Pag-ibig (Love) is a heartwarming song about - well guess what, you got it - love. Yeng Constantino is one of the few artists who keeps Filipino music alive (at least for me). Her music is raw in a good way, unique, and uninfluenced. Regarding Filipino/Tagalog music, I'm not really the you-have-to-sing-in-Tagalog type, and I don't really care if you sing a song in English (as long as the song is yours and not some crappy revival, and as long as you're observing proper grammar).
But I guess that's the beauty of Yeng - she composes Tagalog songs so well it makes your heart fluffy just because they're in Tagalog. And she's cute! Now, let's pause for a moment and thank the gods, the old and the new, for their gift to the Filipinos that is Yeng Constantino.
Here's the music video of her single, Pag-ibig (translation: Love).
Simple lyrics + Simple music video = ULTRAMEGAWIN
Yeng Contantino = Faith in Filipino Music Restored.
Yeng Constantino - Pag-ibig (Tagalog Lyrics)
Ang pag-ibig
Hindi parang cellphone
'Pag naluma, papalitan
Ang pag-ibig
Hindi parang damit
'Pag may bagong uso, papalitan
Kung sabihin kong mahal kita
'Yan ay totoo sinta
'Wag na 'wag kang magdududa
Hindi kita binobola
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na ika'y pumangit
Hindi kita ipagpapalit
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na ika'y makalbo
Hindi ako magbabago
Aahahm ~ 4x
Ang pag-ibig
Hindi parang pagkain
'Pag pinagsawaan
Pamimigay na lang
Ang pag-ibig
Hindi parang pusa
Pag maingay
Ililigaw na lang
Kung sabihin kong mahal kita
'Yan ay totoo sinta
'Wag na 'wag kang magdududa
Hindi kita binobola
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na ika'y tumaba
Hindi ako mangagaliwa
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na magka-wrinkles ka
I-ki-kiss pa rin kita
Aahahm ~ 4x
Love is patient; love is kind
It does not envy; it does not boast
It is not proud; it is not rude
It is a not self-seeking; it is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
and always perseveres
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na topakin ka
Iintindihin kita
Pang-habangbuhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na may kasalanan ka
Iiyak ako, pero papatawarin kita
Yeng Constantino - Pag-ibig (English)
Note: Since there are discrepancies between Filipino and English syntax,
I added some words [in brackets] for some of the lyrics to make sense.
Love
It's not like a cellphone
[That] when it's already old, [you] just change it.
Love
It's not like clothes
[That] when there's a new trend, [you] just change it.
If I tell you I love you
It's true, my love
Don't ever doubt [me]
I'm not playing around with you.
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you get ugly, I won't trade you [for anything]
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you get bald, I won't change
Aahahm ~ 4x
Love
It's not like food
[That] when you're full of it, [you] just give it away
Love
It's not like a cat
[That] when it's noisy, you abandon it
If I tell you I love you
It's true my love
Don't ever doubt [me]
I'm not playing around with you
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you get fat, I won't cheat on you
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you get wrinkles, I'd still kiss you
Aahahm ~ 4x
[English part]
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you become crazy, I'l understand you
My love for you is forever, oh my love
Even if you did something wrong
I'll cry but I'd [still] forgive you
That's it. Yay for the first post! :)
