The Heart of Kiripia

[Instrumental]

"Kape, kape, sa bawat umaga, Nagbibigay sigla, nagdadala saya. Isang lagok, mundo'y gumaganda, Kape, kape, laging kasama! Kape, kape, sa gitna ng araw, Pagod ay nawawala, puso'y sumasaya. Puno ng lakas, puno ng pag-asa, Kape, kape, ikaw ang dahilan!"

[Verse] I wandered through the twilight streets Where dreams lay soft in the evening breeze The night was laced with whispers low And fate had secrets left to show [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw you standing there A shadow wrapped in golden air Your gaze ignited sparks unplanned A fleeting fire I couldn’t withstand [Chorus] We danced where time forgot to stay In stolen steps we’d drift away Our hearts would hum a melody Of endless nights and mystery [Verse 2] The moonlight painted tales untold A map of silver skies to hold We traced the stars with wild delight Drawing answers in the quiet night [Chorus] We danced where time forgot to stay In stolen steps we’d drift away Our hearts would hum a melody Of endless nights and mystery [Bridge] But dawn it came to call us back It pulled the threads and split the track Yet even as the morning grew I carried dreams that tasted of you

It’s the end of Hilary Term, Hilary Term, Hilary Term Though you will all soon return return return We’ll miss you at weekends, weekends weekends (bom, bom, bom) Though we know your study transcends, the Law library the Law library It’s hard to say farewell, But we’ve rung the final bell. (bom, bom, bom) The Weekend Team will go And drown our sorrows in Merlot. Merlot Merlot

[Verse] There once was a P.A named Jamal it's true Took a sailor out with the rough sea blue The winds howled mad like a lion's roar But Jamal stood firm he'd seen it before [Verse 2] The navy men came with a questioning gaze Why's the P.A here in the stormy haze The skies were dark and the waves did pound But Jamal just laughed as the sea clapped sound [Chorus] Oh Jamal strong as the stormy tide Facing the winds with a daring stride When trouble loomed he never did stay But when the calm left he ran away [Verse 3] The clouds did gather and the thunder called Jamal stood still as the raindrops sprawled Against the gale he planted his feet A master of chaos a storm elite [Bridge] The navy men puzzled they couldn't know This P.A had stories like an old winds show But just as sudden when peace might sway Jamal tipped his hat and darted away [Verse 4] Did he fear quiet did he crave the storm An enigma wrapped in his nimble form With a grin so sly and a quicker pace Jamal left behind not a single trace

[Verse] Miền Tây nắng cháy chẳng hề ngơi Trong tay là khô tôm giữa trời Chân bùn mái lá gió thầm thở Người dân bước đi chẳng thấy mờ [Verse 2] Vua khô ra chợ giữa xóm đông Lời cười người bán vui má hồng Gánh khô ngã nghiêng đầu làng đợi Mùi thơm thoáng nhẹ gọi từng nơi [Chorus] Ai đi xa nhớ vị khô đầy Miền Tây tình đậm khó phai giây Mỗi miếng khô là cả trời nhớ Vua khô đứng đó giữa miền này [Verse 3] Giọt mồ hôi đổ trên đồng bát Khô treo quanh nhà thơm ngát nhạt Nước mắm đậm đà thêm vài trái Hương vị quê nhà sống mãi mãi [Bridge] Đêm nghe dòng sông nhẹ chảy qua Khô phơi còn đó như chính ta Từng ngày lao động đời bình dị Miền Tây yên bình một bài ca [Chorus] Ai đi xa nhớ vị khô đầy Miền Tây tình đậm khó phai giây Mỗi miếng khô là cả trời nhớ Vua khô đứng đó giữa miền này

[Verse] Tik-tik, tak-tak, tug-tug sa kumpas ng ulan Sa patak ng oras, sa ritmo ng ulan Pitik-pitik puso, sumasabay sa hambalos Tila kulisap ang huni sa lilim ng talbos [Chorus] Tang-tang, tung-tang—awit ng kalikasan Sa bawat tunog, damhin ang pagmamahalan Plink-plink, pak-pak, aliw-iw ng ‘di mapantayan Mundo’y gumagalaw, pahinga’t tahimik ang sanhi ng pantaw

[Verse] The moon is sharp it cuts the dark Your voice a stain upon my heart The trees all whisper as I walk Broken strings and silent talks [Verse 2] The stars they shimmer but they lie Promises fade like clouds in the sky A shadow lingers full of pain Echoes screaming in the rain [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood [Verse 3] These boots are heavy with regrets Treading paths we can't forget The river calls but I won’t dive It holds the secrets we tried to survive [Bridge] Your photograph it won’t stay still It battles time but bends its will The past finds holes to seep inside No place left in me to hide [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood

[Verse] I still remember the way we laughed A fire in the night that burned so fast Now it's quiet you're not here Shadows creep in I fight the fear [Verse 2] The echoes linger like a haunting song Footsteps fade but the pain feels long Your light was my map My northern star Now I’m wandering Don’t know where you are [Chorus] I’m screaming out into the void A melody broken A love destroyed The world feels dimmer without your glow Lost in the silence I fear to show [Bridge] I trace the places where we used to stand Empty whispers slip right through my hand The clock just mocks me it won’t rewind A future without you is hard to find [Verse 3] I still feel the warmth of your fleeting smile A stolen second worth every mile The laughter’s a ghost The tears collide When we shattered A part of me died [Chorus] I’m screaming out into the void A melody broken A love destroyed The world feels dimmer without your glow Lost in the silence I fear to show

The Ballad of Pastor John (A Folk Song of Rise and Ruin) (Verse 1 – Slow & Solemn) Oh, gather ‘round and hear the tale, of Pastor John so bold, A preacher man with silver tongue, who turned his words to gold. He built a flock, he raised a shrine, he swore he’d lead the way, But oh, the sins that hide in light would drag his soul away. (Chorus – Catchy & Haunting) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Verse 2 – Midtempo, Driving Beat) He claimed the Lord had shown him signs, a vision pure and bright, But in the dark, he chased a high, a different kind of light. A sacred jar, a breath so foul, he called it holy grace, And one by one, his faithful bowed to seek that sweet embrace. (Chorus – Repeated, More Energy) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Bridge – Stripped Down, Reflective Tone) They dragged his name through fire and stone, The temple fell, he stood alone. No prayer could save, no gold could buy, So south he fled beneath the sky. (Verse 3 – Final Verse, Slow & Wistful) Now in the heat of Mexico, he sits with jar in hand, A fallen king, a faded man, just sippin’ on the sand. No hymns remain, no flock to kneel, just whispers on the breeze, A preacher lost, a lesson told, to bring the proud to their knees. (Final Chorus – Haunting & Drawn Out) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your time is done. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Outro – Fades into the night…)
