Lyrics

Pansin mo ba ang pagbabago?

'Di matitigan ang iyong mga mata
Tila 'di na nananabik
Sa 'yong yakap at halik

Sana'y malaman mong hindi sinasadya

Kung ang nais ko ay maging malaya

'Di lang ikaw

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan
Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan
'Di lang ikaw
'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala
Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan
Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan

Pansin mo ba at nararamdaman?
'Di na na tayo magkaintindihan
Tila hindi na maibabalik
Tamis ng yakap at halik

Maaring tama ka, lumalamig ang pagsinta

Sana'y malaman mong 'di ko sinasadya

'Di lang ikaw

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan
Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan
'Di lang ikaw
'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala
Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan
Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan

'Di hahayaang habang-buhay kang saktan

'Di sasayangin ang iyong panahon
Ikaw ay magiging masaya
Sa yakap at sa piling na ng iba

'Di lang ikaw

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan
Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan
'Di lang ikaw
'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala
Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan
Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan
Do you notice the change?
Pansin mo ba ang pagbabago?

'Your eyes can't be stared at

'Di matitigan ang iyong mga mata

It doesn't seem to be excited anymore

Tila 'di na nananabik

With your hug and kiss

Sa 'yong yakap at halik
I hope you find out unintentionally
Sana'y malaman mong hindi sinasadya

If I want to be free
Kung ang nais ko ay maging malaya
'Not only you
'Di lang ikaw

‘You’re not the only one struggling

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan

I was also emotionally confused

Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan

'Not only you

'Di lang ikaw

'You're not the only one who's worried

'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala

Whisper of the mind, 'don't let go

Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan

But my heart has to leave you

Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan
Do you pay attention and feel?
Pansin mo ba at nararamdaman?

'We don't understand each other anymore

'Di na na tayo magkaintindihan

It seems irreversible
Tila hindi na maibabalik

Sweetness of hugs and kisses

Tamis ng yakap at halik
You may be right, passion is cooling
Maaring tama ka, lumalamig ang pagsinta
I hope you know I didn't mean it
Sana'y malaman mong 'di ko sinasadya
'Not only you
'Di lang ikaw

‘You’re not the only one struggling

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan

I was also emotionally confused

Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan

'Not only you

'Di lang ikaw

'You're not the only one who's worried

'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala

Whisper of the mind, 'don't let go

Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan

But my heart has to leave you

Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan
I will not let you be hurt forever
'Di hahayaang habang-buhay kang saktan

'Your time will not be wasted

'Di sasayangin ang iyong panahon

You will be happy

Ikaw ay magiging masaya

In the embrace and in the company of others

Sa yakap at sa piling na ng iba
'Not only you
'Di lang ikaw

‘You’re not the only one struggling

'Di lang ikaw ang nahihirapan

I was also emotionally confused

Damdamin ko rin ay naguguluhan

'Not only you

'Di lang ikaw

'You're not the only one who's worried

'Di lang ikaw ang nababahala

Whisper of the mind, 'don't let go

Bulong ng isip, 'wag kang pakawalan
But my heart has to leave you
Ngunit puso ko ay kailangan kang iwan

What is Original Pilipino

Music / OPM?
This weekend, Undiscovered SF pops-up at Sunday Streets for a
12-block street jam in the heart of SOMA Pilipinas Cultural
Heritage District and we’re bringing the heat with island style
band Native Elements and OPM legends, Dakila. But what
exactly is “OPM”?

Original Pilipino Music, now more commonly known as Original

Pinoy Music, Original Philippine Music or OPM for short,
originally referred to Philippine pop songs, particularly ballads,
that were popular in the Philippines during the late 70s to the
present. OPM artists such as Rico Puno Jr., Ryan Cayabyab, and
Celeste Legaspi in the 70’s, and Regine Velasquez, Sharon
Cuneta, Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandes, among many others led
the way in the 80’s and 90s.

Today, OPM is experiencing a bit of a resurgence, with new

Pilipino underground artists like Jess Connelly, BP Velazquez,
CRWN, Lustbass (from Manila Rising event last year curated by
Mark Herlihy) and more creating a new OPM sound. Oakland
party crew ASTIG OPM has a monthly night dedicated to the
past, present, and future of OPM music. Record collectors are
even digging for Pilipino rare grooves on vinyl.

VST & Company is one of the most influential Filipino disco

groups, and is considered to be one of the pioneers of what is
known as the Manila Sound, the precursor to OPM. Peep this
epic video of the band rockin’ out in Manila during the 70’s.
Sharon Cuneta is one of the most popular OPM artists to come
out of the 80’s. Today, she’s an actress, talk show host,
commercial ad endorser, and a reality show judge. Listen to this
beautiful modern soul track off Sharon’s “Sixteen” album.
