Buksan ang puso niyo..

Kay tagal na non, Itay... Bakit ayaw pang kalimutin?
Hindi rin naman masama ang aking kinalabasan
Kahit papano ako'y may narating

Kahit na hindi ang pinangarap mo para sa kin
Hindi naman maaaring ako'y sunud-sunuran lamang
Parati na lang tatakbo sa inyo Kahit ang puso ko ba'y pipigilan

Ang pagdurusa ko ay inyo bang kaligayahan?

Paki buksan ninyo ang puso niyo Kahit kaunting siwang pasilipin ako
Nag-iisang anak na sa inyo'y nagmamahal
Ang araw na ito'y matagal ko nang pinagdarasal
Paki buksan ninyo ang puso nyo Tanggapin ng buong pagkatao ko

Ang pagkakataon wag palalampasin
Ang araw na ito'y matagal ko nang pinagdarasal
Ang multo ng nakaraan atin ng kalimutan

Dugo man ang iluha ko'y walang magbabago

Kailan man di nya matatanggap ang kagandahan ko
Ano bang naisip ko at ngayon pa ko umasa

dahil kahit nun sya'y nabubuhay pa malamig na ang puso nya?....

Music excerp from ZsaZsa Zaturnnah: Ze Muzikal where ZsaZSa/Ada meets her/his zombie daddy. Amidst all those tummy-aching laughter during the musical, this scene brought tears to my eyes. (There should be a soundtrack release! Calling TP!). This song, brilliantly written by Vince de Jesus , seeks acceptance from the character's father. The way it was sang by Eula Valdez and Tuqx Rutaquio makes you feel the love and pain. Somehow one can relate, you know. Not only if you're gay. You've lived your life in a way you dreamt of, and proven your worth, yet somehow there is still an emptiness felt. It's reaching out to the significant people in your life-- whether they accept you as you are or not! Tears indeed! Not only in my eyes though (I had a peak at the audience watching). As effectively as this scene made us all teary-eyed and heavy in the chest, we again roared into laughter in the next.

From Carverhouse: TP adds two more shows. Feb 26 and Mar 5, Sundays at 8pm. Call Tanghalang Pilipino at 8323661 to reserve. Now na!

SIGH!!!! Just two?!?
