Hive Open Mic Week #174: Kanlungan By: Noel Cabangun

A pleasant day to each of us my Dear Hiver musicians, Music lover and talented singers. Another week, another great and wonderful presentations we shared again here in our community. We are blessed with many different kinds of talents just like Singing. Through music and singing, we can express our emotions and or feelings from ourselves.

For today's presentation, I would like to share my latest Pinoy songs, titled Kanlungan.

This song was originated by Noel Cabangun, one of the most popular singer, composer and writer in music industry. He also one of the best guitarist here in the country. He published many beautiful and relaxing songs and one of his song is Kanlungan. This is a kind of Pinoy and tagalog song that hit in the heart of the Filipino people especially those lovers. I made a music video of one of his song and this is what I am going to share to all of you here.

Kanlungan

By: Noel Cabangun

Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon
Natatandaan mo pa ba
Nang tayong dal'wa ang unang nagkita
Panahon ng kamusmusan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
Doon tayong nagsimulang
Mangarap at tumula
Natatandaan mo pa ba
Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga
At ang inalay kong gumamela
Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
Malayang tulad ng mga ibon
Ang gunita ng ating kahapon
Ang mga puno't halaman
Ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Bakit kailangan ding lumisan
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon
Ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik
At tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
Makita ang dating kanlungan
Tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
Ngayon ay naglaho na
Saan hahanapin pa
Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon
Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan
Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon

Opportunity is seasonal
Can yesterday be brought back?
do you still remember
When the two of us first met
Time of infancy
In the company of flowers and plants
That's where we started
Dream and write poetry
do you still remember
I carved a heart on a mango tree
And the one I offered to play
Holding hands on the beach
Free as birds
The memory of our yesterday
The trees and plants
Is the spouse of our memory
Over time
Why do you have to leave?
Opportunity is seasonal
Can yesterday be brought back?
Now you are back
And you are just as excited as I am
See the old shelter
Home of our poetry and dreams
Now it has disappeared
Where to find more
Time passes
Spouse of our memory
The trees and plants
Why do you have to leave?
Opportunity is seasonal
Can yesterday be brought back?
Time passes
Spouse of our memory
The trees and plants
Why do you have to leave?
Opportunity is seasonal
Can yesterday be brought back?

This song represents the past love and great memories of the two lovers. A lot of days and years has passing by and the relationships are already cold and changed. It also contains the hope that someday the relationship will come back and start a new chapter of their live life.

Thank you for visiting and watching my music video. Have a good day everyone.
