Harana by The Eraserheads

To be honest, it's just recently that I became familiar with this song. I pretty much got lost track of eheads songs after the 3 classic albums and a so-called Christmas album.

I'm pretty much amused with the catchy lyrics, overall band presence and of course the synth parts! (I've been interested in synths recently). I like the ending part where Ely goes thru cyclical "harana" chanting. Very powerful!

Thanks to the rarely heard function in my MP3 for getting me acquainted with this song.

Wag nang malumbay
Ang pag-ibig ko ay tunay
Sabihin man ng 'yung nanay na
Wala akong silbi sa buhay...tunay

Kung ako ang papipiliin
Ay nag amsterdam na ako
Wag mo lang akong pipilitin
Na wag gumamit ng gaheto

Buksan mo ang yung bintana
Dungawin ang humahanga
Bitbit ko ang gitara
At handa ng mang-harana

Na..na..na.naaaaa..

Wag nang malumbay
Ang pag-ibig ko ay tunay
Sabihin man nang yung kapit bahay
Na di ako nag susuklay
Oh..tunay

Kung ako ang papipiliin
Ay nag congressman na ako
Wag mo lang akong pipilitin na
Isuli ang bayad nyo

Tumutunog ang kampana
Hali ka na sa dambana
Bitbit ko ang guitara at handa ng
Mang harana

(harana) Na..na..na..naaaaaaaa
