Bituin
Bukas Palad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kuminang ang marikit na bituin
At tumanak sa himbing na pastulan ng-abang
Pagkagising ng maralita
Nabighani sa bagong tala
Naglakad at tinungo sabsabang aba
Tala ng aming buhay
Liwanag, kapayapaan, kahinahunan
Kapanatagan ng puso, giliw ng Diyos
At pag-asa ng maralita ng Abang ulira
Biyayaan mo kami ng pagtulad sa Iyo
Ng magningning, bilang 'yong mga bituin
Sa isang pusong mapagtiis
Kuminanag ang marikit na bituin
At doo'y nanaginip ng tala, nagningning
Taimtim nating kalooban
Ginawa niyang kanyang himlayan, dalanginan
Nilikha niyang sabsabang Aba
The song Bituin by Bukas Palad narrates a story of a peaceful night where a beautiful star shone brightly above a quiet pasture. The opening line paints an image of tranquility and sets the mood for the rest of the song. The lyrics then shift to a depiction of the marginalized and disadvantaged who wake up to see the new star that has captivated them. They set out to follow the star and eventually find their way to a manger where Jesus, the Son of God, has been born. The lyrics describe Jesus as "tala ng aming buhay" (the star of our life) and "kapanatagan ng puso" (the comfort of our hearts), emphasizing the message that his birth brings hope and peace to the world.
The song is a beautiful representation of the Christmas story and highlights the themes of hope, peace, and love. It reminds listeners of the importance of finding hope in difficult times and finding comfort in the presence of Jesus. The lyrics also call on the listeners to emulate Christ's example and shine like stars in their own way, spreading love and hope to those around them.

Sa isang mapayapang gabi
During a peaceful night
Kuminang ang marikit na bituin
A beautiful star shone brightly
At tumanak sa himbing na pastulan ng-abang
And descended onto the waiting shepherd's pasture
Pagkagising ng maralita
Upon waking up of the poor
Nabighani sa bagong tala
They were captivated by the new star
Naglakad at tinungo sabsabang aba
They walked towards the humble abode
Jesus, bugtong na anak ng Ama
Jesus, the only Son of the Father
Tala ng aming buhay
The star of our life
Liwanag, kapayapaan, kahinahunan
Light, peace, and tranquility
Kapanatagan ng puso, giliw ng Diyos
Comfort of the heart, beloved by God
At pag-asa ng maralita ng Abang ulira
And the hope of the poor and needy
Biyayaan mo kami ng pagtulad sa Iyo
Grant us the grace to follow in Your footsteps
Ng magningning, bilang 'yong mga bituin
To shine brightly, like Your stars
Sa isang pusong mapagtiis
In a patient and enduring heart
Kuminanag ang marikit na bituin
A beautiful star shone
At doo'y nanaginip ng tala, nagningning
And there, they dreamt of the star, shining
Taimtim nating kalooban
In our earnest hearts
Ginawa niyang kanyang himlayan, dalanginan
He made it His dwelling, His sanctuary
Nilikha niyang sabsabang Aba
He created it, the humble abode

Nami-miss ko na kantahin mga songs ng Bukas Palad pang Christmas with my choirmates. Kanya kanyang buhay na kasi at nasa iba't-ibang bansa. 🥺 Merry Christmas, My PYC Fam. ❤️ Praying mabuo tayo at makakanta muli gaya ng dati. 🤍

Jesus, the reason for the Christmas season. 🙏🏻 Waterworks listening to this. Missing the Philippines. 😞

Another one of my favorite Christmas Mass songs, especially for the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord. The Star of Bethlehem lights the way for the Magi to go to the place where the Lord is, and worship him. This is the same Star that guides every individual, especially the poor, towards the light of Christ this Christmas. And that in return, we may shine like stars and bring light to other people.
