they call it drowning your sorrows

but your sorrows know how to swim

and it’s you that ends up drowning

as your thoughts tear you limb from limb

eto nanaman ako, magpopost nanaman ng lyrics ng kanta na hindi naman ako ang sumulat o kumanta. sabaw day yesterday with recently rediscovered old friend ave, while lounging around circus and attempting to cure a hangover with coffee, yosi and kung fu hustle, made me wonder if i might be capable of pulling a sophie fisher one day. ha! unlikely, seeing as i can’t be bothered with pursuing creative inclinations just yet (in other words, tamad).

kaya eto, sabay-sabay nating pagnilay-nilayan ang mga letrang isinulat ng ninong ko at inawit ng apo kasama si kuh ledesma, with special participation by the one and only megastar para sa mga bahaging binigkas at hindi inawit.

HUWAG MASANAY SA PAGMAMAHAL

DIALOGUE 1:
G – Pinangako mo sa akin ang lahat ngunit ang pag-uwi lang ng maaga ay hindi mo pa matupad
B – O, ayan ka na naman sa drama mo
G – Aminin mo na na nagbago ka na. Dati nilalambing mo ‘ko, kinakarinyo, sinusuyo
B – Eh dati, (G – ngayon, ngayon, hu, uhu,hu) eh paano naman ako gaganahan eh puro ka nalang dada diyan
G – hu, uhu,hu
B – Tumigil ka, tumigil ka na diyan sabi eh….. etong …..um (sinampal)
G – Walanghiya ka, taksil
B – Tumahimik ka diyan
G – Pinabayaan mo ako dito
B – Tumahimik ka!

HUWAG NA HUWAG MASANAY SA PAGMAMAHAL
KAPAG NASANAY KA, NAKU KAWAWA KA
HINDI LANG BASTA-BASTA ANG PAGMAMAHAL
KAPAG UMIBIG KA TILA MAY ABALA
IBANG-IBA ANG BUHAY MO KAPAG NAG-IISA
WALANG INAASIKASONG PROBLEMA NG IBA
KAYA KUNG NAG-AALINLANGAN MAGMAHAL
ANG PAYO KO SA ‘YO AY HUWAG NA LANG

(Kuh)
BAKIT PARANG UMAANGAL KA NGAYON
NGAYON AT NASA IYO NA ANG PAG-IBIG KO
HINDI BA KELAN LAMANG NUNG SINABI MO
WALANG IBANG GUSTO PARA SA BUHAY MO
GANYAN BA TALAGA ANG KWENTO NG PAGMAMAHAL
PARANG ‘SANG GAYUMA NA HINDI NAGTATAGAL
KAYA KUNG NAG-AALINLANGANG MAGMAHAL
ANG PAYO KO SA ‘YO AY HUWAG NA LANG

(APO & Kuh)
REFRAIN:
BAKIT AYAW NG NAG-IISA
KAILANGAN PANG MERONG KASAMA
KASAMA NA NAGDADALA LAMANG NG SAKIT NG ULO
(Kuh)
HUWAG MONG PASUKAN KUNG HINDI MO KAYA
ANG BUHAY NG MAYROONG KASAMA
MABUTI PANG MAIWAN NA NAG-IISA
WALA PANG ABALA

DIALOGUE 2:
G – hu, uhu,hu
B – Ayaw mo talagang tumigil hah
G – Walanghiya ka, walanghiya ka talaga, bayaran mo na ang utang mo
B – BAka gusto mong, aba, binaon pa ngayon

LALALALALALA

(APO & Kuh)
IBANG-IBA ANG BUHAY KAPAG NAG-IISA
WALANG INAASIKASONG PROBLEMA NG IBA
KAYA KUNG NAG-AALINLANGANG MAGMAHAL
ANG PAYO KO SA ‘YO AY HUWAG NA LANG
ANG PAYO KO SA ‘YO AY HUWAG NA LANG

here’s to impromptu lemonade rum and finding one last yosi in a pack that you thought was empty.

deadma sa multiple mosquito bites.

I’m Yours by Jason Mraz

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i’m tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i’ll be givin it my best test
and nothin’s gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you’re free
look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It’s your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won’t hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i’m sure
there’s no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i’m yours

*scat*

I’ve been spendin’ way too long checkin’ my tongue in the mirror
and bendin’ over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’m a sayin’is there ain’t no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it’s what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i’m sure
(there’s no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, i’m yours 2x

no please don’t complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don’t hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you’re free
look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it’s your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you’re free
look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it’s our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it’s you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved…

Marami-rami na rin akong naranasan
Napagdaanan sa buhay.
Maraming kalokohan
Kasayahan
Kalungkutan
Pagdadalamhati
Hinagpis
Alam ko kung paano ang masaktan
Lumuha
Tumawa
Maging loka-loka
Mabaliw
Umibig.

Siguro ganun lang talaga
Ang umunlad
Ang madulas
Ang huminga
Ang magpahinga
Ang mapagod
Ang magpatuloy
Ang mabuhay.

Marami akong inakala
At maraming hindi aakalain.
Maraming natutunan
Maraming patuloy na pinagaaralan
Paulit-ulit na binabalikan
Iniiwan
Pinag-iisipan
Ninanamnam
Kinalilimutan
Tinatandaan.

Siguro ganun lang talaga
Ang umunlad
Ang madulas
Ang huminga
Ang magpahinga
Ang mapagod
Ang magpatuloy
Ang mabuhay.

Punong-puno ang bawat taon
Kahit na puno rin ng paghihintay
Ng puwang sa panahon
Ng kakulangan sa kaalaman at karanasan
Ng mga minuto, oras, araw na tila walang mga laman
O saysay.

Siguro ganun lang talaga
Ang umunlad
Ang madulas
Ang huminga
Ang magpahinga
Ang mapagod
Ang magpatuloy
Ang mabuhay.

Siguro ganun lang talaga
Ang umunlad
Ang madulas
Ang huminga
Ang magpahinga
Ang mapagod
Ang magpatuloy
Ang mabuhay.

by Pablo Neruda

Love floods the tree of

our blood like a sap

and distills its strange odor from

the seed of our physical ravishments:

the sea enters us utterly

and the ravenous night,

the soul veers out of plumb, and within you

two bells sound in the bone

and nothing remains but your body’s

weight on my own, another time spent.

by Shel Silverstein

listen to the mustn’ts, child
listen to the don’ts
listen to the shouldn’ts
the impossibles, the won’ts
listen to the never haves
then listen close to me –
anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

1 august 2005

slowly

like a tear trickling down your cheek

time passes

rivers ebb and flow

should i have listened when i was told?

but to have reckoned would have to been to lose

so much

my eyes speak volumes

of truths and trials

but no eyes can meet mine

no one can bear to see

what i hesitate to show

and yet scream for the world to know

i take a step forward

then take two steps back

no time to stop and breathe

the music never ends.

the crazy dance continues

caught in a loop, a trance

a dream

a whispered prayer.
