SONGS
HARANA by Parokya ni Edgar (modified lyrics lol)
Uso pa ba ang harana?
Is serenading still on trend?
Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka
Perhaps you might be wondering
Sino ba 'tong mukhang gagang
Who this stuid girl is
Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
Struggling to sing
At nasisintunado sa kaba
Though i'm out of tune because I'm nervous
Meron pang dalang mga LOBO
I've brought you some balloons
Pasensya na't naka-uniform lang ako
I'm sorry was not able to dress up, just wearing my unifron
At nariyan pa ang barkada
My friends are here too
Nakatingin at nag-aabangan
Watching and waiting
Sa awiting daig pa ang minus-one at sing along
To this song that's more than a usual song I sing on videokes
Puno ang langit ng bituin
The sky is filled with stars
At kay lamig pa ng hangin
And feel the cool wind
Sa'yong tingin akoy nababaliw giliw
With your look I'd go crazy dear
At sa awitin kong ito
With my song now
Sana'y maibigan mo
I hope you will love it
Ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko
I'm singing it wholeheartedly
Sa isang munting harana para sayo
In this simple serenade of mine
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/parokya_ni_edgar/harana.html ]
Hindi ba't parang isang sine
Isn't it like in a movie theater
Isang pelikulang romantiko
In one romantic film
Hindi ba't ikaw ang bidang artista at ako ay iyong leading-girl
It's like your the leading star and I as your leading girl
Sa istoryang nagwawakas sa pagibig na wagas
And a story that ends in a never ending love
Is serenading still on trend?
Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka
Perhaps you might be wondering
Sino ba 'tong mukhang gagang
Who this stuid girl is
Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
Struggling to sing
At nasisintunado sa kaba
Though i'm out of tune because I'm nervous
Meron pang dalang mga LOBO
