Dating Ako

Nagbago man ang aking anyo
nagbago man ang tono ng aking pananalita
nagbago man ang aking panlasa...

Ako pa rin ang dating ako
na nag-iisip sa iyo
nangungulila sa iyo
nagmamahal sa iyo
at naghihintay sa iyo.

Untill You Come Home

This night
will be long
untill
you come home.

Hot water in the tub
is ready
I hope
it won't get cold
untill
you come home.

I'll stay awake
untill
you come home.

This night
will be long
untill
you come home.

Cherry

your name is cherry
so I planted a cherry.

everyday
I watered the cherry
and the cherry grew big.

now I harvest the cherry
but you've gone far away.

oh, cherry
here's my cherry
but where are you now
.....cherry.

The Wise Billionaire

Untill yesterday
I had billions of money
I got tired of sitting and counting
so I gave them away.

Now I have nothing
but my freedom
I am free!

I no longer have
to sit and sit
and count the billions
....anymore.

Our History

If my history would end here
I know
your history will begin.

Our history
happens not at the same time
how I wish I could see
what history you will make.

If my history would end here
I know
your history will begin.

I'm Moving Forward

I'm moving forward
and you can't stop me
I can't tell where I got my strength
but I'm moving forward.

Better not follow me
'cause I won't look back for you.

I'm moving forward
and I'm leaving you behind
my bitter past.

Away From You

Away from you
how can I go
while you have my eyes
my heart and my soul.

Away from you
I wonder if
I can find there the love
that can make me stay.

Away from you
No, I cannot go
for it's only beside you
where I can live.

Jealous

why do you have to greet her
when you see her on the street?

why do you have to offer her drinks too
when we see her in a party?

why do you have to ask her brother
if she's fine?

You're my man
yes, I'm jealous....

Roses Are Red

Roses are red
you may make them blue
but please
don't make me blue.

Roses are red
if you make them blue
please don't call them roses
because my heart will be blue.

Roses are red
and that's forever
just as love
is forever.

Mapalad Ako

Huwag kang susuko
kahit na ba sa tingin mo'y
walang nangyayari sa iyong buhay
kahit na anong sikap ang gawin.

Hayaan mo lang dumaan ang mga araw
isang umaga'y magigising ka rin
na nagsasabi sa iyong sariling
' Mapalad Ako.'
