SA ULAN

Ey! Finally, we've finished the first draft of my new song. It's in Cebuano so please bear with the lyrics. Anyway, there's a translation for those who don't understand Bisaya. It is also our first attempt to make an RnB song that's why it sounds really raw. We'll improve it as soon as the masters are available. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Usa ka adlaw nga walay adlaw
Napuno sa dag-um ang kalangitan
Lakang gipaspasan kay nakulbaan
Basun kaabtan sa pagbundak sa ulan

Apan nakita ko ikaw
Ug kangitngit nahanaw
Nabalhin sa laing kalibutan
Diin ang ulan mga gihay sa kristal nga mga rosas
Nagpanindlak gikan sa kalangitan

Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag hilanat ang kapaingnan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan
(Bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Basta ikaw akong mahibalagan

Apan dungan sa akong pagka dam-ag
Ikaw mipara ug pedicab
Daling mibakod ug milanat
Wala tagda dalugdog ug kilat

Tungod nakita ko ikaw
Ug kangitngit nahanaw
Nabalhin sa laing kalibutan
Diin ang ulan mga gihay sa kristal nga mga rosas
Nagpanindlak gikan sa kalangitan

Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag hilanat ang kapaingnan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan
(Bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Basta ikaw akong mahibalagan

Apan si manong drayber kusog mopadagan
Di ko na maapsan hangtud di na ka makit-an
Ang katugnaw milusot sa panit padulong sa unod
kasingkasing ko daw gi tusok tusok!

Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan (bahalag hilanat ang kapaingnan)
Ulalalala lalan ulan
(Bahalag mahumod ko sa ulan)
Basta ikaw akong mahibalagan

One gloomy day
The sky is covered with dark clouds
I hasten my steps as I'm anxious
afraid I'll be drenched with rain


but then you came in sight
and all the darkness turned to light
you brought me to a world of awe
where raindrops fall like crystal rose petals 
burst forth in full glow from heaven


Rain (doesn't matter if I get completely soaked in the rain)
Rain (doesn't matter if I'll get down with fever)
Rain (doesn't matter if I get completely soaked in the rain)

As long as it's you that I see


As I stumbled, you hailed a pedicab
I stood up fast then ran, ignored the thunder and lightning

because you came in sight
and all the darkness turned to light
you brought me to a world of awe
where raindrops fall like crystal rose petals 
burst forth in full glow from heaven

Rain (doesn't matter if i get completely soaked in the rain)
Rain (doesn't matter if ill get down with fever?)
Rain (doesn't matter if i get completely soaked in the rain)
 As long as it's you that I see
  
yet the driver's maneuvering the vehicle rocket-fast
couldn't catch up till the sight of you faded

the frost-like wind pierced through my skin into the depths of my body

until my pierced heart pours its scarlet tears.

Rain (doesn't matter if i get completely soaked in the rain)
Rain (doesn't matter if ill get down with fever?)
Rain (doesn't matter if i get completely soaked in the rain)

As long as it's you that I see
