BOY
Cherie Gil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

boy, ang awiting 'toy sa 'yo
boy, sa'n ka man naroroon
Kabilang dito ang damdamin kong nagbago
nagbago buhat ng iwanan mo
'di ko nililimot sa aking alaala
maging araw at gabi
hanggang ngayo'y nagsisisi
hello, boy...
hello, boy...
mag-ingat ka sana
Sa pag tulog ko'y larawan mo ang nasa unan ko
Umaasang sa pangarap ko'y kasama ka
'Di ako nag-iisa
Tulad ngayong wala ka na
I love you, boy...
Mata ko'y lumuluha
Boy, kailangan pa kita
Sana'y umabot sa iyo ang paki-usap ko
hindi ako hihinto
Ikaw ang iniibig ko
Hello, boy...
hello, boy...
Hello, boy...
hello, boy...
Sa pag tulog ko'y larawan mo ang nasa unan ko
Umaasang sa pangarap ko'y kasama ka
'Di ako nag-iisa
Tulad ngayong wala ka na
I love you, boy...
Mata ko'y lumuluha
Boy, kailangan pa kita
Sana'y umabot sa iyo ang paki-usap ko
hindi ako hihinto
Ikaw ang iniibig ko
Hello, boy...
hello, boy...
Hello, boy...




hello, boy...
I love you, boy...

I ve seen her sang this song the first time in a noontime show, but i can't recall if its in eat bulaga on channel 9 or student canteen in 1979 , i was 18 at that time and now im turning 61, since then on I fell in love with this song and Miss Cherie's voice. I continued to follow her career by tuning in to her Champoy comedy sitcom in the early 80's together with Subas Herrero, Noel Trinidad, Mitch Valdez, Ronnie Lazaro and the rest of the cast which I already forgot and to the unforgettable Bituing walang Ningning that catapulted her to stardom because of her epic line" You're nothing but a second rate trying hard copycat" what a great dialogue between her and Miss Sharon. Miss Cherie Gil you will be sorely missed, but will never be forgotten. Go ahead , meet our creator, rest in peace and condolence to your love ones.
