For the first time, i only searching for its song called “you’ll be safe here” by philipines band Rivermaya, and finally i got 3 songs, that is you’ll be safe here, liwanag sa dilim, and imbecilesque. then, i listen to the song, i interested in the melody and the music of liwanag sa dilim (although i dont understand its language). so i listen to it for several times, and hey, who knows, its not bad at all. here it is the lyric:
LIWANAG SA DILIM
BY RIVERMAYA
Ituring ang iyong sariling
Tagahawi ng ulap
Sa kalangitang kulimlim
Kampanang yayanig
Sa bawat nilalang
Magigising ang lupang
Kulang sa dilig
Ikaw ang magsasabing
“Kaya mo to!”
Tulad ng isang tanglaw
Sa gitna ng bagyo
reff:
Isigaw mo sa hangin
Tumindig at magsilbing
Liwanag
Liwanag sa Dilim
Harapin mong magiting
Ang bagong awitin
Ikaw ang
Liwanag sa Dilim
At sa paghamon mo
Sa agos ng ating kasaysayan
Uukit ka ng bagong daan
Ikaw ang aawit ng
“Kaya mo to!”
‘Sang panalangin
Sa gitna ng gulo
* back to reff
Its kinda weird for me cause i dont know exactly its language, well its a music, a universal language. you’ll like it if you want to.
if anyone of you know what those lyric means in english, just give me a clue. OK, thanks.
Hi,
I’m a big fan of Rivermaya and I’m glad to know that you like their songs. I’ll try to translate the song above in English as best I can without being too literal. Hope you like it ……
Picture yourself as dispeller
Of the clouds of gloom
A bell that ehoes through
The parched land
You hear yourself say
“You can do this”
Like a lamp
In the eye of a storm
Ref.
Shout it to the winds
Make a stand and serve
As a Light
A Light in the Darkness
And face this new song
With courage
For you are
A Light in the Darkness
And in your daring
History’s unfolding
You’ll carve a new path
You’ll be singing
“You can do this”
Like a prayer
In the midst of chaos
wow, thank you very much jules.
now, its not so weird for me to sing it loud,
even though my voice is still to bad, hahaha, LOL.
regards,
yanz
