I Won't Ever Hope Again

Di Na Ko Aasa Pa
- Introvoys

Ilang gabi na akong lito
Di ko maisip kung bakit nagkalayo
Mahal kita ngunit mahal mo siya
Ang hinihiling ko lamang, mahalin ka niya.

[Chorus]
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli
Kung ikaw ay babalik
Saka na lamang ngingiti
Tandaan mong mahal kang talaga
Tanging ikaw lamang (ang) nasa aking alaala.

Naglalakad, hawak-kamay
Tila ba’ng ligaya niyo’y walang katapusan
Ang nakaraan nating dalawa
Di ko na makita sa yong mga mata.

[Bridge]
Sa iyo sana’y maghihintay
Ikaw ang gusto ko sa habang buhay, ngunit…

[Coda]
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli - I won't ever hope again
Kung ikaw ay babalik sa ‘king piling - If you'll come back to my arms
Saka na lamang ngingiti - I can smile again
Tandaan mo, mahal kang talaga sa akin, giliw -
Tanging ikaw lamang, nasa aking alaala
Di na ‘ko, di na ‘ko
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli
Kung ikaw ay babalik sa aking piling
Di na ‘ko, di na ‘ko
Di na ‘ko aasa pa…
sa ‘yo.

This is a nice song... I just realized that I'm not alone in what I'm feeling right now...
Here's a post from Paco (writer of this song):

#4 Paco Arespacochaga { Apr 12 1:53 PM } thank you for your comments. this was my story. my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. i wanted to win her back so i saved money to buy her a BIG teddy bear from Blue Magic the the Robinson’s Galleria. As I was going out of the store, I saw her walking hand in hand with another guy. She looked at me “without meaning” and it really floored me. As I rode the bus in Edsa, with the HUGE teddy bear on my lap, I was singing what was to be the chorus to “Di Na Ko Aasa Pa”. Vic Carpio, who was our guitar player at the time, encouraged me to make a song out of it. The rest made history….

It seems this is taken from his personal experience. I guess that's why it's a great song because genuine emotions/feelings were into it.
