Back when I was in the clubbing and pubbing scene, my work used to take me outstation, I got hook on this sentimental Tagalog song, a Filipino song. This song is about a man who was disappointed because he just found the right one for him inspite that he is already tied up to someone else. Raymond (a keyboardist of a band) sang this so well he recorded it for me. I love this song along the same lines I love "Anak"
On Sat it was surprising that the band on stage stated belting out this song and it made me smile. I sang along. I do miss the pairing of Gogs & Rozana, Raymond, Baby Chimpanzee & Baby Gorilla, anyway here is the song and the translation. (Svejjen, its a song worthy of listening to)
Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang (Ogie Alcasid)
Bakit ngayon ka lang, Bakit ngayon kung kailan ang aking puso'y
Mayroon nang laman
Sana'y nalaman ko, Na darating ka sa buhay ko
'Di sana, naghintay ako
Pre-chorus:
Ikaw sana ang aking yakap-yakap
Ang iyong kamay lagi ang aking hawak
At hindi kanya (at hindi kanya)
Chorus:
Bakit ngayon ka lang, Dumating sa buhay ko
Pilit binubuksan ang sarado ko na'ng puso
Ikaw ba'y nararapat sa akin
At sya ba'y dapat ko nang limutin
Nais kong malaman, Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating
(repeat Pre-chorus)
(repeat chorus 2x)
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Why only now....
Why only is it now that my heart needs?
It now has found out.....
I wish that I'd found out
That you would come into my life
Then I would have waited
Pre-chorus:
You were supposed to have been the one for me to hug
Your hand always for me to hold instead of hers
Chorus:
Why only now....
Is it that you arrive in my life
I'm forcing to open my closed heart
You are the only one for me
Even though I want to forget you
I want to know...why is is now that you arrive in my life
I love this song.

My brother in law is a Philipino... cool?
I didn't say it wasn't good.
I LOVED the harmony. It's not often a song grabs me by it's harmony...
Didn't you see me playing the piano, classical guitar and lead guitar at the same time?
Like I said, it's not often a song reminds of my fav. duet.
I always like it when a song requires two people singing in harmony, each holding their own tune.
Esp. when it's a song like this that can make u cry...
Angie... so disappointed in you... you didn't recognize me :P
Svejjen u play guitar! acoustic? ggrr r u one of the slow only fellas or u enjoy the likes of Joe Satriani / Santana /G3...u must be a cool dude
nice song why the singer want suffer tell wife sorry met better one divorce drive off to the sunset with new one or can cheat till wife find out suffer suffer maybe divorce him or kill herself like Filipino soap operas. If the singer stoped looking and focused on wife the other would have not existed to him
itchy hands must comment...
to me its a song that reminds us that we are only human...we may not make the right choices in life, we may get tempted to slide off the track and we do..sometimes we find our way back on the track...sometimes we dont...and sometimes we stay the course..
Everyone wishes life to be like a soap with easy choices and clear cut details...but then that would be a soap and not life......
Meaningful (sorrowful...??) song...
Here's t wishing each one of us will find da right person to live wif forever n ever, amen!
Hugzz
Pammers
Each song each rhythm is personal and meaningful ot each one of us here. Do not for a second try to tarnish that reason by accusing and assuming some other scenerio.
Do not not judge for other but only on to your self.
Today I have a CD of this song and recorded for me by my filipino fren Raymond, I miss a dear fren like him.
This one CD I never leave home without. The rest who dun know me dun judge what this song means to me coz it only show how low you have become
wahliao emo fuckin song
heh..
I recognize u la... ;P Just that I am shy... but I did shake hand with you, ok? U also didnt recognize me! U buat buat didnt kenal me... :P haha!
me can only offer me huggies ... u're such a darling
funky vibe,
I'm into anything that gets my emotions high where music is concerned. It's not a matter of whether the music is fast or slow, it's more that I prefer music with emotions.
The rawer the emotion, the better.
It's like listening to songs like Matchbox 20's "Push", which is full of anger (makes you want to kick something... ahaks... remember performing that one and grabbing the mike stand and flailing that one all over the place).
The problem with songs like this is that there ain't many of them in any one single song writer/singer.
It's a soul thing, I suppose.
Svejjen,
Lets hear it again 'Rob Thomas' Rob Thomas - GOD of angry songs...lol..Matchbox20 better not lose him
I love putting him full blast singing 'This is how the heart breaks'- and doing 150 (on a kanchil lo)....yet hear him steal ur heart and make u cry with 'ever the same'....yeap i get u when u speak raw emotions ....probably thats why i still love some rock groups....and the voice of barrywhite damn that man gives me an orgasm each time ...lol...maybe i can catch u elsewhere on chat -dun think its right to use Vadai's blog...cheers thanks
I was so happy when we met. I really wanna thank you for being there when I was feeling sad. You made me forget all bad things that I have been thinking about these past few months… You really are a good friend.
I was telling the truth when I said I hoped you’ll find someone new… I was afraid the first time I noticed you’re beginning to like me. You know I don’t wanna hurt you in any way, babe. I don’t want you to get hurt.
I wasn’t surprised when you asked me to be your girl. I know it’ll happen… I’m sorry but I didn’t want you to stop liking me. That time I already know my feelings for you. I can’t let you go. You made me fall for you, babe. I didn’t plan to feel that way… To be in a relationship when I know I wasn’t sure if I’m ready to give love to someone else…
I lied to you when I say I don’t have a boyfriend… Coz honestly, I already have a boyfriend… Already have since college.. We didn’t get along the time we met… Believe me, I didn’t want to say something or do something bad to you. Every time you talk about your past experiences… I always feel guilty… that I wanna tell you the truth. But I don’t wanna lose you. I can’t hurt you. It’s true when I said I wanna protect you from anyone or anything that can harm you. I really feel so protective of you…. And I wish I can just love you like the way you love me…. I know I promised not to leave you…ever… You can still count on that…. I just feel like I’m so attached with you already. That I don’t want to lose you…
My feelings for you…. They’re all true, babe. My conscience keeps on bothering me from the first time we met… But can you blame me if I fell in love with you this much? You made me fall for you… You just don’t know how you make me happy everyday… And even the thought of you makes me smile…whenever and wherever I go.
There were nights that I cried coz I kept on thinking what am I gonna do…
I’m really sorry, babe. I really wish we can share our lives together….. I feel like I always need to be there beside you.. to protect you.. to comfort you…
Bakit ngayon ka lang?
It can't get any better than this.
