Hum..humm..hummm

I’ve been humming this song for quite some time. I can’t call it LSS (last song syndrome) because I have not heard this song recently. When it suddenly invaded my cranial jukebox I looked for it in my PC’s unreliable hard disk and, you guessed it. Its not there. It was there, before my computer crashed. And the cd is with my friend whom I have not heard from since college.

I would provide an audio link to it if I were’nt too lazy at the moment (because right now only my fingers are moving and all else that moves is hardly voluntary). Anyway, you can do it! emoticon 

Okay, I’ll help you a bit. Here’s the title. And the artist. And the lyrics.

 

"I Will Never Be The Same"

So you walked with me for a while
Bared your naked soul
And you told me of your plan
How you would never let them know
In the morning of the night
You cried a long lost child
And I tried on I tried to hold you
But you were young
And you were wild

But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

Secrets of your life
I never wanted for myself
But you guarded them like a lie
Placed up on the highest shelf
In the morning of the night
When I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
Must be draggin’ you along

But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

And you swore that you were bound for glory
And for wanting you had no shame
But I loved you
And then I lost you
And I will never be the same

But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

 

Lalake Ako

Pardon me for using Tagalog for this post. It is something that I wrote a few years back and I just wanted to put it up on my blog. I’m currently working on the english translation so do be patient please, it will be posted ASAP. Its about the emotional drive of mens attraction towards women that would end up in a rather peculiar conclusion.

For those who can read tagalog I would like to hear from you. Do let me know your thoughts on this one. 

 

Lalaki ako.

Matipuno at kaakit-akit.

Nasasaktan pero hindi umiiyak.

Nakikipag-away pag tinititigan.

Nabugbog na pero bida pa rin sa kuwentuhan.

Malakas uminom pero hindi nalalasing.

Naglalaway sa suso.

Tinitigasan sa kurbada ng bewang.

 

Ikaw! Babae ka.

Tumititig sa mga lalaki.

Nagpapantasya habang tulala sa aking mga labi.

Di mo alam napapansin ko.

Inilulugay mo ang buhok mo

at sinasadyang ihampas sa mukha ko pagdaaan ko.

 

Lalaki ako.

Nabubugnot sa tagal ng paliligo mo.

Naguguluhan sa dami ng ipinipintura mo sa mukha mo

At nalilito ako sa dami ng pinamimilian mong damit na di mo rin naman

isinusuot.

 

Babae ka.

Importante sa’yo na malinis at mabango ka.

Nagme-make up ka para mapansin ng mga lalaking tulad ko ang mga

pangbabago sa

mukha mo.

Pinapahaba mo ang buhok mo para mas madaling ayusin,

Kahit nagkaka-hadhad ka na sa batok at nauupuan mo na ang mahaba mong

buhok.

Nag aahit ka ng kilay para magmistulang manipis ito para maitago ang

katotohanang mas mabalahibo ka pa kaysa sakin.

 

Lalake ako.

Kaya kong patigasin lahat ng muscle sa katawan ko.

Matapang ako.

Matapang ang mukha ko.

Hindi mo ako pwedeng tawaging bakla.

Magagalit ako.

Pero kung babae ka magagalit pa rin ako.

At sisiguraduhin kong mararamdaman mo ang lalim ng galit ko.

 

Babae ka.

Umuungol ka pag nasasaktan.

Umuungol ka pag nasasarapan.

Umuungol ka pag nag-iinarte ka.

At umuungol ka pag nagbabata-bataan ka.

 

Oo. Babae ka.

Nagpapantasya,

naglulugay,

matagal maligo,

matagal magbihis,

nagpipintura ng mukha,

nag-aahit ng kilay,

umuungol sa maraming dahilan,

pero naintindihan kita.

 

Lalake ako - noon, nagpapapansin at pinapansin mo.

Babae ka - noon, sinusundan-sundan pa kita ng hindi mo alam.

Lalake ako - noon, pinag-aawayan natin ang mga abubot mo sa katawan

pero…

 

Babae na ako - ngayon,

nagpapantasya,

nag-aayos ng buhok,

matagal maligo,

matagal magbihis,

nagpipintura ng mukha,

nag-aahit ng kilay,

umuungol sa maraming dahilan pero malimit sa sakit.

 

Sa sakit ng dulot ng mga lalaki.

Sa mga lalaking katulad ko… noon.

 

Letting Go

posted: Sat 2nd Dec, 1995, categories: The Past, Bloody Twilight

In closing my eyes I slowly set you free

Though the consequences hold me up and tear me

We’re two worlds apart

and it’s breaking my heart

Knowing it can never be you and me.

Now there are only cold, endless nights and days

Trying to forget the feel of your sweet embrace

Never thought I’d be this sad

Never thought I’d feel this bad

I’m being torn apart by what I’m about to face.

I used to dream of a love so vast

Make believing such beauty would last

Now everything is gone

But still I must move on

Keeping all the memories as just one miserable past.

Again, I close my eyes with this one woe

Fighting to forget the love I used to nkow

Now I pause to wipe a tear

Trying hard to face a great fear

The thought, the fact that now I must let you go.

Will You?

Allow me to hold your hand

Take you to where I stand

and show you the world’s beauty beyond all measure.

Let me touch your face

and hold you in my embrace

and share this feeling we both can treasure.

Walk beside me now

To get there I’ll show you how

I know we can do this, you and me, together.

Trust me with your heart

with a promise not to part

and you’ll know it’ll be the two of us forever.

Let me be your friend

and I won’t let these promises end

For I swear that I will always be true.

Now, give your heart to me

and I’ll keep it safe and free

All these I can do but let me ask - Will you?
