Pasko ng Paglaya
Bukas Palad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Panginoon, hanggang kailan kami magdurusa?
Panginoon, kailan sisikat umaga ng paglaya?
Panginoon, dumating ka na,
Kupkupin kami sa 'yong awa.
Kupkupin kami sa 'yong awa.

Narito na ang Pasko ng paglaya.
Bayan, magalak sa mabuting balita.
Tumingala at pawiin ang luha.
Narito na ang pinangakong tala.

Iniluwal ang sanggol ni Maria
Sa kanyang sabsabang payak at aba.
Ating haranahin, alayan ng saya.
Narito na ang tagapagpalaya.

Hesus, tinawag siya, hinirang ng Ama.
Narito na ang Pasko ng paglaya,
Bayang kinumutan ng mga tanikala.
Ang ligalig ng gabi ngayon ay payapa.




Narito na ang sanggol na Mesiyas,
Narito na ang Pasko ng paglaya.

Overall Meaning

The song "Pasko ng Paglaya" by Bukas Palad speaks about longing for freedom and waiting for the arrival of the savior. The lyrics address God and question the extent of the suffering that they must endure before freedom arrives. The repetitious call of "Panginoon, hanggang kailan kami magdurusa?" (Lord, until when must we suffer?) is a prayer that seeks relief from the hardships of mortality. The lyrics suggest that the coming of the savior and the arrival of Christmas bring hope and a chance for new beginnings.


As the song progresses, it shifts from lament to jubilation. The arrival of Christmas is described as a moment of liberation, a time of "paglaya." The second verse of the song implores the audience to rejoice in the "good news" of Christmas and to wipe away their tears. The birth of Jesus, which took place in a humble manger and was heralded by the angel's announcement, gives the people hope and reassures them that they will be liberated from their bondage.


The last verse of the song speaks about the coming of the Messiah, heralded as the one who was called and appointed by God to free the people from their chains. The birth of Jesus is declared as the "Pasko ng Paglaya," the Christmas of liberation, which brings peace and tranquility to a troubled world. The song speaks to the deeply held human desire for freedom, hope, and salvation.
