Strike Up the Band - Quincy Jones & His Orchestra

ayaw kong iwan ka

ngunit wala naman akong magagawa

alam ko na ayaw mo rin

ngunit ito ang dapat nating gawin

masakit man ito.

kailangan kong lumayo

dahil may mas mahalaga

kaysa sating nadarama

at hindi itong dadamin ang dapat nating unahin

may tamang panahon

ngunit hindi iyon ngayon

at sana ay malaman mong mahal kita, pero mas mahal ko siya

Di sapat na dahilan

ang pagsinta wala namang kabuluhan

upang ating ipagpalit

sa ating tungkuling nakamit

masakit man ito.

kailangan kong lumayo

dahil may mas mahalaga

kaysa sating nadarama

at hindi itong dadamin ang dapat nating unahin

may tamang panahon

ngunit hindi iyon ngayon

at sana ay malaman mong mahal kita, pero mas mahal ko siya

minsan kailangan ding di natin sundin ang tibok nitong puso

sana kahit na magkalayo

ay wag tayong hihinto

masakit man ito.

kaysa sating nadarama

at hindi itong dadamin ang dapat nating unahin

I don't want to leave you

but I can do nothing

I know you don't want to either

but this is what we must do

even if it hurts.

I have to stay away

because there is more important

than we feel

and it will not feel what we should prioritize

have the right time

but that is not the case now

and I hope you know I love you, but I love him more

Not enough reason

passion is meaningless

for us to exchange

in our duty achieved

even if it hurts.

I have to stay away

because there is more important

than we feel

and it will not feel what we should prioritize

have the right time

but that is not the case now

and I hope you know I love you, but I love him more

sometimes we also have to not follow its heartbeat

hopefully even further away

let's not stop

even if it hurts.

I have to stay away

because there is more important

than we feel

and it will not feel what we should prioritize

have the right time

but that is not the case now

and I hope you know I love you, but I love him more
