Sa oras na nakita ka, Ang puso ko'y nangamba, Napa-ibig mo ako sa mga titig mong nakababaliw, Na sa tuwing magtatagpo ang tingin ang puso ko'y humihiling na sana'y akoy ibigin mo rin Atin ng simulan ang unang pahina ng Kabanata sa ating pagmamahalan, At sa kalagitnaan ng hating gabi ikaw ay isasayaw sa ilalim ng buwan

[Verse] Matt Ward wears pajamas like a royal robe Remote in hand he's in his perfect abode Dishes stack up but he doesn't care He's busy daydreaming in his favorite chair [Chorus] Oh Matt Ward King of comfy and slow Never in a hurry Just go with the flow Why walk the miles when you can stay put Laziness is art And you’re the masterfoot [Verse 2] He lets the phone ring Ignores the outside world In his domain He’s got a flag unfurled Why chase dreams when you can nap instead Matt Ward's in bliss Never leaves the bed [Chorus] Oh Matt Ward King of comfy and slow Never in a hurry Just go with the flow Why walk the miles when you can stay put Laziness is art And you’re the masterfoot [Bridge] Friends say get up but he just grins Life in slow-mo’s where the fun begins From sunrise to moon He’s taking it light Matt Ward’s got it right Day and night [Chorus] Oh Matt Ward King of comfy and slow Never in a hurry Just go with the flow Why walk the miles when you can stay put Laziness is art And you’re the masterfoot

[Verse] Cinco monitos saltando sobre la cama Uno se cayó y se golpeó la cabeza Mamá llamó al médico y el médico dijo No más monitos saltando sobre la cama [Verse 2] Cuatro monitos saltando sobre la cama Uno se cayó y se golpeó la cabeza Mamá llamó al médico y el médico dijo No más monitos saltando sobre la cama [Chorus] Tres monitos jugando con sus juegos Uno saltó y se dio un buen golpe Mamá llamó al médico y el médico dijo No más monitos saltando sobre la cama [Verse 3] Dos monitos haciendo travesuras Uno brincó y se dio en la cara Mamá llamó al médico y el médico dijo No más monitos saltando sobre la cama [Verse 4] Un monito saltando sobre el colchón Se dió un golpe y lloró con razón Mamá llamó al médico y el médico dijo No más monitos saltando sobre la cama [Bridge] Ahora no hay monitos brincando ni jugando Pero seguro pronto estarán trepando Mamá cuidando y el médico avisando No más monitos sobre la cama saltando

In the majestic cradle of the Andes, where peaks ascend to celestial heights, The Incas etched their illustrious narrative beneath the infinite firmament. Lush terraces and winding pathways intertwine, A realm of marvel, where their enduring legacy radiates. Oh, the Inca sun gleams resplendently, In the realm of gold and resplendence. From Machu Picchu's exalted elevations, Their essence soars aloft. With fortitude and sagacity, they molded the terrain, The triumphs of the Incas shall eternally endure.

[Verse] In the streets of Shayestaganj Roki and Imtiyazz ran free Madrsha days we laughed so wild Under the old banyan tree [Chorus] Oh Shayestaganj we can't forget The secrets in the air With Roki and Imtiyazz by my side We hadn't a single care [Verse 2] Chasing dreams through dusty lanes Skipping stones in the river flow Our laughter echoed through the hills In places only we would know [Chorus] Oh Shayestaganj we can't forget The secrets in the air With Roki and Imtiyazz by my side We hadn't a single care [Bridge] Nights of whispers and morning sun Adventures had just begun Roki's smile and Imtiyazz's jokes In memories we stay young [Verse 3] Now cities grow and times change fast But heart's still where it used to be In Shayestaganj with brothers dear And dreams alive as they can be

(Verse 1) I’ve been drowning in the noise, Lost my way but found my voice, Through the wreckage, I’ll survive, I was born to come alive. (Chorus) I’ll keep rising from the fall, I’ll stand tall, I’ll break it all, In the dark, I’ll find my light, I’m unstoppable tonight. (Verse 2) They can’t steal the fire in me, I’ll burn brighter, you will see, All the battles that I’ve won, I’m just getting started, hun. (Chorus) I’ll keep rising from the fall, I’ll stand tall, I’ll break it all, In the dark, I’ll find my light, I’m unstoppable tonight. (Bridge) Let the world spin, I won’t fade, I’m the storm that they can’t tame, I’m unbreakable, I’ll never break, I’m the dream they can’t erase. (Chorus) I’ll keep rising from the fall, I’ll stand tall, I’ll break it all, In the dark, I’ll find my light, I’m unstoppable tonight. (Chorus) I’ll keep rising from the fall, I’ll stand tall, I’ll break it all, In the dark, I’ll find my light, I’m unstoppable tonight.

Old habits creep in, late at night, When the echoes of whispers hold me tight. Memories of laughter, your hand in mine, Dancing in the gazebo, lost track of time. (Pre-Chorus) Through the haze of the past, I stumble and sway, In a world of our making, where shadows play. Roses wrapped in thorns, sweet pain in the air, Secrets in the silence, a bond that we share. (Chorus) We’re dancing with shadows, painting the skies, In a love that’s a crime, where the heart never lies. Old habits die hard, but tonight we’ll be free, In this mafia of dreams, just you and me. (Verse 2) Twilight whispers stories of all that we’ve done, Chasing our desires, two souls on the run. From the ashes we rise, like flickers of light, Caught in the chaos, but holding you tight. (Pre-Chorus) Through the blur of the moment, we chase what’s divine, In a kingdom of roses, your heartbeats with mine. Lost in the thunder, we’ll break through the night, Together we’re fearless, ready to fight. (Chorus) We’re dancing with shadows, painting the skies, In a love that’s a crime, where the heart never lies. Old habits die hard, but tonight we’ll be free, In this mafia of dreams, just you and me. (Bridge) Underneath starlit heavens, we’ll shatter the chains, With the power of dreams, we’ll rewrite our pains. In a world full of secrets, we’ll forge our own fate, Old habits behind us, with love, we create. (Chorus) We’re dancing with shadows, painting the skies, In a love that’s a crime, where the heart never lies. Old habits die hard, but tonight we’ll be free, In this mafia of dreams, just you and me. (Outro) With roses in hand, we’ll walk through the flames, Whispers in the night, forever remains. In this fantasy life, we’ll find what’s real, Side by side in the shadows, our hearts, they will heal

(Verse 1) Wrestling with my thoughts again, You set Your heart on me, my Friend. Through every storm, You give me peace, Your love brings all my doubts to cease. Tell me, Lord, What is it that I can't forget? You heal my heart and calm my mind, In You, I’m truly blessed, not stressed. (Chorus) Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? (Verse 2) When I am weak, You hold me tight, Your gentle hand brings me to light. And when I pray, You answer clear, Your voice brings strength, I have no fear. Tell me, Lord, Why does my heart feel so blessed? You’re always near and by my side, In You, I find my perfect rest. (Chorus) Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? (Bridge) Even through trials, You remain, Your love heals me and breaks all chains. With You, I stand, I’m not afraid, In Your embrace, I’m truly saved. (Chorus) Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the way You always stand by me? Why do I, Lord? Why do I? Love the peace that fills my soul so free? (Outro) Why do I, Lord? You are my Savior, Why do I, Lord? You light my way, All of my days, I’ll sing Your glory, Your endless love will never stray.
