By “Reneé Dominique“
Hi guys! So i’m glad to be sharing another original song again with you all. My friend/fellow youtuber Maxine Lara asked me if i can write her a song for her thesis film “Sa Palengke” (In the Market) sometime last year and this is what i came up with. Written, sung, and arranged by yours truly. Hihi. “Una” (meaning “First” in Filipino) talks about how true love transcends the test of time. Whether we grow older, weaker, incapable to do the things we used to do when we were younger, you will always be my first and last love. In the clips from the film, it shows a man pursuing this woman everyday, as if he was trying to win her love. But in the end, it turns out that they are already happily married. Love doesn’t end once you get the girl, or once you get married. True love is constant, and never changing. 1 Corinthians 13
LYRICS
Mahal…
Ika'y UNA at huli
Sa aking buhay
Magpakailanman
(Expensive…
You are first and late
In my life
Forever)
'Di ako magsasawang
Mahalin ka, o giliw ko
Tandaan, ako'y sa'yo
At ika'y akin
(I'm not married
Love you, or love me
Remember, I'm in love
And you are mine)
Mahal…
Ika'y UNA at huli
Sa aking buhay
Magpakailanman
(Expensive…
You are first and late
In my life
Forever)
'Di ako magsasawang
Mahalin ka, o giliw ko
Tandaan, ako'y sa'yo
At ika'y akin
(I'm not married
Love you, or love me
Remember, I'm in love
And you are mine)
Lilipas din
Ang mga oras natin
Mundo ay iikot pa rin
Maraming magbabago
Ngunit 'wag mong intindihin
Pag-ibig ko sayo'y hindi
(The time is gone
Our world is still cycling
Many will change
But do not understand
I love you not)
Mahal…
Ika'y UNA at huli
Sa aking buhay
Magpakailanman
(Expensive…
You are UNA and late
In my life
Forever)
'Di ako magsasawang
Mahalin ka, o giliw ko
Tandaan, ako'y sa'yo
At ika'y akin
('I'm not married
Love you, or love me
Remember, I'm in love
And you are mine)
Kahit hindi na makatakas
Kahit maputi na ang iyong balbas
Kahit wala na tayong masyadong lakas
Wala pa ring nagbabago
Ikaw pa rin ang UNA
Sa buhay ko
(Even no escape
Even your beard is white
We do not have too much energy yet
There is still no change
You are still first
In my life)
Mahal…
'Di pa sapat ang lahat
Ng oras ko'y kasama ka
Magpakailanman
(Expensive…
'Not all enough
My time is with you
Forever)
Kahit ano'ng mangyari
Ikaw lang
Ang una't huli sa buhay ko
O giliw ko
(No matter what happens
Only you
First and foremost in my life
Oh my love)
