Minsan lang Kita Iibigin (I will love you only once)

MINSAN LANG KITA IIBIGIN

Mahal pangako sa iyo, hindi magbabago
Ikaw lang ang iibigin ko
Kahit ikaw ay lumayo at masaktan ako
Asahan na di maglalaho

Ang pag-ibig ko'y alay sayo lamang
Kung kaya giliw dapat mong malaman....

KORO:
Minsan lang kitang iibigin
Minsan lang kitang mamahalin
Ang pagmamahal sayo'y walang hangganan
Dahil ang minsan ay magpakailanman....

Minsan lamang sa buhay ko ang isang katulad mo
Ako rin ba'y iniibig mo?
Dinggin puso'y sumasamo,sumusumpa sayo
Ikaw ang tanging dalangin ko....

KODA
Dahil ang minsan ay magpakailanman......

I WILL LOVE YOU ONLY ONCE

My love, my promise to you,I will not change

You’re the only one I’ll love

Even if you’ll go far and I will be hurt

Expect it will not fade

My love is offered to you alone

Which is why, giliw (my cause for joy), you should know…

Chorus

I will love you only once

I will love you only once

(My) Love to you has no end

Because once is forever

Someone like you is rare in my life

Do you love me too?

Listen, my heart is pleading, promising you

You are my only wish

CODA

Because once is forever

Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin by Angeline Quinto [Eng Trans]

Kunin Mo Na Ang Lahat Sa Akin

 May gusto ka sa ‘king mahal

May balak kang agawin siya

Itsura pa lang sa ‘kin lamang ka na

Akitin mo siya, siguradong magwawagi ka

Nakikiusap ako sa ‘yo, nagmamakaawa

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa ‘kin, wag lang siya

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin

Wag lang ang aking mahal

Alam kong kaya mong paibigin siya

Sa ‘kin maaagaw mo siya

Pakiusap ko sa’yo

Magmahal ka na lang ng iba

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa ‘kin

Wag lang ang akin mahal

Ikamamatay ng puso ko

Pag sa aki’y inagaw mo siya

May pakikilala ako sa’yo

Kasing kisig ng mahal ko

S’ya na lang ang ibigin mo

Nakikiusap ako sa’yo

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin,  wag lang sya

Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin

Wag lang ang aking mahal

Alam kong kaya mong paibigin siya

Sa ‘kin maaagaw mo siya

Pakiusap ko sa’yo

Magmahal ka na lang ng iba

Just Take Everything That’s Mine

You like the one I love

You plan on taking him from me

With looks alone, you’re already better than me

Seduce him, I’m sure you’ll succeed

I’m asking you, begging

Take everything that’s mine, except him

Take everything that’s mine

Just not the one I love

I know you can make him fall in love with you

You can take him from me

My plea to you

Just love someone else

Take Everything That’s Mine

Just not the one I love

It would kill my heart

If you would take him from me

I’ll introduce someone to you

As lean as my love

Love him instead

I’m asking you, begging

Take everything that’s mine, except him

Take everything that’s mine

Just not the one I love

I know you can make him fall in love with you

You can take him from me

My plea to you

Just love someone else

Untitled Poem

Twinkle Twinkle Five LIttle Stars
How I wonder what's become of you
The thread that binds and pulls you through
the hard times the world has offered you

Up above the world, up there so high
How does it feel to shine in the dark
and be looked up and dreamt of from afar?
What does the night grant a star?

Like five little diamonds in the sky
Forged by time, with tears and sweat
Diamonds aglow, incomparable and yet
Pricey jewels are not sold in set

Twinkle Twinkle Five Little Stars
Now I wonder how you really are
I promise I'll never say goodbye
As I wait for the W in the sky...

Do you know what it is that they call love?

No, the truth is, I have no idea

I don’t know, Yeah~

My heart heats up, and I keep running and tearing it up

What should I do?

Should I go plead on bent knees?

I also don’t know, Yeah~

I keep finding you and I keep running,

Then I’m back to the same spot even when I keep walking

Do you not love me? Do you not want to forget?

Even if I want to start anew

It doesn’t seem as easy for our love

My memories, sweet memories~

I have become someone who can no longer hide it

Forget the old days~

We only need each other

We know it, don’t we

We know, without saying it aloud

Tomorrow, we will shout of a past that isn’t too far

I’m sorry if I can’t say it

I love you, my dear

Perhaps, so many times have I tried to call

I’ve been thinking about what to say…

I also don’t know Yeah~

Even as I fall asleep and wake up, I can’t stop myself from wanting to find you

Look at me, look at the new me

Although it feels awkward because I’ve changed so much, wait

Let’s not be too far apart, this I promise to the world ahead

[Pil. – Tula version]

Nuwebe

Alam mo ba kung ano itong tinatawag nilang pag-ibig?

Hindi, sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam

Hindi ko alam,

Nagliliyab ang aking puso, ako’y tumatakbo hanggang tuluyang mawasak ito

Ano ba ang dapat gawin?

Kailangan bang magmaka-awa nang nakaluhod?

Hindi ko rin alam

Lagi kang natatagpuan, at ako’y tumatakbong muli

Ngunit bumabalik sa pinanggalingan, kahit ‘di naman humihinto

Hindi mo na ba ako mahal? Ayaw mo bang kalimutan?

Gusto ko man ng bagong simula

Tila ‘di ganun kadali para sa ating pagmamahalan

Aking mga alaala, matamis na alaala~

‘Di ko na maitatago pa

Kalimutan na ang nakaraan

Ang isa’t isa ang kailangan

Alam na natin ‘yon, di ba?

Alam na natin, ‘di na kailangang bigkasin

Bukas, isisigaw natin ang ‘di malayong kahapon

Patawad kung ‘di ko masabi,

Mahal kita, giliw

Marahil, ilang beses ko nang sinubukang tumawag

Nag-iisip kung ano ang dapat sabihin~

Hindi ko rin alam,

Matulog man at gumising, ‘di mapigilang gustuhing ika’y hanapin

Pagmasdan mo ako, kung ano ako ngayon

Kahit naiilang, dahil nagbago na nga, teka

Huwag hayaang tayo’y magkakalayo, ito ang aking pangako sa mundong haharapin

Nanghihinayang
By Jeremiah


Inaamin ko nagkamali ako
Inaamin ko nasaktan ko ang puso mo
Iniwan ka nang walang dahilan
Sumama sa iba, hindi man lang ako nagpaalam


Nabalitaan ko lagi ka raw tulala
Dinibdib mo aking pagkawala
Lagi ka raw umiiyak
Lagi mo raw akong hinahanap
'Di ka pa rin nagbabago
Mahal pa rin ako, oh...


Nanghihinayang
Nanghihinayang ang puso ko
Sa piling ko'y lumuha ka lang
Nasaktan lamang kita
Hindi na sana
Hindi na sana iniwan pa
Iniwan kang nag-iisa at nagdurusa
Ako sana'y patawarin na


Nabalitaan ko lagi ka raw tulala
Dinibdib mo aking pagkawala
Lagi ka raw umiiyak
Lagi mo raw akong hinahanap
'Di ka pa rin nagbabago
Mahal pa rin ako, oh...


Nanghihinayang
Nanghihinayang ang puso ko
Sa piling ko'y lumuha ka lang
Nasaktan lamang kita
Hindi na sana
Hindi na sana iniwan pa
Iniwan kang nag-iisa at nagdurusa
Ako sana'y patawarin na


Nanghihinayang
Nanghihinayang ang puso ko
Sa piling ko'y lumuha ka lang
Nasaktan lamang kita
Hindi na sana
Hindi na sana iniwan pa
Iniwan kang nag-iisa at nagdurusa
Ako sana'y patawarin na

Regretful


I confess I made a mistake
I confess I hurt your heart
Left you without a reason
Left with someone else, without even saying goodbye


I heard you were always in a daze
Burdened by my leaving
They said you kept crying
They said you kept looking for me
You never changed
You still love me, Oh~


Regretful
My heart regrets
With me, you only cried
I had only hurt you
I shouldn’t have
I shouldn’t have left you
Left you alone, and in suffering
Wish I could be forgiven


I heard you were always in a daze
Burdened by my leaving
They said you kept crying
They said you kept looking for me
You never changed
You still love me, Oh~


Regretful
My heart regrets
With me, you only cried
I had only hurt you
I shouldn’t have
I shouldn’t have left you
Left you alone, and in suffering
Wish I could be forgiven


Regretful
My heart regrets
With me, you only cried
I had only hurt you
I shouldn’t have
I shouldn’t have left you
Left you alone, and in suffering
Wish I could be forgiven

Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas by Jed Madela/Sharon Cuneta

Song Information:

Title: Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas (Hope It Never Ends)

Lyrics and Music by: Willy Cruz

Interpretations: Sharon Cuneta,

                        Jed Madela (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_npE8vXujs)

SANA’Y WALA NANG WAKAS

Sana'y wala nang wakas
Kung pag-ibig ay wagas
Paglalambing sa 'yong piling
Ay ligaya kong walang kahambing

Refrain:
Kung 'di malimot ng tadhana
Bigyang tuldok ang ating ligaya
Walang hanggan ay hahamakin
'Pagkat walang katapusan kitang iibigin

Chorus:
Kahit na ilang tinik ay kaya kong tapakan
Kung 'yan and paraan upang landas mo'y masundan
Kahit ilang ulit ako'y iyong saktan
Hindi kita maaring iwanan

Kahit ilang awit ay aking aawitin
Hanggang ang himig ko'y maging himig mo na rin
Kahit ilang dagat ang dapat tawirin
Higit pa riyan ang aking gagawin

Sana'y wala nang wakas
(Sana'y wala nang wakas)
Kapag hapdi ay lumipas
Ang mahalaga ngayon ay pag-asa (pag-asa)
Dala ng pag-ibig, saksi buong daigdig
(Saksi buong daigdig)

Repeat Refrrain
Repeat Chorus

Hope It Never Ends

I hope it never ends

If love is pure

Tenderness when we’re together

Is a joy nothing can compare

If fate will not forget

To put an end to our joy

I will despise eternity

For I will love you endlessly

It matters not how many thorns I have to step on
If that’s the only way to follow your path
It matters not how many times you have hurt me
I cannot allow myself to leave you

It matters not how many songs, I will sing them

Until my melody becomes your melody as well

It matters not how many oceans I have to cross

I will do more than that

I hope it never ends (I hope it never ends)

If the pain doesn’t pass

For now, what’s important is hope (hope)

Brought by love, the world is a witness

(the world is a witness)

Ngayon at Kailanman by Basil Valdez

Another Flashback!

Here’s another favorite song from the old days.

Song Information:

Title: Ngayon at Kailanman (Lit. Now and Whenever)

Composed by: George Canseco

Artist: Basil Valdez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12ld6ZInFSA)

[OPM]

NGAYON AT KAILANMAN

Ngayon at kailanman
Sumpa ko’y iibigin ka
Ngayon at kailanman
Hindi ka na mag-iisa
Ngayon at kailanman
Sa hirap o ginhawa pa
Asahan may kasama ka sinta
Naroroon ako t’wina
Maaasahan mo t’wina
Ngayon at kailanman

Dahil kaya sa ‘yo ng maitadhanang
Ako’y isilang sa mundo
Upang sa araw-araw ay siyang makapiling mo
Upang ngayon at kailanman
Ikaw ay mapalingkuran hirang
Bakit labis kitang mahal
Pangalawa sa Maykapal
Higit sa ‘king buhay

[refrain]
Sa bawat araw ang pag-ibig ko sa ‘yo liyag
Lalong tumatamis, tumitingkad
Bawat kahapon ay daig nitong bawat ngayon
Na daig ng bawat bukas

Malilimot ka lang
Kapag ang araw at bituin ay di na matanaw
Kapag tumigil ang daigdig at di ‘na gumalaw
Subalit isang araw pa matapos ang mundo’y nagunaw na
Hanggang doon magwawakas pag-ibig kong sadyang wagas
Ngayon at kailanman

[repeat refrain]

Labis kitang mahal (ngayon at kailanman)
Langit may kasama ka (ngayon at kailanman)
Ngayon at kailanman

[ENG]

NOW AND FOREVER

Now and Forever

I promise to love you

Now and Forever

You will never be alone

Now and Forever

In difficult times or in comfort

Have faith, you will never be alone, darling

Right away, I will be there

You can always depend on me

Now and Forever

Might you be the reason, that I was fated

To be born into this world

To always keep you company

So that now and forever

I can serve you, my chosen one

Why do I love you so much?

Next to God

More than my life

 [refrain]

In every day, my love for you, sweetheart

Grows even sweeter, brighter

Each day is always better than each yesterday

And each tomorrow is even better than today

I will only forget

If the sun and the stars are no longer in sight,

If the world stops turning, and doesn’t move anymore,

But only a day after the world ends

Only until then will my pure love end

Now and Forever

[refrain]

I love you so much (now and forever)

Even in Heaven, I will be with you (now and forever)

Now and forever

Translated by : Delphin Rue

So many terms of endearment were used in the song – liyag, hirang, sinta. I’m not sure about their exact English equivalent, but the ones used above are the closest that I can recall. (I don’t know why but some of these terms of endearment give me goosebumps.)

I just had a sudden realization that the Filipino language can be so deep and so wide that one finds it hard to translate it into another language...
