Angeline Quinto, “Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin”

I first heard Angeline Quinto when she guested in Erik Santos’ recently concluded Music Museum concert, PowER IKons, and both my wife and I were blown away. More than just the birit (high notes), she had a nuance to her singing, a control that seemed otherwise rare in the current crop of Filipina divas making the rounds of local television shows. It helped a lot that we learned about her story, and how she rose to the top. And she’s pretty. So Caths and I bought her debut CD – a steal at Php199! – and were really impressed by its quality.

This track I’ve linked to is not available on her CD, but she sang it live at PowER IKons, and I was blown away. I’ve always liked this song, and it isn’t easy filling in the shoes of the incredible Lani Misalucha, but I think Quinto held her own and took it to the next level. Kudos!

BUKAS NA LANG KITA MAMAHALIN Lyrics
Angeline Quinto

Kay hirap palang umibig sa di tamang panahon
Kung bakit ngayon ko lang natagpuan ang isang katulad mo

Sana noon pakita nakilala
Sana noon pa lang na ang puso ay malaya pang magmahal

Bukas nalang kita mamahalin
Sabay sa paglaya ng ating mga puso
Bukas na lang kita mamahalin
Kay hirap pa lang umibig sa di tamang panohon
Kung bakit ngayon ko lang natagpuan ang isang katulad mo

Sana noon pakita nakilala
Sana noon pa lang na ang puso ay malaya pang magmahal

Bukas nalang kita mamahalin
Sabay sa paglaya ng ating mga puso
Bukas na lang kita
Bukas na lang kita
Bukas na lang kita
Mamahalin
