This one was my assignment for Filipino class back in first year college, we were asked to translate an english song to filipino..and hey my boyfriend's creative juices came out...it's really nice try singing it too!
Before I Let You Go
BY: FREESTYLE
I CAN STILL REMEMBER YESTERDAY
WE WERE SO IN LOVE IN A SPECIAL WAY
AND KNOWING THAT YOU LOVE ME
MADE ME FEEL, OH, SO RIGHT
BUT NOW I FEEL LOST, DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
EACH AND EVERYDAY I THINK OF YOU
HOLDIN' BACK THE TEARS
I'M TRYING WITH ALL MY MIGHT
REFRAIN:
BECAUSE YOU'VE GONE AND LEFT ME STANDIN' ALL ALONE
AND I KNOW I'VE GOT TO FACE TOMORROW ON MY OWN
BUT BABY
CHORUS:
BEFORE I LET YOU GO
I WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOU
I HOPE THAT YOU'RE LISTENIN'
'COZ IT'S TRUE, BABY, OH YEAH
YOU'LL BE FOREVER IN MY HEART
AND I KNOW THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL DO
SO BEFORE I LET YOU GO
I WANT TO SAY "I LOVE YOU"
I WISH THAT IT COULD BE JUST LIKE BEFORE
I KNOW I COULD'VE GIVEN SO MUCH MORE
EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW
I'VE GIVEN YOU ALL MY LOVE
I MISS YOUR SMILE, I MISS YOUR KISS
EACH AND EVERYDAY I REMINISCE
'COZ BABY IT'S YOU THAT I'M ALWAYS DREAMIN' OF
BUT BABY…
REPEAT CHORUS
Bago Ka Lumisan

HANGGANG NGAYO’Y NAAALALA
PAG-IIBIGAN NATING DALAWA
KALA KO’Y DI NA MAGWAWAKAS
ANG KASIYAHAN
NGUNIT NGAYON AKO’Y MAG-ISA
PALAGING NASA ISIP KA
PILIT NA TINATAGO
ANG AKING KALUNGKUTAN
REFRAIN:
DAHIL AKO’Y INIWAN MONG NAG-IISA
PARA HARAPIN ANG BUKAS NANG WALANG KASAMA
MAHAL KO…
KORUS:
BAGO KA LUMISAN AY
TANDAAN MONG MAHAL KITA
PAKINGGAN MO SANA
ITO’Y TOTOO, MAHAL KO
DUMAAN MAN ANG PANAHON
IKAW LANG ANG NASA PUSO KO
KAYA BAGO KA LUMISAN AY
HUWAG LIMUTIN NA MAHAL KITA
SANA’Y MABALIK ANG NAKARAAN
AT NANG PAG-IBIG KO’Y MARAMDAMAN
ALAM MO NAMANG BINIGAY KO NA
ANG LAHAT
NASA’N ANG NGITI, NASA’N ANG HALIK?
BAWAT ARAW AY NINANAIS
IKAW ANG LAGING NASA PANAGINIP KO
MAHAL KO…
ULITIN ANG KORUS
You know when you're feeling lost and alone, when you feel the world just ain't right...count on a good song and it will make everything alright! hahaha it's true, i've been having really weird moodswings lately or more like stuck in depression, sadness stuff like that and you know what made me feel better? singing my lungs out! yep try before i let you go by freestyle but then this is relative of course, i particularly like the song very very much! Oli surprised me Valentines 2000 by taking me to the LOVE CONCERT with freestlye, zsa zsa padilla and lani misalucha. IT was absolutely awe-inspiring and very very sweet awww memories!
diba when you hear a song, there's usually a memory attached to it? well for the sweet valley readers out there, they can relate to this.. anyways there's this song that goes...
I kiss your lips, they feel so cold
i still remember we used to hold
all of the nights that we had made love
now we are strangers again
oh lady, it's hard to believe
that there in your eyes, strangers i see
and the only song there is left to sing
are the memories of yesterday
i'd be a fool if i couldn't see
how things have changed, between you and me
......now we are strangers again...
The lyrics are a bit mixed up or something, i just wrote from memory..hehe. Anyways whenever i hear this song, it gives me poignant memories of Elizabeth Wakefield and Todd Wilkins,well of course they didn't make love which is one of the main reasons of their break up in SVU..hehe. Well, i dunno, the songs just really reminds me of the two and how sad that their relationship had to end on such a bitter note...
of course, these are imaginary characters i;m talking about! Well what's a bored girl to do but relive memories of the past!
