Upon the request of Yaoyao who arranged the welcome ceremony program in Heshan City, I prepared a song to sing. I did not have the chance to practice well because I was just informed the night before. I became busy browsing the internet for possible songs. I was lucky that I got it. I finally downloaded the lyrics and the music minus one of the song Be My Lady. I chose this song because I had the experience singing this song in Japan before and I found it to really giggle the ladies. Serenade or harana is rarely being done these days. Its a Filipino tradition that I showcased in China.
So on the performance itself, I just requested them to play the music and flash on the screen the lyrics so that I can follow it. It went well. I serenaded three Chinese ladies consisting of two big bosses in the education department and a student.This song was originally interpreted by the Philippine balladeer Martin Nievera and composed by Vehnee Saturno. Here’s the lyrics:
Come to me and take my hand and be my lady;
Truly, I must let you know that I'm in love with you,
All I want is you,
How I need you, so please...
Be my lady,
Maybe you would lose the pain if you just tell me;
Say the words you long to whisper that I want to hear,
Something's on your mind,
Is it hidden in your smile?
CHORUS 1:
Be my lady,
Just forget the past
It's time to mend your broken heart;
Let no walls divide us now;
Dry up the tears in your eyes,
Nothing to fear about,
I'll give you all that I have
Be my lady,
You're the one that I adore,
Please, do believe me;
I can never find the courage to resist your charm,
Nothing's more divine than each moment you are mine
CHORUS 1:
Be my lady,
Just forget the past
It's time to mend your broken heart;
Let no walls divide us now;
Dry up the tears in your eyes,
Nothing to fear about,
I'll give you all that I have
CHORUS 2:
Be my lady,
Let the sunshine through your heart
And make a brand new start;
Stay with me each night and day
Through all the rest of my life,
Just like a work of art,
My love will last until forever
CODA:
Just like a work of art
My love will last forever
