Uhaw Dilaw Lyrics
Sabik nang mahalikan
Mayakap ka't masayaw sa ulan
Ang mundo'y gagaan
Mundo ko'y gagaan
Maligaw man ng landas ay
Hahanapin ang kalsada
Patungo sa 'yo
Ikaw ang daan
Dumilim man ang paligid
Ay ikaw pa rin ang ilaw ko
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bakit uhaw sa 'yong sayaw?
Bakit ikaw?
'Di bibitaw, sa 'yong sa 'yo
Laging ikaw
Ako'y giniginaw, halika rito
Dito ka lang sa tabi ko
Mananatiling uhaw, uhaw, uhaw
Hindi na mapakali
Puso'y nagmamadaling
Lambingin at suyuin ka
Oh, aking giliw, ako'y iyo
Kahit pa matalisod, mapagod
At bumigay ang tuhod
'Di ako hihinto
Ikaw aking dulo
Mawala man ang anino ko
Nandito ka, oh, ilaw ko
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bakit uhaw sa 'yong sayaw?
Bakit ikaw? (Bakit ikaw?)
'Di bibitaw, sa 'yong sa 'yo
Laging ikaw
Ako'y giniginaw, halika rito
Dito ka lang sa tabi ko
Mananatiling uhaw, uhaw, uhaw
Nauuhaw, naliligaw, nanliligaw, humihiyaw
Nalulunod sa kada taludtod ng pagkatao mo
Nakakatulalang tula, bawat bigkas ng labi mo
Nauuhaw, sumisigaw
Bakit uhaw sa 'yong sayaw?
Bakit ikaw?
'Di bibitaw, sa 'yong sa 'yo
Laging ikaw
Ako'y giniginaw, halika rito
Dito ka lang sa tabi ko
Mananatiling uhaw, uhaw, uhaw
