Freddie Aguilar "Alaala" lyrics

Alaala

Akin pang naaalalaNoong si Ama'y nabubuhay paAng sabi niya'y, "FreddieMag-aral kang mabutiTulungan mo ang 'yong sarli"

Ang nais niya'y hindi nasunod'Pagkat ako'y may dahilanAng nais ko'y umawitTumugtog ng gitaraAt ako'y kanyang pinagbigyan

At kami'y nagkahiwalay

'Pagkat ako'y nangibang-bayanAt nang kami'y magkitaSiya ay bangkay naPumanaw na ang aking ama

Saan man siya naroroonMga payo niya'y tataglayin koAng kanyang alaalaAy lalagi sa isip koKahit siya'y wala na

Memory

I can still rememberWhen father was still aliveHe said "Freddie"Study well/Take your edcuation seriouslyHelp yourself

What he wished didn't happenBecause I have a reasonWhat I wanted was to singPlay the guitarSo he gave me that oppurtunity/chance

Then we parted waysBecause I went overseasAnd when we saw each otherHe's already a corpseMy father already left

Wherever he isHis advice I will keepAnd his memoryWill always be on my mindEven though he's gone
