLang:
Original Version
Anong laking hirap kung pagka-iisipin
Ang gawang umibig sa babaeng mahinhin
Lumuluhod ka na’y
di ka pa man din pansin
Sa hirap ika’y kanyang susubukin.
Ligaya ng buhay babaeng sakdal inam
Ang halaga niya’y di matutumbasan
Kahinhinan niya’y tanging kayamanan.
English Translation
What a hardship it is to consider
The act of loving a modest woman
You may be on your knees
but she still won’t notice
She’ll test you in hardship
Joy of life, a woman extraordinarily fine
Her worth cannot be equaled
Her modesty is exceptional treasure.
