Moonstar88 defies this stereotyping with their latest album under Sony BMG.
Maychelle Baay (vocals/guitars); Herbert Hernandez (guitars); Paolo Bernaldo (bass); Bon Sundiang (drums) came up with a very apt title TODO COMBO! While most bands’ music grows but personally drifts apart, this group confesses that their journey together has grown further from being mere band members to a band fully-bonded by experiences on and off the road.

Four individuals with careers outside the band – the restaurateur and music video director Paolo, advertising guy Herbert; radio marketer Bon; and clinical researcher Maysh- has emerged with a fresh and positive spin to songs such as Tadhana, Can’t Stop, Migraine and their much-lauded version of APO classic Panalangin. Tracks such as Di Kasi, Late Ka Na Naman, Bintana, and their YANO remake – Senti, meanwhile, remain faithful to the band’s trademark sound.

Late Ka Na Naman
Moonstar88 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bakit ba hindi makita
Sabi mo kita kits sa Shoemart
Ano ba ang dahilan at di ka makarating sa oras

Sawa na ako sa paghihintay
Buti pa magmiryenda na muna
Bigyan mo lang ako ng dahilan
Kung di iiwanan kita

Late ka na naman
Ano ba ang dahilan
Late ka nanaman
Mag isip isip ka muna

Bakit ba hindi makita
Sabi mo kita kits sa Shoemart
Ano ba ang dahilan at di ka makarating sa oras

Piyesta sa amin kaya sobrang traffic
Hindi ako makasakay
Ayoko ng ganyang dahilan
Pwede bang mag isip ka naman ng iba

Late ka na naman
Ano ba ang dahilan
Late ka na naman
Mag isip isip ka muna

Piyesta sa amin kaya sobrang traffic
Hindi ako makasakay (ayoko ng ganyang dahilan)
Bagyo sa amin ang tubig ang lalim
'Di ako makatawid (sawa na ako sa paghihintay)
Ang haba ng pila wala kaming tubig
Kailangan ko pang mag igeb

Late ka na naman
Ano ba ang dahilan
Late ka na naman
Mag isip isip ka muna

Late ka na naman
Ano ba ang dahilan
Late ka na naman
Mag isip isip ka muna

Late ka na naman
Ano ba ang dahilan
Late ka na naman
Mag isip isip ka muna
Mag isip isip ka muna
Mag isip isip ka muna
