Takipsilim
It was just 12:00 noon when my group decided to go somewhere, have a steaming pot of rice, and get those sardines and corned beef ready for lunch. We still have 4 hours the most to enjoy staring to nowhere, letting time pass. Greggo and Allen were busy with their piat-piat while another one was busy in the kitchen. Siegfred and Epoy were snoring already. Jim was beside me, stranded in his thoughts, staring into blankness. I wonder what’s with him these past days that he seems to be out of his usual self. Noli did a little strumming of the guitar. And I found myself lost in my thoughts. Everybody were quiet except the drizzles of oil in the sardines and eggs being cooked. I just miss the good ol’ days when the guys and I hang out doing our own businesses. The guys were excited to make me taste their specialty! Hahaha.. It had been so long since I last joined them for lunch. Simply missin’ it. Sorry guys! Hekhek!
Noli played one of my favorite songs, Takipsilim of CallaLily. I simply love it - listening to how it is played. Much to my surprise, the chords of the song are easy to play. I had Noli teach me how. And I did finish playing the song after merely thirty minutes of practicing. I guess I’m back to my old self - the frustrated artist. Hekhek!!
Ilang hakbang papalayo
Sa bawat singhot
Ako’y napapaso
Ihahanap ka ng langit
Saan kita itatago?
Ang buhay di mahalaga
Kung ikaw hindi makakasama
Walang ibang idadalangin
O diyos ko
Wag kang agawin sa akin
Kislap ng ‘yong mga mata
Ang siyang nagbibigay ng kulay
Mga bulong ng hangin na naguugnay
Sa’yo at sa’king buhay
At sayong paglayo
Tangay tangay mo ang buhay ko
Sa bawat pintig ng puso ko
Aking dalangin
Wag kang agawin sa akin
Gagawin ang lahat
Wag kang agawin sa akin
Gagawin ang lahat
Wag kang agawin sa akin
Gagawin ang lahat
Gagawin ang lahat
Gagawin ang lahat
O diyos ko, wag kang agawin sa akin
