| General Note |
- General note - This song is inspired by the real life story of Nicanor Abelardo's childhood friend, Dr. Francisco Tecson (to whom this song is dedicated). It portrays "a cruelly thwarted love" between an impoverished maiden and the heir of a wealthy family. "It expresses acute futility, frustration, helplessness, and lingering sadness with profuse harmony and characteristic markings such as pesante and doloroso." Abelardo was also inspired by the dreams and aspirations evoked by the kundiman that he transposed in the song the cry of a broken love, which eventually made the song a theme for empty dreams and forsaken loves. (From the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, vol. 6, p. 258)
