KZ Tandingan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pag-ibig ay kulay at tiwala'y tumatatag pag tunay
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magka-isa nang tumibay at di mahihiwalay
Tatatag wag lamang matakot
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Nasaktan man puso dapat mong buksan
Sa pamilyang iyong kanlungan
Kahit may alitan pag-aalangan
Pangamba at takot dapat tanggalin
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magka-isa nang tumibay at di mahihiwalay
Tatatag wag lamang matakot
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Ah una mong hakbang tulad ng akin lang di mabibigo
Lumipas iwan aral tandaan buhay magbago
May lakas na galing sa tubig at sa puso mo'y mahika
Bibigyang dangal ang pamana pag liwanag ang 'yong dala
Magkaisa nang tumibay at di mahihiwalay
Tatatag wag lamang matakot
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Na subukan (at magtiwala tayong kanyang gabay)
Kumandra kumandra

Kumandra kumandra
Kumandra kumandra ah
