You don’t need to be blamed for anything
Your mother needs to be the one failing
I’ve come here to meet you across the line
It’s up to you to leave the rest behind.
-And when you get close enough to see me
your back starts sweating ever so sweetly
The brightness of your smile lights up my face
You always save me from that lonely place. -(Pre-chorus)
-Don’t shake me cause I’m thinking of you.
Don’t wake me up, I'm dreaming of you.
Don’t take my eyes, I’m seeing in you.
Don’t break me down, I'll hold onto you. -(Chorus)
You don’t need to be thrown in the spotlight
Your father shouldn't tell you to act right
I’ve come here just to whisper in your ear
You shouldn’t fear because you know I’m near
-Pre-chorus-
-Chorus-
-Now they’re shaking me, waking me, taking me, and breaking me down
But I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and holding you down- (2x)
So don’t shake me, I'm thinking of you
don’t wake me up, I'm dreaming of you
don’t take me now , I'm seeing in you
don’t break me down, I'm holding you down
For I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and holding you down
I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and I’m still holding you down
buh-bye na
wala na
talagang pag-asa
wala ng ibabaling
pa
kahit itong
pagtingin
ay 'sang uri
rin lang ng
aking salamin
ang taglay mong
kagandahan
ay ipasasantabi ko
na
ang taglay mo ring
angking kariktan
ay nawawalan
nitong nilalaman
para sa akin
ito'y nabalewala
sa aking umaga.
kaya't buh-bye na.
sa tuwing sasapit ang umaga
tinawag niyang pimple
ang bundok,
tinawag pang parisukat
ang tatsulok
kung minsan ako'y nagtatanong din
sa pagbabasa
ng bibliya
sa ating pormal na wika—
kung ito'y karapat-dapat ba?
sabi naman ng iba,
naaayon daw
ang mga ginagamit na
uri ng pananalita
sa lipunang
kinabibilangan nila.
ako ngayon ay tila
hindi na maka-laban,
dahil sa nakagawian na.
I was asked if I believe in true love,
I was asked, how do I know it's real?
My answer is yes,
I truly believe it can be real,
But I really don't know.
It's something I've never got to feel.
I've had sweet lies,
And stories told about happy endings that never happen.
But me?
I'm just out here with my easel and paints,
Setting up camp with broken souls,
The ones I think will look beautiful,
Painted next to my own bruised and damaged soul,
And painting blindly,
Hoping to create a masterpiece.
taglamig
(former reedited title: taglamig,
at siya lang kaya ang dahilan?)
nung una pa lang,
ako'y namangha na
sa iyong ginagawa
ako rin ay lubusang
natutuwa sa matimyas
na hitsura ng iyong mukha
tila isa kang dalagang
pumukaw sa aking damdamin
iyong wangis parati
ang nasasalamin
bagkus, malayo ang ating agwat
bakit tila ako'y hindi papa-awat?
dahil kaya'y nasa lugar ka
na isa sa pinakagusto kong
puntahan at tirahan?
o baka naman itong
mismong lugar ko na tinitirahan
ay wala namang laman?
h'wag sana magpapahalata
ang langit sa aking kisame,
ang masulyapan ka'y
para itong asul sa taas,
kaniyang pisngi
ngayong Taglamig na
sa ating mga bayan o kanayunan,
kakaiba talaga ang aking
nararamdaman
sapagkat nasaan ka man,
sa trabaho mo o sa kaniyang
piling man,
marahil wala ng magagawa
ang tulad ko kundi
ang ipagdasal ang iyong
tanging kaligayahan.
Aking Kaagapay
Tila siya ang babaeng parang
hangin para sa aking hininga
Dagliang ito ay mahirap makita
Magiging kasundo sa
lahat ng bagay,
para bang damit
na bumabagay
Puwede bang
isipin na si babae ay
parang isang paboritong
kanta?
Puwede rin ba na si babae ay
maging parang
mga titik sa
librong binabasa?
Kung puwede lang sana..
na ganun nga
at makakasundo
sa maraming bagay—
Matatawag si babae na
aking kaagapay—
Verse 1:
If only I had more time,
Home would not seem so far.
I’m so far from home.
Did you forget you were my home?
‘Cause home is whenever we’re together.
I don’t know what to say or where to begin.
I won’t trade our love for anything.
No one will love you better than me.
Chorus:
If only we could getaway,
Home is a feeling I’ve buried in you.
I’m alright. I’m alright.
It only hurts when lies are believed to be true.
Freedom is shattering the lies
And making way for the truth.
I’ll be your anchor. I’ll be your everything.
If only we could be together, for eternity.
Verse 2:
If only I could be the one to guide you home,
The ocean waves crash onto shore.
The waves wipe away the messages in sand
That I’m trying to send to you.
If only we’ll become each other’s anchor,
Home will not seem so far.
Home is a feeling we’ve buried in each other.
If only time was on our side.
Bridge:
Are you ready to give your love to me?
Are you ready to make me your home?
‘Cause I’ve been thinking lately,
That you could be the one
That could save me from the misery.
If only, right here, right now,
We could become each other’s everything.
Home is a feeling we’ve built in each other.
tanging ang puso ay magsumamo
palagi raw matamis
ang "oo";
marami-rami
ang nagsasabing
kakilala ko
biglang tingin,
biglang liwanag—
mga awitin nating
nababanaag!
—kumusta ka
lahing bituin?
kay tanyag mong
piliin—
sana lang—sa
hapon na ito,
tanging ang puso
ay magsumamo
Verse 1:
I carefully craft an image of you
In my mind.
But, sometimes, the reality does not match
The illusion in our dreams.
This is not how it should end
But, how it should begin.
Tell me: where do we go from here?
Chorus:
I am getting over you.
Though, the pace was slow.
I never needed to test my feelings for you.
But, you, you felt the need to test the waters.
Now, I’m left with nothing but our memories.
You got me in unbound memories.
You shattered my soul and spirit.
Verse 2:
Though, I don’t need to know your sins.
You will be a scarlet letter for the world to see.
Your past continues to haunt you.
Christ cannot save you from your sins.
You confessed your sins to me.
You dragged me along yet
Always looked for someone better.
Bridge:
If only you could see
That I know your story
Better than anyone,
We could become each other’s everything.
Though, I don’t know what lies ahead,
I’ll follow you wherever you will go.
Our lives are caged in together.
