Lux aeterna
London Sinfonietta Voices & Terry Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tiisin ang sakit na pang habang buhay
sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga matang nag papaalam
hindi ko to ginusto mas pinili ko lang lumayo, para maranasan mo ang kaligayahan
mas kailangan ka nya wala kong laban,
puso ang meron walang kayamanan subukan ko mang bawiin ka ay wala
kaya ala ala, sa panaginip, nalang makakasama, doon nalang kita mapapaligaya kaya.
aking pagdurusa, ang sakit sakit ng may kapalit ngunit alam ko naman na
di mo sya mahal, mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka.
bakit satin pa nangyari ano bang nangyari, pwede ang hindi nalang
kung puwede lang na masabe sa kanya na date ako ang minamahal
ng taong gusto mo, nanapilitan lang sayo,
para mapunan ang pangangaylangan, mas kailangan ka nya wala kong laban, puso lang ang meron walang kayamanan.
subukan ko mang bawiin ka ay wala.
kaya ala-ala, sa pananginip, nalang makakasama, doon nalang kita mapapaligaya kaya. mas pinili kong mabuhay ka sa piling ng iba, kahit na ang kapalit nito ay aking pagdurusa, ang sakit sakit ng may kapalit ngunit alam ko naman na
di mo sya mahal, mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka.
alam mo bang pinagisipang mabuti, di lang sa isang beses kung inisip ang
magyayari.Umamin namn, madami namang nakakalamang, wala mang laman,
sagana ka man, ay di man ko man lang. Maibigay kung ano ang nararapat,
sukliana nag pagmamahal tila para bang may lamat.
Binabangungot sa gabi pag naalala yung balak, hindi ako sumipot sa tagpuan dahil bakamapahamak ka.Walang lumipas na araw na hindi kita hinahanap, ilang taong nagtiis baka sakaling ikaw ay aking makausap,
kung sino sino na ang tianatanong ko paraan para lang makasagap kung saan ka
matatagpuan gusto ko lng naman humingi ng tawad. buahy pa ako pero parang patay, sa habang oras nang pag aantay umasang may babalik at dina muling aalis yan ang aking pinagpalagay. Inakala ko na ikaw ang kasabay, sa pagtanda natin at paglalakbay, ang lahat ng yun ay kinalimutan ko dahil mas pinili kong mamatay.
mas pinili kong mabuhay ka sa piling ng iba, kahit na ang kapalit nito ay aking pagdurusa, ang sakit sakit ng may kapalit ngunit alam ko naman na
di mo sya mahal, mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka.

The song Lux Aeterna by London Sinfonietta Voices and Terry Edwards is a heartbreaking ballad that centers around the theme of sacrifice for the sake of love. The lyrics speak of a love that is so strong, that the singer is willing to endure any pain or suffering as long as the object of their affection is happy. The first verse starts with the singer saying that they thought they could handle the pain of seeing the person they love leave, but they couldn't. They chose to distance themselves so the other person could find happiness, even if that meant giving up their own. The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment that the singer would rather die than be without the other person, even if it meant that they would be unhappy.
The second verse continues the tragic tale of unrequited love. The singer laments that they were not the one that was loved by the person they admired. They were a placeholder, a stop-gap measure until the person they loved found someone they truly cared for. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the depth of the singer's sacrifice. Finally, the bridge of the song hints at the singer's desperation and despair. They are consumed by the need to find the other person, to apologize, to make amends. They are waiting, hoping for their love to return, and yet they feel dead inside. The repetition of the last line, "mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka," becomes a haunting mantra, underscoring the depth of emotion the singer is feeling.

akala ko ay kaya kong
tiisin ang sakit na pang habang buhay
sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga matang nag papaalam
I thought I could endure the pain for a lifetime, but every time I see eyes saying goodbye, it hurts.
hindi ko to ginusto mas pinili ko lang lumayo, para maranasan mo ang kaligayahan
mas kailangan ka nya wala kong laban,
puso ang meron walang kayamanan subukan ko mang bawiin ka ay wala
kaya ala ala, sa panaginip, nalang makakasama, doon nalang kita mapapaligaya kaya.
I didn't want this, but I chose to leave so that you could experience happiness. You need them more, I have nothing. I only have a poor heart. Even if I try to take you back, I can't. So I'll just keep you in my dreams, where I can make you happy.
mas pinili kong mabuhay ka sa piling ng iba, kahit na ang kapalit nito ay
aking pagdurusa, ang sakit sakit ng may kapalit ngunit alam ko naman na
di mo sya mahal, mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka.
I chose for you to live with someone else, even if the price is my suffering. It hurts so much to have that price, but I know you don't love me. So I choose to die just for you to live.

Why did this have to happen to us? Can't we just ignore it? If only I could tell them I'm the one you love, not the one they forced you to be with. You need them more, I don't stand a chance. I only have a heart with no wealth. Even if I try to take you back, I can't. So I'll just keep you in my dreams, where I can make you happy. I chose for you to live with someone else, even if the price is my suffering. It hurts so much to have that price, but I know you don't love me. So I choose to die just for you to live.

Do you know how much I have thought about this, more than once? Admit it, many know, even if I'm poor and you're rich. If only I could give you what you deserve, love returned like there's no damage. I have nightmares thinking that you might get hurt if I show up. There hasn't been a day that I haven't looked for you. I've waited all these years just for the chance to talk to you, and I've asked anyone and everyone where to find you. I just want to ask for forgiveness. I'm still alive, but I feel like I'm already dead. I'm still waiting, hoping you'll come back and never leave again. I thought we'd grow old and travel together. But I forgot about all that because I chose to die for you.
mas pili kong mamatay ako, para lang mabuhay ka.
I choose to die just for you to live.
