Tara Na

Panay ang lingon at daplis tingin
Pero puro keme pa ang iyong dating
Merong gustong gawin mamaya sa lilim
Halika nga dito sa aking piling

Tara na
Tara na

Huwag mahiya at bumulong
Napapalapit na ang pasko
Tayo’y magbigayan ng regalo
Doon sa silid tayo’y magsalo

Tara na
Kung ayaw, di huwag
Tara na
Kung ayaw, next time na lang

Ikaw dapat ang mauna
Di pwedeng sa’kin lahat ang gawa
Kung hindi, mahirap na
Mahirap tumindig sa wala

Tara na
Kung ayaw, di huwag
Tara na
Ayaw mo e, di huwag

Tara na
Akala ko gusto mo? Tara na!
Tara na
Sige na, ikaw na maiwan jan. Bahala ka na

Nano Naan

Nano, nano, nano naan…
Nano, nano, nano naan…

Nano, nano, nano naan…
Nano, nano, nano naan…

Naan, na-naan, na-naan, na-naan
Naan, na-naan, na-naan, na-naan

I’m so hungry for just one piece
Of that bread pretty pretty please
You can give it to me as a gift
You can give my spirit a lift

Naan, na-naan, na-naan, na-naan
Naan, na-naan, na-naan, na-naan

Bow-wow-wow, wow-wow, wow-wow, wow-wow
Bow-wow-wow, wow-wow, wow-wow, wow-wow

Nano, nano, nano naan… Je je je je
Nano, nano, nano naan… Je jeje je ajuju ajuju ajaja ajaja shishe jaja

(To fade)

Not As Lucky

Mommy
Daddy
Babyooey

Mommy
Daddy
Babyooey

I am
Happy
this holiday
I’m with family

I know
some babies
who’re not as lucky
as me

While I’m counting gifts
They’re counting their scars
I have a roof, food and drink
While they stare at stars

Mommy
Daddy
Babyooey

Mommy
Daddy
Babyooey

It’s cooler times,
we drive around,
come home, sit by
the fire

I know
some kids
they’re wondering
if there is life

After the boom,
Homes of my friends crumblin’
Men in boots who act like goons
When will it ever end?

(Instrumental)

Mommy
Daddy
Babyooey

Maligayang Paskoooo

Lumalamig
Ang ihip
Ng hangin
Magmula sa umaga

Napa-isip
Kapiling
Aking hiling

Maligayang paskoooo….
Maligayang paskoooo….

Malayo
Ang trabaho
Maka-ipon
At maka-uwi din ako

Magkasama
Pamilya
Kumakanta

Maligayang paskoooo….
Maligayang paskoooo….

(Change beat)

Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali…

Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali-maligayang
Mali-mali…

Maligayang paskoooo….
(Kung kasama, pamilya, masasabi na…)
Maligayang paskoooo….
(Kumpleto, magsasalo, pasalamat…)

Maligayang paskoooo….
(Kung kasama, pamilya, masasabi na…)
Maligayang paskoooo….
(Kumpleto, magsasalo, pasalamat…)

HELE

Mahal ka ni Nanay
At ni Tatay
At ng Diyos Maykapal

Mahal ka ni Kuya
At ni Ate
At ng Diyos Maykapal

Mahal ka ni Lolo
At ni Lola
At ng Diyos Maykapal

HANGGANG KAILAN

Andito ako
Sa may telepono
Naghihintay pakapit 
Na ika'y makapiling

Ang pagmamahal ko
At ang buong puso
Naghihintay nang kapit
Sa tanging marikit

Hanggang kailan ba ang walang hanggan?
Hanggang dun sana tayo'y magliligawan
Hanggang saan ba ang kalangitan?
Hanggang dun sana ang ating pagmamahalan

Tatlong bentesinko
Ipan-tatawag ko
Liit ng ligaya
Sandali lang makausap ka

Ang tanging nais ko
Ang mag-isang puso
Sa aking pagninilay
Hawak-kamay sana habang buhay

Hanggang kailan ba ang walang hanggan?
Hanggang dun sana tayo'y magliligawan
Hanggang saan ba ang kalangitan?
Hanggang dun sana ang ating pagmamahalan

Did You Turn The Lights Off?

Did you turn the lights off? 
Did you forget it again? 
Did you turn the lights off? 
Should I turn it off myself? 

Every morning you wake up 
You forget to turn the lights off 
Every morning when I can, 
I can do it if you need my help 

Did you turn the lights off? 
Did you leave an open door? 
I can help you find your phone 
I can also leave you alone 

Every morning you wake up 
You forget to turn the lights off 
Every morning when I can, 
I can do it if you need my help 

Missed to put your glasses on? 
Dishes pilin' up again? 
Did you turn the lights off? 
Should I turn it off… 

I got this thingamajiggy, yo yeah that's me 
Can't sit still, can't focus, can't remember, I can't be 
Like the other kids who do their work with ease 
I'm always restless, distracted, and feeling the squeeze 
 Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in 
Like I'm always out of sync, like I'm always on the brink 
Of losing control, of messing up, of letting people down 
But then I remember that I'm not alone, that I'm not a clown 
I know it's hard to live with this thingamajiggy 
It's a challenge every day, it's a struggle to stay ... on track 
But I also know that it's a gift, that it's a part of me 
That makes me unique, that makes me shine, that makes me rap, you see? 
Some people think that this thing is a curse 
That it's a disorder, that it is something worse 
Than being normal, than being average, than being plain 
But I don't listen to them, don't let them get in my brain 
Some people try to label, putting me in a box 
To say that I'm lazy & stupid, that I'm a paradox 
Of success and failure, of potential and waste 
But I don't let them do that, I don't let them erase 
But I don't let it stop me, I don't let it define me 
I got skills and talents that you can't deny me 
I'm creative, energetic, I'm a star in the making 
I got this thingamajiggy but I'm not faking

Not Gonna Be Without You

18 October 2010, 9:08pm

If I’m going to Tokyo
If I’m going to Texas
I will dance in Rio
I’m going to New York
I’ll see you at Times Square
Or what about Haiti

I’ll take a photo
But not without you
If you go to heaven
If I go to hell
We’ll do church on Sundays
Lord, this is my wife
It just won’t be fair
And I am here

I might go to Vigan,
Let’s go to Bali
I’m going to Melbourne
I'll visit Jerusalem  
If they invent space travel
And when I have enough
Or wherever you will be
Or wherever you will be 

(It's) not gonna be without you
I’ll bring you there
But only with you
You will be there
And I’ll hold your hands
I’d still be there with you

of the Eiffel Tower
Or of me and you
I’ll go with you
(Well, let's hope that doesn't happen!)
I'll always say this prayer
and I love her with my life
If she is somewhere there
Please hear my prayer!

Cairo or China
Just be with me
I’ll be with you
Of course, still with you
I will save money
Let’s go to the moon
Or wherever you will be
I’ll be always here for you

Love You Forevermore

I’ll
be right here
by your side
always…
and I’ll
make sure
we see
your dreams
come true
as mine
has, with
the gift
of you

I
love you
forevermore
and I
promise to
take care
of you
I promise this
to God
as well

Promise

2008?

You're there for me everyday
You've loved me in a very special way
And even in my sleep
Just thoughts of you are treasures I keep

When I wake in the morning
You just shine in my life
When I walk in the evening time
I would walk with you through the night

I can see your reflection
In every little thing 'round me
There's only appreciation
That you are God's gift to me (For all my life, you have blessed me)

And I make this promise
That I will only love you more everyday

Mara

(Original Title: “You Are”)
5 March 2008

You are... a beautiful name
in my heart. I'm forever grate-ful
for you. I can only love you

I know. We are meant to be
Together. We'll walk through this life
with each other. I just know.

I find the comfort in your words
and your arms just speak love to me
like no other. I can only love you more

And more, you'll see through this life
I will continue to give all I
have, you just let me show
you just let me show my love.

jitters

2001

i know how i feel
and it hasn’t changed since
the very first moment you walked in my life

i’ve told you about it
you thought i was not sincere
but baby it’s very clear that i was right

now the time has come to spill it out
let it be known...

but something’s wrong!

i feel the jitters when i am with you
i don’t know why, but i just do
i feel the jitters when i’m close to you
wanna tell you how i feel but i just can’t seem to

it doesn’t mean that
i’m lying to you if
i cannot pronounce these words in my heart

but please give me a chance to prove
that it is your presence that makes my life move

i can only keep it for so very long
gonna tell you know...

but something’s wrong!

i feel the jitters when i talk to you
i don’t know why, but i just do
i feel the jitters when i’m close to you
wanna tell you how i feel but i just can’t seem to

still

2000

i do still love you
there is no other beautiful one but you
and i really love you
there will be no other girl but you

i see the future in your eyes
the world is happy when you smile

and your soul can wipe all the tears dry
and your heart can make me cry


i know i only have time
as my heart desires in making you mine
because girl you’re in my mind

every minute, every second of my life
and it’s only in your arms that i’ll be fine
you’re my “one and only you”

when

29 september 1999

when we’re 70, i’d love to sing these songs to you
and i always dream forever it’ll be just me & you
whisper sweet nothings & hellos, give little hugs at the park
ever after, we’ll be happily exchanging hearts
till the end of time

day one, we first met and it was when
things begun and i knew it since then
but you had to leave very early
next thing you know, i just saw you in my dreams

day two, we were talking like we were good friends
and true enough, we were, since then
i knew there’ll be day one million and eighty
i had to, i had to live this dream

Monday, September 13, 1993

i love you

(alternate title: indecent proposal)
september 1993

you're the first thought on my mind
when i wake up
search my heart and you will find
your beautiful name
there's no doubt you're the only one
who'll forever stay
please don't go away from my side
i've got something to say...

yeah...
open your eyes to me,
and baby can't you see?

i love you...

looking deep into your eyes
i can feel it is so true
holding tight your soft hands
i will love only you
there are no questions about my ways
i will give everything
all you have to do is to know that i love you
and that you make me sing

yeah...
tickle me with your smile
and baby, baby, please...

i love you... there's no doubt it's only you
i love you... i can feel it is so true...
i love you... everything i will do
all for you... forever loving only you...

cryin’

26 april 1993

she was introduced to me
when i was at this party
of a friend who, later i found out
was really the man she really loved

i know it hurts and cuts deep inside
people are saying, get her off of my mind
but what if you can’t like she is your heart
you could lose a life if you pull it apart?

oh i was cryin’
learnin’ the one i love loved someone else
and how i was dyin’
‘cause it’s sad to know the one she loves is a friend

now i don’t really know what i felt
but i know, i know, i cared for her
but when i knew that she loved someone else
i kept cryin’ and cryin’ in myself

it hurt so much that i’d rather be dead
than lyin’ down and cryin’ in bed
people say, just try to forget
that she will be okay with a friend

Wednesday, March 31, 1993

give you everything

(alternate title: "give u everything")
march 1993

give you everything
my heart will
give you everything
just ask for it baby
everything
i will
give you everything

you are the one in my life
who will be here by my side
forever we’ll be in love
and i’ll give you things that you’ve never dreamed of

just ask for it baby

you are the one in my life
forever in my mind
no doubt i’ll love only you
and all i have will be just for you
