Annotations and Meaning
The music Ligaya by mrld explores themes of love, longing, and ambiguity. Through its passionate words and beautiful music, it delves into the emotional journey of finding clarity in a loving relationship. The title, "Ligaya," which means "joy" in Filipino, contrasts with the underlying uncertainty indicated in the song's lyrics. The opening stanza establishes a tone of admiration and longing, with the protagonist describing how they are attracted by their love interest, who appears unconscious of their deep sentiments. The pre-chorus makes a plea not to minimize their shared experiences, underlining the significance of what they've been through together. The chorus stands out for its vision of dancing as if it were the final time, evoking a desire to treasure every moment. The assurance that the partner will not be alone and the promise to accompany them to the end of delight demonstrate a strong commitment and hope for a shared future. In the second stanza, the protagonist alluded to a shift in the marital dynamics, wishing for the confidence to speak their genuine sentiments directly. The bridge introduces the concept of time passing and the uncertainty of whether the sentiments are mutual. The chorus is repeated to underscore the themes of commitment and longing, with a small change in the second chorus that adds intimacy by visualizing a dance without any witnesses, emphasizing a private, valued moment between the lovers. The song encapsulates the spirit of youthful romance, combining optimism, fear, and the intensity of first love. mrld's Ligaya, with its simple yet expressive lyrics, speaks to anybody who has experienced the complexity of love and the longing for reciprocation.Ligaya Song Lyrics
Ligaya by mrld
Sa'kin nakatingin
Parang lumilipad na lang sa hangin
'Di na mapakali
Ikaw lang naman ang ninanais
'Di ba nalilito ang puso mo kung saan na papunta?
Sa akin ba sinta?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Wag mo sanang isipin
Na parang wala lang sa'kin
Ang lahat nating pinagsamahan
[Chorus]
Isasayaw kita na para bang ito
Na ang panghuli natin, sinta
'Wag kang mag-alala
'Di kita hahayaang mag-isa
Sasamahan nga kita
Sa dulo ng ligaya
[Verse 2]
'Di pa ba halata
Na iba ang ihip ng hangin dito?
Kung pwede lang sabihin
Ng diretsahan ang aking gusto
Teka, ang bulag mo naman
Kung 'di pa rin na sisilayan
Nagbago na ang pagtingin
[Pre-Chorus]
'Wag mo sanang isipin
Na parang wala lang sa'kin
Ang lahat nating pinagsamahan
[Chorus]
Isasayaw kita na para bang ito
Na ang panghuli natin, sinta
'Wag kang mag-alala
'Di kita hahayaang mag-isa
Sasamahan nga kita
Sa dulo ng ligaya
[Bridge]
At ang oras ay tumatakbo
'Di pa rin alam kung gusto mo rin ako
[Chorus 2]
Isasayaw kita na para bang
Walang nakatingin sa'tin, sinta
'Wag kang mag-alala
'Di kita hahayaang mag-isa
Sasamahan nga kita
[Chorus]
Isasayaw kita na para bang ito
Na ang panghuli natin, sinta
'Wag kang mag-alala
'Di kita hahayaang mag-isa
Sasamahan nga kita
Sa dulo
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
[Verse 1]
Looking at me
As if you're flying in the air
Can't stay still
You're the only one I desire
Isn't your heart confused where it's going?
Is it with me, my love?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't think
That it's nothing to me
All that we've been through
[Chorus]
I'll dance with you as if this
Is our last, my love
Don't worry
I won't leave you alone
I will be with you
To the end of joy
[Verse 2]
Isn't it obvious
That the wind blows differently here?
If only I could say
Directly what I want
Wait, you're so blind
If you still can't see
My feelings have changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't think
That it's nothing to me
All that we've been through
[Chorus]
I'll dance with you as if this
Is our last, my love
Don't worry
I won't leave you alone
I will be with you
To the end of joy
[Bridge]
And time is running
Still don't know if you like me too
[Chorus 2]
I'll dance with you as if
No one is watching us, my love
Don't worry
I won't leave you alone
I will be with you
[Chorus]
I'll dance with you as if this
Is our last, my love
Don't worry
I won't leave you alone
I will be with you
To the end
