For those who waited a year, Rico Blanco's new album "Your Universe" is definitely worth it. It's a defining mark in the 35-year-old musician's career, and a reminder that he has the freedom to experiment and collaborate with others without compromising sound.
Through the ten tracks of "Your Universe," we can confirm that Rico's personal passions are gracefully translated into songs distinctly and undeniably his, even as he collaborates with some of the industry’s best musicians for this album.
He knows how to tickle the fancy of Filipinos by delivering the right amount of romantic prose minus the extra saccharine shot of sap. Perhaps it can be said that he knows the formula of the Filipino's heart which makes his music work. Definition and identity. This is what sets Rico Blanco apart from most of the local acts. He knows his niche in the industry and makes his mark the way a true blooded artist should: original and a strong definition of one's identity.
Wag Mong Aminin

Di ko matitiis ang mundong ito
Kung di kita kasama
Pwede bang maawa ka sakin
Wag mo naman diretsuhin
Patalim na alam kong parating
Ang katotohanan
Hindi ko kakayanin at ayokong masaktan
Kung pag-ibig sakin
Ay mamamaalam
Wag mong aminin
Wag mong masyadong isipin
At wag nang patagalin pagdurusa
Tapusin na natin
Loko lang try lamang ngumiti
Ng pusong pinipilit ang pagkawindang
Kesa pagkasawi
Wag mong aminin
Ang katotohanan
Hindi ko kakayanin at ayokong masaktan
Kung pag-ibig sakin
Ay mamamaalam
Wag mong aminin
Kung okey lang naman
Kundi naman masyadong hassle
Baka pwedeng pagbigyan
Pagbigyan
Pagbigyan
Wag mong aminin
Ang katotohanan
Hindi ko kakayanin at ayokong masaktan
Kung pag-ibig sakin
Ay mamamaalam
Wag mong aminin
Wag mong aminin
Wag mong aminin wag mong aminin
Wag mong aminin wag mong aminin

Magsinungaling ka please
Please lie to me
Di ko matitiis ang mundong ito
I can't bear this world without you
Kung di kita kasama
If I'm not with you
Pwede bang maawa ka sakin
Can you have mercy on me
Wag mo naman diretsuhin
Don't say it directly
Patalim na alam kong parating
I know a sharp pain is coming
Wag mong aminin
Don't admit it
Ang katotohanan
The truth
Hindi ko kakayanin at ayokong masaktan
I can't handle it and don't want to be hurt
Kung pag-ibig sakin
If love for me
Ay mamamaalam
Is going to leave
Wag mong masyadong isipin
Don't overthink it
At wag nang patagalin pagdurusa
And don't prolong the suffering
Tapusin na natin
Let's end this
Loko lang try lamang ngumiti
Just pretending to smile
Ng pusong pinipilit ang pagkawindang
Of a heart forcing itself to feel dizzy
Kesa pagkasawi
Rather than hurt
Kung okey lang naman
If it's okay
Kundi naman masyadong hassle
If it's not too much of a hassle
Baka pwedeng pagbigyan
Maybe you could give in
Wag mong aminin wag mong aminin
Don't admit it, don't admit it

5 yrs ago ramdam na ramdan ko tong kantang to, dumating sa punto na nag record ako nito kinkanta habng nag gigitara tas sabay send sa messenger nya ahaha..
Share lang kc 3 yrs n rn nkalipas nung huli kong naramdam ung sakit pg nrrinig ko to..
Ngaun pinakinggan ko to kc baka ung mismong sumulat at kumanta nito balikan tong kanta nya at papakinggan nya na parang ibang artist ang gumawa.
May mga artist n nakakagawa ng masasakit n kanta hnd dahil sa na experience nila kundi nkukuha nila sa mga ibang tao..
Kung dati d mo ramdam, tas ngaun ramdam mo na tagos pa.

This is from a perspective of a selfish or lonely person not ready for a break up. Even though both of them knew all along that the relationship is no longer healthy. Ung isa NAGMAMAKAAWA habang ung isa NAAAWA naman. Kalungkot. Thank you sir Rico for this song, underrated ineed.
