A Filipino Love Song

Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin is a nostalgic song. This is a romantic song perfect to serenade your special someone. I remember that we performed this song in Japan and on the ship Nippon Maru while we participated in the program Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program.

This song was composed by Aaron Paul del Rosario and interpreted by various recording artists.This was performed based on the arrangement of Arnold E. Zamora by the Manila Concert Choir at Northern Christian College Auditorium in Laoag City. The lyrics is as follows:

Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin

Mahal pangako sa iyo hindi magbabago
Ikaw lang ang iibigin ko
Kahit ikaw ay lumayo at masaktan ako
Asahan na di maglalaho

Ang pag-ibig ko’y tanging sa iyo lamang
Kung kaya’t giliw dapat mong malaman

Minsan lang kitang iibigin
Minsan lang kitang mamahalin
Ang pagmamahal sa yo
Walang hangganan
Dahil ang minsan ay magpakailanman

Minsan lamang sa buhay ko
Ang ‘sang katulad mo
Ako rin ba’y iniibig mo
Dinggin puso’y sumasamo
Sinusumpa sa iyo ikaw ang tanging
dalangin ko.
