Adapted from Nicanor Abelardo’s “Nasaan Ka Irog”

lyrics

REFRAIN 1:
Where are you, my river? (4x)

VERSE 1:
Why did your love quickly die? Didn’t you swear
You’ll always be there / to cherish me?

Cherish only me / Until death
Forever / But where is that pledge?

REFRAIN 2:
Where are you, my river? (4x)

VERSE 2:
How can you suffer / that I suffer?
How can you bear / that I’m all alone?

I look for you / in my memory
Everywhere / I look for you

Where are your words: / “I am your happiness”?
I am now lonely / Coz I can’t see you.

CHORUS:
My river / remember
Even though you’ve drowned / All your promises

My life won’t disappear / not completely:
My love for you / will always remain.

Remember / my river
My river / remember

My life won’t disappear / not completely
My love for you / will always remain

CODA:
Where are you my river? (4x)

In his hands, pianos become versatile mediums of violence and tenderness that produce label-defying compositions — not exactly avant or pop; not quite jazz or punk. ... more
