Original Kabilang Buhay Lyrics by Bandang Lapis

Original Kabilang Buhay Lyrics by Bandang Lapis

Verse 1

Masasayang mga araw na kasama kita
Paglalambing at kulit mo na hindi nakakasawa
Punong-puno ng ligaya ang ating pagsasama
Na parang wala nang sisira ng lahat

Pre-Chorus

Bakit pa dumating ang oras na ito?
Nabalitaan ko na wala ka na

Chorus

Hindi ba’t sabi mo hindi mo ‘ko iiwan?
Hindi papabayaan na ako’y mag-isa?
Hindi ba’t sabi mo sabay tayong tatanda?
Bakit bigla ka na lang nand’yan sa kabilang buhay?

Verse 2

Paano na ang lahat? Paano na ako, tayo?
‘Di ba’t sinabi mo sa akin na sabay tayong mangangarap?
Bakit bigla kang lumisan nang hindi man lang nagpaalam?

Pre-Chorus

Isang malamig na hangin ang yumakap sa akin
Parang isang pahiwatig na magpapaalam ka na

Chorus

Hindi ba’t sabi mo hindi mo ‘ko iiwan?
Hindi papabayaan na ako’y mag-isa?
Hindi ba’t sabi mo sabay tayong tatanda?
Bakit bigla ka na lang nand’yan sa kabilang buhay?

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus

Hindi ba’t sabi mo hindi mo ‘ko iiwan?
(Sa kabilang buhay)
Hindi papabayaan na ako’y mag-isa?
(Sa kabilang buhay)
Hindi ba’t sabi mo sabay tayong tatanda?
(Sa kabilang buhay)
Bakit bigla ka na lang nand’yan sa kabilang buhay?

Outro

Sa kabilang buhay

English Translation Afterlife Lyrics

Verse 1

Happy days with you
Your caress and caresses that never get boring
Our togetherness is full of happiness
As if nothing will ruin everything

Pre-Chorus

Why has this time come?
I heard that you are gone

Chorus

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave me?
Didn’t you say
we would grow old together?
Why did you suddenly just show up in the afterlife? 

Verse 2

How is everything?
How is me, us?
Didn’t you tell me we would dream together?
Why did you suddenly leave without even saying goodbye?

Pre-Chorus

A cold wind hugged me Like a hint that you would say goodbye

Chorus

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave me?
Didn’t you say you would leave me alone?
Didn’t you say we would grow old together?
Why did you suddenly just show up in the afterlife?

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave me?
(In the afterlife)
Won’t you leave me alone?
(In the afterlife)
Didn’t you say we’d grow old together?
(In the afterlife)
Why are you suddenly there in the afterlife?

Outro

In the afterlife
