Habang Panahon
Acel Bisa Lyrics

In "Habang Panahon," Acel Bisa sings about a love that seems to have slipped away. The opening lines pose a question: "Naririnig mo pa ba ako?" ("Can you still hear me?") as if to suggest that the singer's love is not being heard or acknowledged anymore. The second line, "O tinakpan ka na ng hilig ng mundo" ("Or have you been covered by the world's distractions?"), adds another dimension to the potential cause of the love's distance; the struggles and difficulties of daily life have overtaken the attention that the love once held. The following lines highlight the despair and pain that the singer is feeling as a result of this distance: "At sakit na iyong nadarama, binalot ka ng luha't ayaw humingi ng awa" ("And the pain you feel, it's wrapped you in tears and you won't ask for mercy").

The chorus of the song, "Awitin natin habang panahon, pagmamahal na binuhos, huwag sanang ibaon, pakinggan mo aking bulong" ("Let's sing it through the ages, the love we poured out, please don't bury it, listen to my whisper"), emphasizes the steadfastness of the singer's love and yearning, asking the other person not to let go of the love that was once shared. The song concludes with a plea: "Ano pa ba ang dapat kong gawin/upang maniwala ka sa akin/kalian ko makakamit ang iyong pansin/at ako'y iyong mahalin?" ("What else do I have to do/to make you believe me?/when will I get your attention/and for you to love me?")

Overall, "Habang Panahon" is a poignant yet hopeful song about a love that has faded but is not yet gone. It touches on the struggles many go through to maintain a relationship amidst life's challenges and the importance of not losing sight of love's worth and value.
