lyrics
Sa buhay ko'y labisAng hirap at pasakit
Ng pusong umiibig
Mandi'y wala ng langit
At ng lumigaya
Hinango mo sa dusa
Tanging ikaw, sinta
Ang aking pag-asa
Dahil sa `yo nais kong mabuhay
Dahil sa `yo hanggang mamatay
Dapat mong tanungin
Wala ng ibang giliw
Puso ko'y tanungin
Ikaw at ikaw rin
Dahil sa `yo ako'y lumigaya
Pagmamahal ay alayan ka
Kung tunay man ako
Ay alipinin mo
Ang lahat sa buhay ko'y
Dahil sa `yo
Dahil sa `yo nais kong mabuhay
Dahil sa `yo hanggang mamatay
Dapat mong tanungin
Wala ng ibang giliw
Puso ko'y tanungin
Ikaw at ikaw rin
Dahil sa `yo ako'y lumigaya
Pagmamahal ay alayan ka
Kung tunay man ako
Ay alipinin mo
Ang lahat sa buhay ko'y
Dahil sa `yo
Because of You
(English Rough Translation)
My life is full of pain and suffering
A loving heart, there is no heaven
And when became happy, you retrieved me from despair
Only you my love, is my only hope.
Because of you I want to live
Because of you, 'till death
You should realize, there is no other love
My heart desires, you and you alone
Because of you, I am happy
My love, I will give you
If I ever really belong to you
All of these is because of you
If I ever really belong to you
All of these is because of you
Words and Music by Tom Spinosa and Mike Velarde Jr.
TOM SPINOSA: "The melody of "Dahil Sa Iyo" was originally written by Mike's father in 1936 in the Philippine Islands at the Manila Hotel where we met on one of my voyages to Manila. We were discussing it way back then. I was the orchestra leader on the USS President Lincoln. So I got acquainted with his father very well but it wasn't until 1949 that I actually wrote the English lyrics to it and made the deal with Mike. When I met Mike Jr. at the Jai-Alai night club in Manila in 1946, Mike did not have the song, but when we met again in May of 1949 he told me his father had given the song to him and I wrote the English lyrics to it.
The agreement I had with Mike was that I would take the tune to the U.S. and try to do something with it, whether through my publishing company or someone else's, and if I succeeded placing it we would divide the composers rights between us.
For the last 15 years I've been plugging it by handing out copies to Singers and Orchestra leaders throughout the world. This was possible due to my frequent travels abroad. I have a recording session scheduled on it with Tri-World Records of San Francisco."
