In two weeks time, a friend of mine is getting married. We’ve been counting down the days and I’m getting into the mood by having in my playlist the songs she chose for the ceremony. This one’s not on her list but besides Ikaw (words by George Canseco and music by Louie Ocampo), this song, I believe, is one that fits the event to a T. Albeit it’s a bit gasgas na to the married folks of old. It’s a true classic -- one of the best written (by George Canseco) in the vernacular as far as romaticism is concerned.
Dahil kaya sa ‘yo ng maitadhanang
Ako’y isilang sa mundo
Upang sa araw-araw ay siyang makapiling mo
Upang ngayon at kailanman
Ikaw ay mapalingkuran hirang
Bakit labis kitang mahal
Pangalawa sa Maykapal
Higit sa ‘king buhay
Malilimot ka lang
Kapag ang araw at bituin ay di na matanaw
Kapag tumigil ang daigdig at di ‘na gumalaw
Subalit isang araw pa matapos ang mundo’y nagunaw na
Hanggang doon magwawakas pag-ibig kong sadyang wagas
Ngayon at kailanman
Ay, corny ko! . More Canseco after the cut…
*blushes* Favorite ko ito ever since I was a li’l girl.
Ako din TPS, eh. He he
