Kailanpaman
Kevin Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pangakong magpakailanman
Nagsinungaling ka lang diyan
Ang bukas mo't sino man
Ay di nakikita at di maisasalba
Kung tangayin sa agos ng panahon
Kaya pangsamantala habang nandito pa
Hanggang sa dulo ng mundo
Huwag kang mangakong ganito
Mahal ang pamasahe mo
Magmamahalan tayo dito
At di man kailan pa man ang ating samahan
Sarilihin ang pagkakataon
Kaya pangsamantala habang nandito pa
Tanggapin mo ang pag-ibig ko ngayon
Tuwing kapiling lang kita
Ang mundo ko'y sumisigla
Makulimlim man ang panahon
Buhay ang buhay ko ngayon
(Repeat 2x)
The song "Kailanpaman" by Kevin Roy tells the story of a person who finds it hard to understand why someone would promise forever but end up lying about it. The opening lines describe the frustration and confusion of the singer, who cannot comprehend why promises are made only to be broken. The second line suggests that the other person is not trustworthy and cannot be relied upon.
The third and fourth line talk about the future and suggests that there is uncertainty about what it holds. The next set of lyrics assert that despite the confusion and ambiguity, the singer is willing to love the person in the present moment, fully accepting them for who they are. The song stresses the impermanence of everything in life and suggests that one should grab every opportunity while it lasts.
The chorus repeats twice, reminding the listener to take advantage of the present moment, accept love while it is there, and not make promises about the future. The final lines celebrate the joy of being with the person and how it makes the world a better place.
Overall, the song conveys an important message about living in the present and cherishing what one has.

Hindi ko maintindihan
I don't understand
Pangakong magpakailanman
Promise to be forever
Nagsinungaling ka lang diyan
You just lied
Ang bukas mo't sino man
Your future and whoever it may be with
Ay di nakikita at di maisasalba
Cannot be seen and cannot be saved
Kung tangayin sa agos ng panahon
If taken away by the flow of time
Kaya pangsamantala habang nandito pa
So let's enjoy while we're still here
Tanggapin mo ang pag-ibig ko ngayon
Accept my love now
Hanggang sa dulo ng mundo
Till the end of the world
Huwag kang mangakong ganito
Don't make this promise
Mahal ang pamasahe mo
Your fare is expensive
Magmamahalan tayo dito
We will love each other here
At di man kailan pa man ang ating samahan
Even if our relationship won't last forever
Sarilihin ang pagkakataon
Take advantage of the opportunity
Tuwing kapiling lang kita
Whenever I'm with you
Ang mundo ko'y sumisigla
My world comes alive
Makulimlim man ang panahon
Even if the weather is gloomy
Buhay ang buhay ko ngayon
My life is alive today

I came across this track from Kevin Roy by accident and have loved it since. And before I fly back to the Phils June 2018, I was messaging the guys of Razorback to inform me of any gig during my stay there, but there was none ..except the ones on the 12th June without Kevin. Carry on making music Kevin. Big fan here.
