Akap by Imago

Akap is short for YAKAP. That means "embrace".  When we feel sad, an embrace would sure uplift us a bit.  When we embrace someone, we assure them that we are here to stay, we care, we love.

This is a song a few years back.  It was introduced to me by my beloved. I heard this before but wasn't paying too much attention to what it says until it was sung for me.

I am a very serious person. I've grown such because of a lot of life's cruelty shown to me.  It was cruel I say because I struggled with it all alone.  I have managed to endure too much pain in my heart but without regrets.  I don't regret my bad experiences because they taught me to be strong albeit I remained to be serious.

When I met my beloved, I learned how to give myself a reason to smile.  Well, to make the story short, it is a wonderful feeling when someone accepts you for who you are.  It is blissful especially when I am complemented, embraced for my shortcomings... hugged when I feel so down.

I translated this song for you to appreciate.  It is a love song. A song for an unconditional love which we are supposed to give to everyone... even if it hurts.  That's how my love will be.  And I will never ask for anything in return.


AKAP lyrics

Nagtatanong (Asking)
Bakit mahirap sumabay sa agos ng iyong mundo (Why is it difficult to go with the flow in your world)

Nagtataka (Wondering)
Simple lang naman sana ang buhay kung ika'y matino (Life is simple only if you're sane)

Sabihin sa akin lahat ng lihim mo (Tell me all of your secrets)
Iingatan ko (I will take care of them)
Ibaling sa akin ang problema mo (Blame all your problems to me)
Kakayanin ko (I can bear it)

Pikit mata kong iaalay ang buwan at araw (With closed eyes, I will offer to you the moon and the sun)
Pati pa sapatos kong suot (Inclund the shoes I'm wearing)

Nagtatanong (Asking)
Simple lang naman sana ang buhay (Life is simple)
Kung ika'y lumayo (Only if you'll go away)

Sasamahan ka sa tamis (I will give you company in sweetness)
Sasamahan ka sa dilim (I will give you company in darkness)
Sasamahan ka hanggang langit (I will give you company until heaven)
Sasamahan ka sa tamis (I will give you company in sweetness)
Sasamahan ka sa pait (I will give you company in bitterness)
Sasamahan ka sa dilim (I will give you company in darkness)
Sasamahan ka hanggang langit (I will give you company until heaven)
Sasamahan ka (I will give you company)
