One of our better telenovelas. One of the best-beloved OPM songs of all time... perennial movie and soap opera themesong, perpetual wedding song. For all those Rey Valera and Sharon Cuneta fans... for all those who remember Yna and Angelo... for everybody, inside or outside of the Philippines, who has ever watched Pangako Sa Iyo... this one's for you.



Pangako sa Iyo
Rey Valera / Version by Vina Morales

Ngayon lang nabatid na hindi biro ang pag-ibig
Nakapagtataka nadarama'y tunay
Maligaya habang sa iyo'y
buong puso't buhay ko ngayo'y di na mawawalay

Chorus:
Pangako sa 'yo
Ipaglalaban ko
Sa hirap at ginhawa
Ang ating pag-ibig
Upang 'di magkalayo
Kailan man
'Pagkat ang tulad mo
Ay minsan lang sa buhay ko...

Noon akala ko
Ang wagas na pag-ibig
Ay sa nobela lang
Matatagpuan
At para bang kay hirap
Na paniwalaan

Ikaw, ikaw pala
Ang hinihintay kong pangarap
Ngayong kapiling ka
At tayo'y iisa
Hindi ko hahayaan
Na sa atin ay may hahadlang

Repeat Chorus
Repeat II
Repeat Chorus

For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
In sickness and in health
Till death do us part

Upang 'di magkalayo
Kailan man
'Pagkat ang tulad mo
Ay minsan lang sa buhay ko...

Repeat Chorus:

Pangako sa Iyo
Rey Valera / Version by Vina Morales / Translated by Laya

Only now have I realized that love is no joke
Strangely, the feeling is real
Such happiness, while from  you
My whole heart and life will never be parted

Chorus:
I promise to you
I will stand by and fight,
Through better or worse,
For our love
So that we will be parted
Nevermore
Because someone like you
Enters my life only once...

Once, I thought
That true love
Will only in novels
Ever be found
And it seems so hard
To believe...

You, it was you all along
The dream that I've been waiting for
Now that I'm with you
And we are one
I will never allow
Anything to come between us

Repeat Chorus
Repeat II
Repeat Chorus

For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
In sickness and in health
Till death do us part

So that we will be parted
Nevermore
Because someone like you
Enters my life only once...

Repeat Chorus:
