Jang Geum and Captain Jung Ho's love theme:
Alipin
[Shamrock]
Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana'y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin
[Chorus:]
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...
Ayoko sa iba
Sayo ako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso't pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya
[Chorus:]
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...
[Coda:]
Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta't sa akin wag kang mawawala
Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin
Slave
[translated by Laya]
Although I cannot admit it
you are precious to me
Although I cannot contemplate it
when I sleep I dream of you
Although my mind may be rather murky
I hope you listen to what my feelings scream
[Chorus:]
I am your slave although you don't know it
I admit sometimes I can be insensitive
I hope that you can hear it
I long for your embrace.
I don't want anyone else
I'll never get tired of you
Whatever you may say
Trust that it will be heard
Even if we're like cats and dogs sometimes
Darling, with you I'm happy
[Chorus:]
I am your slave although you don't know it
I admit sometimes I can be insensitive
I hope that you can hear it
I long for your embrace.
[Coda:]
Although I may try to reach the stars
As long as I don't lose you
I am your slave although you don't know it
I admit sometimes I can be insensitive
I hope that you can hear it
I long for your embrace.
Because you're the only one I want by my side
Whether the night is cold or hot
I just want to say
That you're the only one I will ever love.
Dae Jang Geum opening and ending theme:
Pangarap na Bituin
[Faith Cuneta]
Saang sulok ng langit
Ko matatagpuan
Kapalarang di naghihintay
Sa pangarap lang namasdan
Isang lingon sa langit
At isang ngiting wagas
May talang kikislap
Gabay ito sa tamang landas
Chorus:
Unti-unting mararating
Kalangitan at bituin
Unti-unting kinabukasan ko'y magniningning
Hawak ngayo'y tibay ng damdamin
Bukas naman sa ‘king paggising
Kapiling ko'y pangarap na bituin
Ilang sulok ng lupa
May kubling nalulumbay
Mga sanay sa isang kahig isang tukang pamumuhay
Isang lingon sa langit
Nais mag-bagong buhay
Sa ‘ting mga palad
Nakasalalay ang ating bukas
(repeat chorus)
Oh…….
(repeat chorus)
The Star I Long For
[translated by Laya]
In which corner of the sky
will I find
a fate that isn't waiting for me
that I've seen only in my dreams
One look at the sky
and one true smile
A star will sparkle
and be a guide on the right way
Chorus:
Slowly reaching
heavens and stars
slowly, my future will shine
Right now I hold a strong heart
and tomorrow when I awake
I will be with the star I long for.
So many corners of earth
hide those who sorrow
those who are used to a life
of surviving from day to day
One look at the sky
wishing for a new life
Our futures
are in our own hands.
(repeat chorus)
Oh…….
(repeat chorus)
Jumong opening and closing theme and love theme:
Hold On
[Shamrock]
Hey, lady, how’s life been movin’ on
I can’t deny it now you are gone
This is the first time, can I make it through
Without you now, do the things I used to do
It’s getting harder to ease the pain
The feelin’ changes, love still remains
I don’t know how if I can get this right
Maybe given time, I’ll make the most of what I’ve got
REFRAIN 1
Is this the price we pay
With all the vict’ries we shared
Faithfully, we’ve got a reason to go on
I know it’s good to be true
Just spend the nights with you
Let me tell you that our love can make it through
CHORUS
Hold on, lady, hold on
We’ve got to go on now
This feelin's so strong
Hold on, lady, hold on
It’s a burning desire
Comin’ right down the wire
Sweet talkin’, it’s all in the line
There’s no turning back unless you make up your mind
The expectations after all of these years
Risin’ to the moment, let’s forget all our fears
REFRAIN 2
Is this the love we have
With all the glories we shared
Faithfully, we’ve got a reason to go on
I know it’s good to be true
Just spend the nights with you
Let me tell you that our love can make it through
[Repeat CHORUS]
AD LIB
BRIDGE
And when the night is over
Well, no one can deny it, gotta believe in
We couldn’t ask for more than to hold each other tight
It’s just we’ll never take things for granted
CHORUS
Hold on (hold on), lady, hold on
We’ve got to go on now
This feelin’ so strong
Hold on (hold on), lady, hold on
It’s a burning desire
Comin’ right down the wire
Hold on, lady, hold on (hold on)
We’ve got to go on now
This feelin’ so strong (feelin’ so strong)
Hold on, lady, hold on
It’s a burning desire
Comin’ right down, right down the wire
Shining Inheritance theme:
I Will Take You Forever
[Kris Lawrence and Denise Laurel]
I was a man who always played around in love
So quick to take but so afraid to give enough
But now I’ve found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
And time can’t take away
I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart
And the dreams that young girls dream
Were just vanishing in the dark
But now I’ve found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
Now my heart belongs to you
And I will always be your best friend
Now my secrets are safe with you
And the magic will never end
Now you are the one
And heaven will only know
What only our eyes can say
They say
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
anyone else but you, anyone else but you.
You (you)..oohhh.
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
Now I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
anyone else but you.
I will girl take you forever
By your side I won’t leave you never
I don’t need anyone else but you
And I will take you… ohhh…forever. Ohh…
I will (I will) take you forever.
Secret Garden theme. This song is a Filipino classic and has been covered many times. The Secret Garden theme was sung by 19-year-old Jake Vargas.
Basta't Kasama Kita
[Jake Vargas]
Sa tuwing tayo't magkakalayo
hindi matahimik ang puso ko
bawat sandali hanap kita
'di mapakali hanggang muling kapiling ka
dahil kung ika'y makita ng
labis labis ang tuwang nadarama
magisnan lamang ang kislap ng iyong mata
kahit ano pa ay kakayanin ko na
CHORUS:
Basta't kasama kita
lahat magagawa
lahat ay maiaalay sa'yo
basta't kasama kita
walang kailangan pa
wala nang hahanapin pa
basta't kasama kita
giliw,sana ay ikaw na nga
ang siyang mananatiling kasama ko
dahil kung ika'y mawawala
pati lahat sa buhay ko'y maglalaho
ngunit...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
walang kailangan pa
wala nang hahanapin pa
basta't kasama kita
As Long As You're With Me
[translated by Laya]
Whenever we're apart
my heart cannot find peace
every moment I look for you
I cannot rest until you're with me again
because whenever I see you again
I feel so much joy
Waking up to see the sparkle in your eyes
I feel that I can take on anything.
CHORUS:
As long as you're with me
I can do anything
anything that I can offer you
as long as you're with me
I don't need anything else
I can't ask for anything else
as long as you're with me.
My love, I hope that you're the one
who will always be with me
because if you'll be gone
everything in my life will fade away
but...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I don't need anything else
I can't ask for anything else
as long as you're with me.
Hwang Jini's theme
Minsan Pa
[Faith Cuneta]
Kay tagal ko nang pangarap
At laging nang dasal
Pag-ibig na sadyang wagas
Ngunit waring kay ilap
Ng palad kong ito
at ako'y patuloy na bigo
O pusong kay sakit
Ala-alang kay pait
At kung muling balikan
Ang lahat ng nagdaan
Tila wala pang minahal
At walang natagpuan
Nais ko sanang mag-isa't
Huwag nang umibig pa
Kung yan man ay totoo
At manatili sa mundo
Na walang buhay
Walang kulay
Walang nagmamahal
Ngunit kong akoy
Maghihintay umasa pa't
Umibig pang muli
minsan pa...
Minsan pa akong nangarap
At sanay maganap
Sa iyo'y ibibigay lahat
Narito ngayo't kailanman
Ikaw ang langit ko
Tanging ningning ng buhay ko
Halina sa piling ko
Alisin ang takot ko
At sa muli'y malasap
Ang pag-ibig na ganap
At ang pangarap na mundo
Ay matupad sa piling mo
Ayaw ko na muling
Mabuhay na nag-iisa
Ikaw ang simulat wakas
Ang ngayon at ang bukas
Ikaw ang pag-asa habang buhay
Mahal pa rin kita
At hanggang wakas
Pag-ibig ko'y sadyang wagas..
Ngayon at kailanman ....
At ang pangarap na mundo
Ay matupad sa piling mo
Ayaw ko na muling
Mabuhay na nag-iisa
Ikaw ang simulat wakas
Ang ngayon at ang bukas
Ikaw ang pag-asa habang buhay
Mahal pa rin kita
At hanggang wakas,
pag-ibig ko'y
sadyang wagas..
Ngayon at kailanman...
minsan pa...
One More Time
[translated by Laya]
For so long I've dreamed
and always prayed
for a love that's truly pure
yet it seems so elusive
this fate of mine
and I keep on being disappointed
O heart that hurts so much
such bitter memories
and if I should go back again
to all that had gone by
it seems I've never really loved
and found no one
I want to be alone
and never love again
If this is true
and I'll stay in a world
without love
without color
without someone to love me
But if I
should wait and hope
to love once again
one more time
One more time I dreamed
and hope that it will come true
I'll give everything to you
Here now and forever
you are my heaven
the only light of my life
Come be with me
take away my fears
and let me once again feel
a complete love
And the world I've dreamed of
will come true with you
I don't want anymore
to live alone
You are the beginning and the end
the present and the future
you are hope, and all my life
I'll still love you
And till the end
my love will always be true
now and forever
And the world I've dreamed of
will come true with you
I don't want anymore
to live alone
You are the beginning and the end
the present and the future
you are hope, and all my life
I'll still love you
And till the end
my love will always be true
now and forever
One more time...
