Jam
Kevin Roy & Cooky Chua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I: Kevin Roy
Hirap umawit mag-isa
And kasabay lumang gitara
Parang walang saysay ang kilos ko sa mundo

II: Cookie Chua
Pero ang kinabukasan mo
Tungkulin ba ng ibang tao
Maghanap ng entablado mo
Ngayon.

III: Kevin Roy and Cookie Chua
Wag nang pagmasdan ang pangyayari
Gumala't gumalaw
Lamang sa ihip ng damdamin
Sabay sabay ng sumigaw

Chorus: (Both)
Kilos kabataan oras natin to
Makialam, makijam, makilahok
Kilos kabataan buhay natin to
Ang mundong dinatnan tayo magpatakbo
Makijam ka pare ko

IV: Kevin Roy
Gusto ko man maki-isa
Sa paglutas ng mga problema
Anong magagawa ng isang katulad ko

V: Cookie Chua
Pero ang kinabukasan mo
Tungkulin ba ng ilang tao
Makibahagi sa bagahe ng mundo

VI: Kevin Roy and Cookie Chua
Wag lang pagmasdan ang pangyayari
Gumala't gumalaw
Lamang sa ihip ng damdamin
Sabay sabay ng sumigaw

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: (Both)
Kevin Roy
Matuto ka makisaya
Ang mundo may magka-iba

Cookie Chua
Sabay sabay kung mag-ingay
Makilahok, magpakilala





(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Overall Meaning

The song "Jam" by Kevin Roy and Cooky Chua talks about the struggles that young people face in finding their place in the world.

The line "makijam ka pare ko" emphasizes the need for camaraderie, for friends to unite in a common cause, to participate in the world and shape their own destinies.


The bridge further underscores the importance of discovering one's identity and purpose in life, despite differences in background or culture. It urges young people to find joy in learning and to express themselves through music and other forms of creative expression.


Overall, the song is a rallying cry for young people to take control of their lives and work towards creating a better future for themselves and the world.
