Hanggang Hukay

The melody of this Tagalog song is taken from the aria E Luce Van Le Stelle from the opera Tosca by Puccini. another favorite of the Three Tenors. My Tagalog version starts with the phrase- " O dulci baccia languide carezze..."

     (This is no translation of the Italian aria; I just happened to like the melody and
           made my own Tagalog lyrics to fit the air...)     

     O kay sarap sana ang mabuhay sa piling
     Ng kasintahang ang pagsuyong alay sa iyo ay tunay;
     Hindi taksil, salawahan;  Ang diway'y
     Busilak, parang talang uma-alalay,
     Marunong makiramay at magpatawad
     Kung ako'y sumablay..
     Ganyan sana ang ka-akbay,  hanggang hukay.....


                      (Tagalog lyrics by Skep/vdeperalta)
