• This song is inspired by the real life story of Nicanor Abelardo's childhood friend Dr. Francisco Tecson.
• Dr. Francisco Tecson  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. 

NASAAN KA IROG
lyrics
Nasaan ka Irog,At dagling naparam ang iyong pag-ibig?'Di baga sumpa mo, ako'y mamahalin?Iyong itatangi, iyong itatangiMagpa-hanggang libing,Subalit nasaan ang gayong pagtingin?Nasaan ka IrogAt natitiis mong ako'y mangulila,at hanap-hanapin ikaw sa alaalaNasaan ang sabi mongAkoy' iyong LigayaNgayo'y nalulumbayay di ka makita.Irog ko'y tandaankung ako man ay iyong siniphayoMga sumpa't lambingPinaram mong buoAng lahat sa buhay koay hindi maglalaho'tMasisilbing bakasNang nagdaan'tang pagsuyo.Tandaan mo irog,Irog ko'y tandaanAng lahat sa Buhay koay hindi maglalaho''tMagsisilbing bakas'Tang Pagsuyo,Nasaan ka irog,Nasaan ka irog?

Nasaan ka irog?

Donde estas, mi vida!
