Walang Hanggang Paalam

this is perhaps one of the sweetest tagalog songs i know. in fact, i know it by heart. weird, you may say, because this was written and sung by Joey Ayala, who is known for his ethnic music.

my Joey Ayala influence actually came from my brother. when i was in high school, i used to listen to his music and some of them are actually soothing. i even memorized most, if not all, of them. and this one for me is the most endearing of all.

i used to imagine that this is a love song. now, reading between the lines especially the chorus part, i could very well sing it to my little one.

what do you think of this song? isn't it beautiful? wait til you actually hear it--it is very melodramatic.

-----------------------------------
di ba tayo’y narito
upang maging malaya
at upang palayain ang iba
ako’y walang hinihiling
Ika’y tila ganoon din
sadya’y bigyang-laya ang isa’t-isa

*
ang pagibig natin ay
walang hanggang paalam
at habang magkalayo
papalapit pa rin ang puso
kahit na magkahiwalay
tayo ay magkasama
sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo

ang bawat simula ay
siya ring katapusan
may patutunguhan ba
ang ating pagsinta
sa biglang tingin
kita’y walang kinabukasan
subalit di-malupig ang pag-asa

*,*
sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo...

thanks, bet for reminding me of this song.
