Pagsamo Lyrics Translation (from “My Husband, My Lover (Original Soundtrack from the Vivamax Movie)”)
The lyrics ask, ‘Why bother remembering if it won’t be held onto anyway?’ Arthur Nery uses this line to express the pain of trying to fix a broken bond. The poet highlights the frustration of unreturned prayers and unanswered promises.
Kung bibitaw nang mahinahon ako ba’y lulubayan ng atingIf I let go gently, will I finally be freed from our
Mga kahapon na ‘di na kayang ayusin ng lambingYesterdays that can’t be mended by affection?
Mga pangako ba’y sapat na upang muli tayongAre promises enough for us to once again
Ipagtagpo ng hinaharapBe reunited by the future?
Ba’t pa ipapa-alala ‘di rin naman pangha-hawakanWhy bother remembering if it won’t be held onto anyway?
Ba’t pa ipipilit kung ‘di naman tayo angWhy keep forcing it if we aren’t the ones
Para sa isa’t isa oohMeant for each other, ooh
‘Di ba sinta tayong dalawa lang noonDidn’t we used to be the only two, darling?
Para sa isa’t isa oh hohhMeant for each other, oh hohh
Ba’t ‘di sumang-ayon sa’tin ang panahonWhy didn’t time side with us?
Siguro nga’y wala nang natiraPerhaps there’s truly nothing left
Sa mga sinulat mo na para sa’kinOf the words you wrote for me.
Alam kong luha ang bumuburaI know tears are washing them away,
Ngunit hayaan mo na langBut just let it be.
Walang saysay ang panalangin koMy prayers are pointless
Kung ‘di ako ang hahanapin moIf I’m not the one you’ll be looking for.
Kahit sigaw pa ang pagsamo ko sa’yoEven if my plea to you is a scream,
Bakit ‘di mo dama ‘toWhy don’t you feel this?
Ba’t pa ipapa-alala ‘di rin naman pangha-hawakanWhy bother remembering if it won’t be held onto anyway?
Ba’t pa ipi-pilit kung ‘di naman tayo angWhy keep forcing it if we aren’t the ones
Para sa isa’t-isa oohMeant for each other, ooh
‘Di ba sinta tayong dalawa lang noonDidn’t we used to be the only two, darling?
Para sa isa’t-isa oh hohhMeant for each other, oh hohh
Ba’t ‘di sumang-ayon sa’tin ang panahonWhy didn’t time side with us?
Para sa isa’t-isa oohMeant for each other, ooh
‘Di ba sinta tayong dalawa lang noonDidn’t we used to be the only two, darling?
Para sa isa’t-isa oh hohhMeant for each other, oh hohh
Ba’t ‘di sumang-ayon sa’tin ang panahonWhy didn’t time side with us?
