Dear Heart
Sharon Cuneta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At di mo pa kayang mag-isa
Sa bawat kaba alam ba nila
Ang pag-ibig mong nadarama
Di ka binigyan ng layang magmahal
Sa batang katulad mo ito'y bawal
Balang araw magugulat ang lahat
Sa bawat kaba, alam ba nila
Ang pag-ibig mong nadarama
Di ka binigyan ng layang magmahal
Sa batang katulad mo ito'y bawal
Balang araw magugulat ang lahat
Ikaw pala'y di na isang bata, dear heart
Dear heart
The song Dear Heart by Sharon Cuneta is a touching ballad about a young person who is struggling to express their feelings of love. The first verse sets up the image of the young heart, which is still too young to face the challenges of love and is not equipped to handle it alone. The heart is full of emotions, fears and insecurities, yet it is a beacon of love that is yet to be realized.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Di ka binigyan ng layang magmahal" which roughly translates to "You were not given the freedom to love." This sets the theme for the song, which is the conflict between the heart's desire for love and the societal taboos that inhibit it. As the song progresses, the message becomes clear that despite all the restrictions, the young heart is not a child but a person with honest feelings and aspirations.
The song resonates with anyone who has struggled with similar societal restrictions or explores the concept that love cannot be contained within set boundaries. It is a poignant reminder that sometimes the heart cannot be controlled or held back, and that ultimately, true love must be recognized and acknowledged.
