Hello choir. It seem that many of you don't know the translation of Dahil Sa'iyo... So here it is...

Dahil Sa'iyo
Sa bu hay ko'y labis ang hirap at pasakit
Ng pusong umi ibig mandi'y wanla ng langit
A ng lumigaya hinango mo sa dusa
Tanging ikaw, sinta, ang aking pagasa

Dahil sa'yo, nais kong mabuhay,
Dahil sa'yo, hangang mamatay,
Dapat mong tantuin, wala ng ibang giliw
Puso ko'y tanungin ikaw at ikaw rin
Dahil sa'yo ako'y lumigaya
Pagmamahal ayalayan ka
Kung tunay mong ako ay alipinin mo
Ang lahat so buhay ko'y, Dahil sa'yo!


Because of you
All my life has been full of hardship and suffering,
For a loving heart there has been no heaven
But now I am happy; you took me from my suffering.
You alone, my love, are my hope.

Because of you I want to live,
Because of you, until I die.
You must already know I have no other love,
My heart desires you and you alone.
Because of you I am happy,
You gave me love.
If I am true, I will belong to you
All of my life, because of you.

Yup. And remember the story about how after the war, you fell in love, and gave birth to a Spanish baby. OK? Please choir JIA YOU!!!!!!!! Last few days already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can also watch the video of Dahil Sa'iyo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ388I6Gs9E

if you're hav the passion to sing...can you sing it whole-heartedly??...I can understand it is very tired to sing after sch when you're hav just finished studying...but since we want to achieve something...we got to make sacrifices.. and since we hav to do it, why don't we put in our very best to do rather than being 'anyhow'...
whether choir is getting a gold anot...we are counting on each and everyone of YOU!!!:))...the outcome doesn't really matter,it matter is that we got to ask ourself did we really put in all the effort???and is the hardwork and processes that counts!!!OK?.get it?
Hope you're can think abt it and feel free to give yr comments/thoughts...:D
