A year ago I heard a Cantonese song performed by a Rock band named BEYOND and it was really very good. Although, I did not have any idea what the song was all about, I could sense by the sound of it that it was a love song. So, I studied its tune and found the chords of the song. Then, I wrote my own lyrics in Visayan (note: this is not a translation of the original song). This became the song "Way Laing Gipangandoy" (I desire no one else but you), which is obviously a love song. I am not embarrassed to tell you that this version is very very far from BEYOND's. However, I did my best.
Kung ugaling imong talikdan
Ang pagbati ko, imong yam-iran,
Magpadayon lang gihapon ako
Sa paghigugma mo.
Kung ugaling imong malimtan,
Ang katam-is sa atong panag-uban,
Magpabilin lang gihapon ako
Sa paghandom nimo.
Kay ikaw akong mahal
Way kinutuban nga pagmahal.
Gihigugma ko ikaw
Sa matag takna, sa matag adlaw.
Ikaw lang ang kanunay kong gihandoraw.
Gihigugma ko ikaw
Sa matag takna, sa matag adlaw.
Way laing gipangandoy kondi ikaw.
Hmmmm….
Way laing gipangandoy kondi ikaw.
Lyrics and Chords: Way Laing Gipangandoy
