KAY GANDA NG ATING MUSIKA - RYAN CAYBYAB

Another classic created by Ryan Caybyab is this song. This was popularized by another OPM icon Hajji Alejandro. The song talks about Filipino music.  This reflects some Filipino culture integrated in its lyrics. 

We say thank you for the music because we have hymns to put baby to sleep, and the inspiration one gets from beautiful sights and scenes in nature. 

We express our feelings through music. We immortalize artists because of the songs they have created. We remember the Michael Jackson of this earth, Whitney Houston, Richie Valens, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and all the big names. They have all gone but their music remained. 

I wouldn't have this blog site if not for the music. So thank you music!

Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika (How lovely our music)

Ryan Cayabyab / Hajji Alejandro

Magmula no'ng ako'y natutong umawit (Since I learned to sing)
Naging makulay ang aking munting daigdig (There was color in my world)
Tila ilog pala ang paghimig (My hymn is like the river)
Kung malalim, damdami'y pag-ibig (If deep, the feeling is love)
Kung umapaw ang kaluluwa't tinig (when it overflows, the spirit and voice)
Ay sadyang nanginginig (is intendedly trembling) 

*This part is like saying that in singing all our heart out, the voice trembles, signifying that we could feel the emotion of the singer.

Magmula no'ng ako'y natutong umawit (Eversince I learned to sing)
Bawa't sandali'y aking pilit mabatid (Every moment, I tried to discover/learn)
Ang himig na maituturing atin (the tone/sound which we can say is ours) *meaning the kind of music which identifies the Filipino spirit
Mapupuri 'pagka't bukod-tangi (which can be praised because it is unique)
'Di marami ang 'di magsasabing (Not a lot is not saying)
Heto na't inyong dinggin (Here it is, you listen)

Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Ito ay atin, sariling atin (This is ours, our very own)
At sa habang-buhay, awitin natin (And in our entire life, let us sing it)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Ito ay atin, sariling atin (This is ours, our very own)

Magmula no'ng ako'y natutong umawit (Eversince I learned how to sing)
Nagkabuhay muli ang aking paligid (The surrounding came to life again)
Ngayong batid ko na ang umibig (Now I have discovered how to love)
Sa sariling tugtugtin o himig (Our own music or tone)
Sa isang makata'y maririnig (From one poet, we could hear)
Mga titik, nagsasabing (The letters/lyrics are saying)

Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)

Ito ay atin, sariling atin (This is ours, our very own)

At sa habang-buhay, awitin natin (And in our entire life, let us sing it)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)
Ito ay atin, sariling atin (This is ours, our very own)

Kay ganda ng ating musika (How lovely is our music)

Magmula no'ng ako'y natutong umawit (Eversince I learned how to sing)

end....
