Shine - Cassidy Ladden

From the movie: Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses
there's a place where you can go,
where your heart is free,
there's a rhythm that's right for you soul
take a breath, find your courage, and make the leap
cause your feet always knows where to go

and you dance and you dance in an endless flow
in the grace of a perfect design
stepping out of the dark and into the glow
the whole world will see
when you shine, you can shine, shine


there's a beauty already inside of you
there's a difference that only you'll make
every place that you spin brings you somewhere new
finding hope every step that you take

and you dance and you dance in an endless flow
in the grace of a perfect design
stepping out of the dark and into the glow
and the whole world will see when you shine
you can shine, shine

suddenly, sparkling bright
decked in a magical light
you will (shine)
sisters are there by your side
love will be your guide

and we dance and we dance in an endless flow
in the grace of a perfect design
stepping out of the dark and into the glow
the whole world will see when we shine
We will shine
Shine


(and we dance and dance in an endless flow)
stepping out of the dark and into the glow
(stepping out of the dark and into the glow
we will shine, shine
(we can shine, shine)

(and we dance and dance in an endless flow)
stepping out of the dark and into the glow
(stepping out of the dark and into the glow
we will shine, shine
(we can shine, shine)

Alipin - Shamrock

Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana"y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik...

Ayoko sa iba
Sayoako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso"t pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana at iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik...

Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta"t sa akin wag kang mawawala

Ako"y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako"y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako"y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin



** this song is the theme for Jewel in the Palace here in the Philippines, the song lyrics caught my attention, I thought it apt for me and my hubby. Another, the music is soft and serene which makes the song more likeable

Hawak-kamay - Yeng Constantino

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko na kaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[chorus]
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Minsan madarama mo
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Narito ako oh, Narito ako

[repeat chorus]

Sa mundo ng kawalan Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay Sa mundo ng kawalan

*** Hawak Kamay is a catchy tune, an original composition by one of the participants called 'scholars' of the reality filipino tv show Pinoy Dream Academy. The song reached number one is various count downs in the country coz of it's nice tune and lyrics which are apt for whatever suits your fancy (?). It can be dedicated to a boyfriend/girlfriend, a friend, it can even be religious in a roundabout way. My daughter likes Yeng and this song is one of the first songs which caught her attention of all the PDA original songs and she memorized the song easily. Overall this song is top rated :)

Iingatan Ka

by: Carol Banawa

Sa buhay kong ito
Tanging pangarap lang
Ang iyong pagmamahal
ay makamtan
Kahit na sandali
kita ay mamasdan
Ligaya'y tila bang
walang hanggan
Sana'y di na magising
Kung nangangarap man din
Kung ang buhay na makulay
ang tatahakin
Minsan ay madarapa
minsan din ay luluha
Di ka na maninindim
pagkat sa buhay mo 
ay may nagmamahal pa rin

Iingatan ka 
Aalagaan ka
Sa puso ko ikaw ang pag-asa
Sa 'ting mundo
may gagabay sa iyo
Ang alay ko'y itong pagmamahal ko
May nagmamahal, aakay sa iyo
Aking inay ikaw ang nagbigay
ng buhay ko
Buhay na kay ganda
Pangarap ko na makamtan ko na

Sana'y di na magising
Kung nangangarap man din
Kung ang buhay na makulay
Ang tatahakin
Minsan ay madarapa
minsan din ay iluluha
Di ka na maninindim
pagkat sa buhay mo 
ay may nagmamahal pa rin

Iingatan ka 
Aalagaan ka
Sa puso ko ikaw ang pag-asa
Sa 'tin mundo
May gagabay sa iyo
Ang alay ko'y itong pagmamahal ko
May nagmamahal, aakay sa iyo
Aking inay ikaw ang nagbigay
ng Buhay ko
Buhay na kay ganda
Pangarap ko na makamtan ko na

Iingatan ka 
Aalagaan ka
Sa puso ko ikaw ang pag-asa
Sa 'tin mundo
May gagabay sa iyo
Ang alay ko'y itong pagmamahal ko
May nagmamahal, aakay sa iyo
Aking inay ikaw ang nagbigay
ng Buhay ko
Buhay na kay ganda
Pangarap ko na makamtan ko na

**I have always been fond of this song, but today it felt specially poignant for me. Today my aunt celebrated her 60th birthday and my cousins had a surprise bday party for her. And part of their 'program' and thanksgiving for my aunt, they sung this song. And it became more meaningful for me since my mom just moved out of the country to stay with my sister in Canada for good that I became acutely aware of how much parents particularly mothers play an important role in the shaping of our lives.
