Kung alam ko lamang, ako'y iyong iiwan
'Di na sana ako nagmahal nang lubusan
Nguni't ang puso ko ay 'di natuturuan
Tulad ng paglimot, 'yan ay 'di ko alam
Kung kaya ikaw ang aking inibig
'Yan ay kusang nadama at 'di ko pinilit
Sa katunayan nga kahit sa panaginip
Laging naro'n ka at 'di maalis
Sana ay magbalik dahil nananabik
Madama ang init ng iyong pag-ibig
Nguni't hanggang kailan ako ay maghihintay?
Sana at sabihing 'di na magtatagal
Kung kaya ikaw ang aking inibig
'Yan ay kusang nadama at 'di ko pinilit
Sa katunayan nga kahit sa panaginip
Laging naro'n ka at 'di maalis
Pilit mang limutin kita
Bakit ba hindi makaya?
Ano nga bang mayro'n ka?
Kung kaya ikaw ang aking inibig
'Yan ay kusang nadama at 'di ko pinilit
Sa katunayan nga kahit sa panaginip
Laging naro'n ka at...
Kung kaya ikaw ang aking inibig
'Yan ay kusang nadama at 'di ko pinilit
Sa katunayan nga kahit sa panaginip
Laging naro'n ka at 'di maalis
Laging naro'n ka
Pilit mang limutin kita
Laging naro'n ka
About This Song
"Laging Naroon Ka" is a deeply emotional ballad about enduring love and the pain of abandonment, expressing the narrator's regret over loving so completely someone who ultimately left them. The lyrics explore themes of unrequited devotion and the inability to forget, with the protagonist lamenting that if they had known they would be abandoned, they wouldn't have loved so deeply, yet acknowledging that the heart cannot be taught or controlled. Musically, the song features Jaya's powerful, soulful vocals over an electronic-influenced arrangement that was characteristic of 90s Filipino pop, blending traditional OPM sensibilities with contemporary production. The haunting refrain "Laging naro'n ka" (You're always there) captures the torment of someone who cannot escape memories of lost love, even in dreams. This track became one of Jaya's signature songs and a Filipino classic, resonating with listeners through its raw emotional honesty and universal themes of heartbreak and longing.
