kuya sent me a song from the philippines today. i was listening to it and it was so inspiring at this stage when i am going nuts staring into space trying to figure out what to write for my research paper. the song, the title of which is the title of this blog, captures my mood now after kuya and i canceled on the trip to paris organized by scholas. i feel like kuya and i are on a different journey for now as we labour through our paper. so here are the lyrics of the song with my own translation (i did not translate it literally) to let you understand how inspiring it is for somebody who gazes out all day at the north sea and the very blue skies of den haag while writing the paper…
Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
(Sometimes you feel so burdened by problems)
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”
(Sometimes it gets so difficult and you say to yourself, "i can’t make it")
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
(Just look out into the skies)
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
(maybe you’ll find something there)
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
(Or maybe call me)
Malalaman mong kahit kailan
(You’ll know that)
Chorus
Hawak-kamay
(I’m always holding your hands)
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
(I’m not going to leave you during your journey)
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
(In this world of uncertainties)
Hawak-kamay
(I’m always holding your hand)
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
(I’m not going to leave you in your journey)
Sa mundo ng kawalan
(In this world of nothingness)
Minsan madarama mo
(Sometimes you will feel)
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
(the world is crumbling down beneath your feet)
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
(And you are being carried away by the tides)
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
(Just look up in the skies)
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
(Maybe you will find something there)
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
(Or maybe call me)
Malalaman mong kahit kailan
(And you will know that all the time)
Hawak-kamay
(I’m always holding your hands)
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
(I’m not going to leave you during your journey)
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
(In this world of uncertainties)
Hawak-kamay
(I’m always holding your hand)
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
(I’m not going to leave you in your journey)
Sa mundo ng kawalan
(In this world of nothingness)
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
(Don’t say you’re all alone)
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
(Always think you are with somebody)
Narito ako oh, Narito ako…
(I am here, oh I am here…)
Sa mundo ng kawalan
(In this world of nothingness)
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
(I am holding your hand)
Sa mundo ng kawalan…
(In this world of nothingness)
Salamat, kuya!!! Just look up in the skies. The answer to the RP is there! hehehehe!!!
(para sa yo rin ito, bunso!)
