Awit sa Anghel

I.
Ipirong na an simong mga mata,
an puso mo ipahingalo na;
ta nagrararom na ining pagkabanggi,
abang ugmang aldaw an nakaagi.

II.
Saaga na ipadagos an pagkawat,
an simong mga hapot pati harakhatak.
Tuninong na an saimong palibot,
Tatamungan taka, kukuguson sa lipot.

Refrain.
Anghel ko na labi-kapadangat,
itiklop na an simong mga pakpak.
Iuntok nguna an saimong paglupad.
Pagmata kan saldang satong itutugkad.

O, Anghel ko na labi kapadangat.
magturog nang may ngirit na walat.
Ika an pagkaaga, ika an kaugmahan.
Pagturog mo sakong babantayan.

III.
Halion an gabos na handal o takot.
Anuman na ribaraw dai ko itutugot.
Saimo an gabos, an bilog na kinaban,
mantang ako saimong kaibahan.

Turog na.

Antisipasyon (Orchestrated)

Hello friends! Sharing this wonderful song with you. Dedicated to our Lola who's celebrating her 1st anniversary in heaven. Sung by my cousin, Dothy, music by yours truly. 


A Year After


This is just another sad song that I made
But don’t worry because I did my best to keep it happy
there are many things that happened to me lately
Oh I wonder your reactions when you hear my story.

Well, I’m about to finish my high school
But I still don’t know what course I should choose
You know I love science but I think it’s not something to boast
I bet you’d say just choose what I like the most

If in case you that don’t know, I’m in love with a guy
He’s a member of band but he’s too far away
I know that it’s weird saying this to you oh--oh
I just wanted to say that I miss you, and that you know.

Its been a year, a very slowly year
I wonder what would happen if you were here
Although I cannot see you, I feel your presence near.
I will hold you close in memory,
Till I drop my very last tear.

Today is the day you went up in heaven
I wonder what it looks like there
Can you count how many angels and rainbows all around you?
Can you see my guardian angel there?
I bet you're wearing the biggest smile today

A Year After

Hematia Man

Uunahin Ko Kayo
Composed by Gary Granada

Uunahin kita inay sa malubha mong karamdaman
At kakalungin sa bisig ko ang mahinang katawan
Magdamag kitang babantayan sa luksa at lumbay ng kadiliman
At ipapanalangin kong makita mo ang kariktan

Uunahin kita anak upang ika'y makapag-aral
At sa bawat layunin mo'y karamay sa pagpapagal
Sa kandungan ng kapayapaan, sa landas ng pagkakapantay-pantay
Ihahanda ko ang daigdig sa masagana mong buhay

Mas mahalaga sa akin ang iyong kinbukasan
Ang mga mas pangunahin na mga pangangailangan
Ang pangarap nang marami sa mundo
Ay hindi ko hahayaang mabigo

Uunahin kita mahal sa munti nating tahanan
Dito sa lupang binubungkal, lupang ating kinagisnan
At palagi kong pagsisikapan matagal na nating adhikain
Isang malayang sambayanan sa malayang lupain

Mas mahalaga sa akin ang iyong kinbukasan
Ang mga mas pangunahin na mga pangangailangan
Ang pangarap nang marami sa mundo
Ay hindi ko hahayaang mabigo

Uunahin kita mahal sa munti nating tahanan
Dito sa lupang binubungkal, lupang ating kinagisnan
At palagi kong pagsisikapan matagal na nating adhikain
Isang malayang sambayanan sa malayang lupain

Uunahin, uunahin ko kayo

Uunahin Ko Kayo

Bilog ng buhay—
Tayo'y  magkaugnay.
Ikaw at ako, sa diwa at damdamin,
pinagtagpo.

Bilog ng buhay—
Tayo'y maglalakbay,
Hawak kamay, magkaisa ang nais.
Kaibigang tunay.

Koro 1:

Sa karaniwang palad
Munti man ang pag-asa,
Nilimot man ng mundo,
Kasa-kasama mo
Kakalagin 
ang gapos ng nakaraan      
At huhubugin ang landasing
mapayapa't marangal

Bilog ng buhay—
Tayo'y magkapantay       
Hindi handlang ang uri at kulay
Magkaakbay.

Koro 2:

Sa maunlad na antas
ng ating pamumumuhay
Na may wasto at sapat
Na isip at puso
Lilikhain
isang bayan na nagmamahal

At sisikaping, aadhikaing
Isang magalak na tahanan.

Bilog Ng Buhay

Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel) Multitrack Cover

Did you know that Harana was not originally composed by Parokya ni Edgar? The song was actually written by Eric “Yappy” Yaptangco, a 19-year-old Ateneo student in the late ‘80s. Before it was ever recorded, Harana was an unofficial courtship song passed down among Ateneo students, sung during serenades (ligaw) to express love in the most heartfelt way.

The song remained within the Ateneo community until Tony Lambino, then a young singer, recorded it in 1992. Years later, word of the song reached Chito Miranda, who turned it into the OPM classic we know today.

From a barkada’s simple tradition to a nationwide anthem of romance, Harana continues to remind us of the beauty of old-fashioned love and music.

This is my attempt to cover the song, preserving Yappy's original lyrics and how Tony sang it.

Uso pa ba ang harana? 
Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka.
Sino ba tong mukhang gagong
Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
At nasisintunado sa kaba?

Mayron pang dalang mga rosas
Suot nama'y maong na kupas 
Kasama pa nya ang barkadang 
Nakaporma't nakabarong 
At sa awit daig pa 
Ang minus one at sing-along

Puno ang langit ng bitwin
at kay lamig pa ng hangin
Sa iyong tingin ako'y nababaliw... Giliw

At sa awitin kong ito sana'y maibigan mo
Ibubuhos buong puso ko
Sa isang munting harana para sayo

Di ba't parang galing sine?
Isang eksenang romantiko
ikaw nga ang bidang artista
At ako nama'y leading man
Sa sineng nagtatapos sa pag-ibig na lubos


Uso pa ba ang harana? 
Marahil ngayon ay alam mo na
Basta't para sayo hirang, Kahit na magmukhang hibang
Tutup'din ang lahat liyag,
Pagka't ako'y iyong bihag
At mahal kita sinta.

Harana (Cover)

Yaon Ka, Mayo Ka Na Liwat

Minasungko ka pa nanggad
Sa sakong mga pangiturogan, 
baru banggi na sana kitang nagkakahilingan
pinaparumdom sakuya kan satuyang iribanan, 
kan satuyang mga inagihan 

Hararom na an pagkabanggi 
asin an sa sakong pagturog, 
naalimpungatan ako sa saimong tingog, 
sa saimong lawog sa paghunang yaon ka sana sa taid ko 
nangingiturogan lang palan ako.

Chorus:
Sa pagabot kan kada aga, minapukaw sakuya an sinag kan aldaw
asin an doros na minasabi sakuya    na mayo ka na- 
 
Ata, Ano pa baya an makulog kaiyan, na bago pa man magpuon an ngunian
Ano pang sirbi kan pagmata kun mayo ka na

na puon pa sana sa puon, mayo ka na talaga.

Yaon Ka, Mayo Ka Na Liwat

Co-written by Neph Botor, Different Worlds is a song that tries to explain a failed relationship and how it was beautiful despite both lovers now living in separate worlds.


Must have tried too much to bring us on the same plane —
Tried to swim in your infinite world
Must have tried too much to keep you in my small room
When you deserve the moon

Must have tried too much to keep you with me

Refrain: 

And now I learn that you and I are from different worlds
Wrote our own stories we tried.
It was all beautiful but we ended up tired
For you and I are from different worlds
When will we ever meet eye to eye 
(when will we ever meet) You and I.

With the all years that we have been together, 
I swear I love it all
The love we thought would last forever,
Now we take the curtain call

Must have tried too much to keep you with me
I can't help but cry too much for setting you free

Refrain: 

'Coz now I learned that you and I are from different worlds
Wrote our own stories we tried.
It was all beautiful but we ended up tired
For you and I are from different worlds
When will we ever meet eye to eye 
(Will we really meet) You and I.

Different Worlds

"Kita" is a Bikol song that dissects the affection and relationship between the lover and the beloved using common dichotomies and relationships found everywhere in the world—the flower and garden, the ring and the gem, the river and the current. This magnification of endearment is used to manifest, and rather heighten, human love.

Antisipasyon

Igwa nin halabaon na panahon
sa pag-ultanan kan paghalat asin kan pagdatong—

arog kan mga huring aldaw kun sain
an tag-init nagiging uran.

Kun panong an tubig, haros,
nasa satong mga palad o, garo mga kristal,

minadukot sa satong mga buhok, haros—
haros sana, asin mayo pa.




Anticipation


There is a very long time
between the waiting and the coming—

like the last few days that turn
summer into rain.

How we feel the water, almost,
in our palms; crystal-like,

clinging to the strands of our hair, almost—
almost, and yet not there.

Antisipasyon

It's been years since I uploaded a track in Soundcloud. Just wanted to share with you my cover of "Nosi Balasi" of Sampaguita that sits well with "Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo" of Yano.

Also, I'm excited to use this midi controller I bought from Lazada last month. Lol!
