Okay. Inspirational song. Yes. Laya is not big on the religion, inspirational thingy, but... Listen to that silvery voice! Never fails to give me goosebumps. And she makes it look so effortless. One of the best the country ever produced... we lost so much when Carol Banawa decided to quit showbiz.

The movie is great too. Drama, as drama goes... but great. Alzheimer's disease... if you're getting old, and losing your memories, how do you make your family appreciate what they have? What do you do when everybody seems to be throwing away what you'd give your life to hold on to?

I miss Carol Banawa. :(



Tanging Yaman
Version by Carol Banawa

Ikaw ang aking Tanging Yaman
Na di lubusang masumpungan
Ang nilikha mong kariktan
Sulyap ng 'yong kagandahan

Ika'y hanap sa t'wina,
Nitong pusong
Ikaw lamang ang saya
Sa ganda ng umaga,
Nangungulila sa'yo sinta

Repeat I

Ika'y hanap sa t'wina,
Sa kapwa ko
Kita laging nadarama
Sa iyong mga likha,
Hangad pa ring masdan
Ang 'yong mukha

Repeat I
Sulyap ng iyong kagandahan...

===================

Only Treasure
Carol Banawa / Translated by Laya

You are my only treasure
That I cannot fully discover
The loveliness that you have created
Is a mere glimpse of your beauty

You are always searched for,
By this heart
To whom you are the only joy
In the beauty of the morning,
I find myself longing for you, oh love

Repeat I

You are always searched for,
In my fellow man
I always feel your presence
Among all of your creations,
I still long to gaze
Upon your face

Repeat I
a mere glimpse of your beauty...
