Hungry Young Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kaylamig hangin
Liwanag buwan para lang sa atin
Sana maibabalik ko ang panahon
Dahil di
Makalimutan ang kahapong
Kaysaya
Di ko maipinta
Tunay kong saya
Naka-ukit sa isipan
Hanggang sa paglubog ng buwan
Sana maibabalik ko ang panahon
Dahil di
Makalimutan ang kahapong
Kaysaya
Bumalik ka
Bumalik na
Bumalik ka
Hanggang ngayo'y nagiisa
Walang buwan
Wala ka na
Alaala ang sinasayaw
Kapiling ko'y ikaw
The lyrics to Hungry Young Poet's song, "Panahon," describe the joy and beauty of the rain, wind, and moon, which seem to exist solely for the listener's enjoyment. The singer expresses a desire to return to a past time that was filled with happiness and togetherness, a time that is deeply etched in their mind despite the passing of time. The song is brimming with nostalgia and longing, as the singer tries to recapture the fleeting moments of their past.
The first verse creates a stunning picture of the ideal weather in which the rain is delicious, the breeze is chilly, and the moon illuminates everything just for them. The second verse reaffirms the singer's wish to revisit the bygone days because they don't want to forget the moments that once brought them joy. The third verse expresses the singer's inability to paint an accurate picture of their joy, which is deeply ingrained in their mind until the moon sets. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to return to the time when they were content and joyful, emphasizing the strength of their longing.
Overall, the song is a beautiful meditation on memory, memory's power to evoke past emotions, and the sublime beauty of nature that can make even our most evocative memories seem delicate and fleeting.
