Armed with cool, soothing melodies and infectious grooves, reggae music chose to celebrate life, love and dance, amidst heated surroundings of ferment and crisis. It shouldn’t be hard to imagine then why nearly 180° degrees around the equator and thirty years later, on an isle quite similar to Jamaica, several young lads aimlessly floating in the doldrums of urban campus life caught on to the reggae fever and formed BROWNMAN REVIVAL.

Started in late 1994, the band re-captures the original groove and spirit of the reggae vibe - when reggae appealed more to the heart and the hips, infusing it with pop undertones that strike a familiar chord with Filipino “aural palates”, not to mention their pelvic areas. BROWNMAN REVIVAL is made up of the one-drop rocksteady beats of drummer Dennis, the sensual grooves of Jao on bass, the sexy accents from percussionist Januarie, the steady “chanka” rhythms of Alphy on guitars, the wicked horn riffs of Jayson on trombone, Jojo on sax, Ambet on trumpet, capped-off by the passionate wailing of frontman Dino.

Drawing heavily on contemporary reggae acts such as Big Mountain and UB40, BROWNMAN REVIVAL creatively mixes the traditional roots sound of venerated reggae icon Bob Marley, with an OPM sensibility producing a festive but sensuous strain of Lover’s Rock reggae with such vibrant energy that never fails to leave the crowds winding and grinding their sweaty bodies to the band’s euphoric reggae party.

Brownman Revival Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uno, dos, tres, kwatro

CHORUS
Lintik na pag-ibig
Parang kidlat
Puso kong tahimik na naghihintay
Bigla mong ginulat
'Di ko man lang napansin ang iyong pagdating
Daig mo pa ang isang bagyong namuo sa malayo
Ihip ng hangin biglang nag-iba
Sinundan pa ng kulog at kidlat
Sa biglang buhos ng iyo sa akin
Ako'y napakanta

(Repeat CHORUS twice)

Mga halik mo't mga lambing, inuulan mo sa akin


Binabaha, binabagyo na ako ng iyong mga cariño
Nananaginip ba ako nang gising
Ay, tinamaan ng magaling
Nadali mo ang puso ko ng iyong kidlat

(Repeat CHORUS twice)

AD LIB
Lintik, lintik, woh woh woh
Parang kidlat

(Repeat 2nd Stanza)
(Repeat CHORUS twice)





Lintik, lintik, woh woh woh
Parang kidlat

Overall Meaning

The song "Lintik" by Brownman Revival is a classic Filipino reggae ballad that tells the story of two people falling in love unexpectedly. The lyrics speak of how the singer's heart was quietly waiting for love, unaware of the impending arrival of the beloved until she came "like a thunderstorm from afar" and caught him off guard. The singer then describes how the beloved's kisses and affections are like a storm that have left him drenched and overwhelmed with emotions, comparing them to lightning strikes that have electrified his heart.


The use of lightning and thunder as metaphors is a beautiful way of expressing the intensity of love, how it can strike unexpectedly and electrify one's being. The word "lintik" actually means "lightning" in Tagalog, an indigenous language of the Philippines, and the song's chorus uses this word to describe the intensity of the singer's feelings for the beloved, comparing them to a lightning strike. The use of Spanish counting in the opening also adds to the song's local flavor, as the Philippines has a long history of Spanish colonization.


Overall, "Lintik" is a love song that resonates with many Filipinos because it captures the essence of a passionate love affair that takes you by surprise and leaves you feeling exhilarated and overwhelmed.

Your kisses and caresses rain down on me


Binabaha, binabagyo na ako ng iyong mga cariño
I'm flooded and stormed by your affection


Nananaginip ba ako nang gising
Am I dreaming while awake


Ay, tinamaan ng magaling
Oh, struck by a powerful force

You've electrified my heart with your lightning

Electric shocks, oh oh oh


Parang kidlat
Like a bolt of lightning

LINTIK NA ESKWELA(by: Lyanne Martinez or by myself.hehe😊)

Lintik na eskwela
Parang kidlat
Kahapon lamang ay bakasyon pa,
Ngayo'y pasukan na.
Ayoko pang pumasok,
Sakit nanaman sa ulo.
Daig mo pa ang nanay ko na palaging sumisigaw,
Modules na walang katapusan,
Sundan pa ng project at exam.
Ilang modules pa ba ang bibilangin,
Ako'y napakanta.
