Hello Steemians, here's my entry to open mic weekly contest by @luzcypher & @pfunk.

At this time I'll be playing my own composition a tagalog (Filipino) song.

"At Sana"

Original Composition By: @g10a

Verse I

Isang gabing malungkot
Nakaupo lang sasulok
Walang ibang ma-isip
Ang mangarap na sanay mayakapka

Chorus:

At sanay nanditoka
Makasama sa bawat oras
At sanay maari bang ibalik
Ang kahapon
At sanay nandito ka
Makasama sa bawat oras
At sanay ibalik woooo

Verse II

Kahit anung aking gawin
Di ka maalis sa isip ko
Anu pa bang dapat gawin
Mapatunayang pag-ibig ko’y totoo

(Repeat churos)

ADLIB:

BRIDGE:
ikaw ba’y may puso
ikaw ba’y bulag sa katotohanan
At bakit di mo magawang ibigin
Ang puso kong ito wooo

Chorus 2:

At sanay nandito ka
Makasama sa bawat oras
At sanay maari bang ibalik
At sanay nandito ka
Makasamaka at mayakap ka samuli

Coda/Outro:

At sana nandito ka
Makasama ka sa muli

English Translation

"And I Wish"

Original Composition By: @g10a

Verse I

One lonely night
Sitting along the corner
Nothing to think for
Dreaming that I can hug you tight

Chorus:

I wish you were here
Right beside me all of the time
I wish I could turn back time
Those memories we had
I wish you were here
Right beside me all of the time
I’m hoping we’ll be fine again

Verse II

Whatever I will do
You’re still in my mind
What else I can do
To prove to you that my love is true.

(Repeat churos)

ADLIB:

BRIDGE:

Do you have the heart
Are you blind for what is right
Why can’t you love me
This lonely heart of mine

Chorus 2:

I wish you were here
Right beside me all of the time
I wish I could turn back time
I wish you were here
Right here beside me and hug you tight again

Coda/Outro:

I wish you were here
To be with you again.

About the song/lyrics:

I actually composed this song when I was in college, I made it not because I just like to make a lyrics but because I was heartbroken at that time. So its quite easy for me to produce the story of those words 'coz no need for me to do the research but to express what I feel and what I want. It is one of my ways for conquering my state of solitude.

When I was in college, I formed a band named DOZPERADOS, we used to play in our town as a regular performer every December celebrating the charter day together with the other local bands in our town. I used to be the lead guitarist(but i am not so good at it) way back 2006 up to 2009. In 2010, our vocalist join to another band and the member decided to let me lead the vocal(I can sing but not that perfect).

Since we were short of budget the band slowly vanished, my best friend esme who used to be the lead/rhythm guitarist got married at the early age of 18. Our bassist was employed in a place very far from us. So no more time for the band.

During those times we only borrow or sometimes even rent an instrument like guitar or bass guitar since we don't have our own every time we have a play.

As you can see in my video I used two guitars, one I borrowed from my colleague and the other one I humbly ask the electronic store cashier to let me use their guitar for the ad-lib part.

I wish I can buy my own guitar.

Thanks for watching! I hope you like it.

GOD BLESS US ALL.
