Jamy Niekerk - Bago Dumating ang Katahimikan (Before The Silence Comes)

Описание: Lyrics (English Below)

May ilaw pa sa memory ko
Parang may naghihintay
Mga boses sa sala
Na hanggang ngayon buhay
Pictures sa lumang dingding
Mga ngiti noon
Sabi ko, “Uuwi ako soon”
Pero kulang pa rin ‘yung panahon

Sa backyard tayo dati
Tawanan at konting away
Kwento ni lolo tuwing gabi
Akala ko forever, okay lang
Sunday dinners sabay-sabay
Siksikan sa mesa
Inisip ko alam ninyo
Kaya hindi ko na sinabi pa

’Di ko nasasabi enough
Hindi ko masabi nang diretso
Na kayo ang nagmahal sa’kin
Through the high and through the low
Kapag magulo ang mundo
Sa inyo ako tumatakbo
Bitbit ko sa puso ko
Pero ‘di ko masabi sa inyo

Habang tumatagal, tumatanda
Mga taon sa mukha natin
Mga batang dating karga
May sarili nang gawin
Sabi natin, “Next time na lang”
“Magkita tayo ulit”
Parang may bukas pa lagi
Na hindi mauubos kahit pilit

Darating ang isang araw
May upuang wala na
May number sa phone ko
Na hindi na sasagot pa
Paano kung ang naiwan
Mga words na ‘di ko nasabi?
Kung ang “I love you”
Nanatili lang sa tabi?

Kaya sasabihin ko ngayon
Habang may time pa
Kayo ang home ko
Sa gitna ng saya’t luha
Sa lahat ng taon na lumipas
Sa lahat ng mali ko
Bago maging quiet ang lahat
Sasabihin ko sa inyo

I love you
Mahal ko kayong lahat

I love you…
Sana mas madalas ko pa ‘tong nasabi.

There’s a porch light burning in my memory
Like it’s waiting up for me
Kitchen table conversations
Voices drifting down the hall
Photographs on the living room wall
Every face I still recall
I said, “I’ll make it home this weekend”
But I never called at all

We were kids out in the backyard
Fighting, laughing, growing fast
Granddad telling stories
Like he thought they’d always last
Sunday dinners running late
Someone always showing up
I figured love was understood
Didn’t think to say enough

And I don’t say it enough
No, I don’t say it like I should
That you’re the only ones who’ve loved me
Through the bad and through the good
When the rest of this world changes
You’re the place I always run
I carry it deep in my chest
But the words don’t ever come

I’ve watched us all get older
Lines showing on our faces
Babies turning into strangers
Moving off to different places
We say, “Yeah, we should get together”
“Let’s not wait so long next time”
Like we think there’s always later
Like we’re not racing time

One day somebody won’t be there
At the end of that driveway
One chair sitting empty
At the table on a holiday
And what if all I left behind
Were words I never used?
What if “I love you” stayed locked up
Like something I was scared to lose?

So I’m gonna say it right now
Yeah, I’m gonna say it clear
You’re the hands that helped to raise me
You’re the reason I’m still here
Through the miles and through the years
Through every change we’ve come
Before the silence finds us all
I won’t let it go unsung

I love you
Every one of you

I love you… and I should’ve said it more.
