Tanging Yaman
Bukas Palad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ikaw ang aking tanging yaman
Na di lubusang masumpungan
Ang nilikha mong kariktan
Sulyap ng 'yong kagandahan

Ika'y hanap sa t'wina
Nitong pusong ikaw lamang ang saya
Sa ganda ng umaga
Nangungulila sa'yo sinta

Ikaw ang aking tanging yaman
Na di lubusang masumpungan
Ang nilikha mong kariktan
Sulyap ng 'yong kagandahan

Ika'y hanap sa t'wina
Sa kapwa ko kita laging nadarama
Sa iyong mga likha
Hangad pa ring masdan ang 'yong mukha

Ikaw ang aking tanging yaman
Na di lubusang masumpungan




Ang nilikha mong kariktan
Sulyap ng 'yong kagandahan

Nasusulat :

Eclesiastes 7:2
Ang Biblia 2001

"Mas mabuti pang magtungo sa bahay ng pagluluksa
kaysa bahay ng pagdiriwang;
sapagkat ito ang katapusan ng lahat ng mga tao;
at ilalagak ito ng may buhay sa kanyang puso."

My eye tears while listening at this song. Lyrics are so very emotional. Talagang maiimagine mo lahat na mga mahal mo sa buhay, especially yung mga nauna na sa atin sa harap ng Panginoon😭😒

One of my favorite Mass songs. Mostly sung as A COMMUNION SONG during Wedding Masses, the song can also be sung on days where the Gospel Reading speaks about the Lord as our true treasure in life (i.e. Discourse on storing up treasures in heaven, Parables of the Treasure in the Field & the Pearl of Great Price, and the Encounter of Christ with a Rich Young Man). My favorite part of the song is the 2nd voice in Verse 2 by the males. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™

My mom sung me to sleep with this song when I was younger (about 6 or 7). This is the first time I’ve heard this in about 7 years (I’m 14 as of writing this). I’m in tears.
