Pabilin

Moira Dela Torre

Ipikit man ang mata't hilingin

Na s'ya ay muling kasama, kausap, kapiling
Kailangang tanggapin na wala na s'ya sa akin
Ngunit heto ang mga pabilin
Yakapin mo s'yang mahigpit 'pag s'ya ay galit
Manatili sa kanyang tabi
Hawakan ang kanyang mukha, tignan sa mata
Ipaalalang kakampi ka n'ya
Sana'y gawin ang lahat ng 'di ko nagawa
'Wag ibalewala ang mga oras
Na s'ya'y masungit at ulo'y mainit
'Pag kailangan ka n'ya, 'wag kang mag-antala
S'ya'y amuhin at 'yong pakainin
Yakapin mo s'yang mahigpit 'pag s'ya ay galit
Manatili sa kanyang tabi
Hawakan ang kanyang mukha, tignan sa mata
Ipaalalang kakampi ka n'ya
Sana'y gawin ang lahat ng 'di ko nagawa
Sana'y 'wag magpahuli
Bilang lamang ang sandali
'Di man natin gustuhin
Ang oras ay 'di sa 'tin
Yakapin mo s'yang mahigpit sa bawat sandali
Na parang 'yon na ang huli
Sabihin ang nadarama na mahal mo rin s'ya
Huwag nang hintaying mawala
Lagi mo s'yang pakinggan at lagi mong kakantahan
Sana'y gawin ang lahat ng 'di ko nagawa

Story behind the song "Pabilin"

Moira Dela Torre has launched a double-track single called “Pabilin” featuring
stories of loss, regret, and acceptance in the songs “Pabilin” and “Pagitan.”

’Pabilin’ talks about making the most of our time with our loved ones, because we
don’t know much of it we really have.

“Pabilin” is from the perspective of the one who left containing a special message
to his loved one left behind.
Literary Approach
A psychological approach must be used to really understand what this song is
trying to portray since different interpretations can be extracted from the lyrics
depending on how you will relate yourself or your personal experiences to it. The
soul of this song is mainly about "losing someone" or "missing someone" who can be
someone you loved or yourself.
In my own opinion, I can relate to it because I can see myself talking to the
younger version of me, telling her to be strong and how proud I am for her being
able to conquer every high and low tides that she went through as she got older.
