Kung Narinig Mo Lang

[Verse 1 - Mother]
Tahimik ka na naman sa hapag
Hindi mo na kinukwento ang araw mo
Minsan gusto kitang yakapin
Pero pagod na rin ang puso ko 

Nakita kitang lumaking mabilis
Habang ako'y natutong magpakatatag
Every lunch packed before sunrise
Was another way of saying "I love you" kahit walang salita
 
[Pre-Chorus - Mother]
At kung minsan di mo naramdaman
Patawad anak, hindi ko sinasadya
I was drowning in the worry
Trying hard to keep this family alive 

[Chorus - Both] 
Kung narinig mo lang
Mga dasal naming tahimik
Every sleepless night
Was love we could not speak 

Anak, kung nakita mo lang
Lahat ng bigat na pasan
Every sacrifice we carried
Was love trying to hold your hand 

Even in our silence
Even when we failed somehow
We were loving you the best way we knew how 

[Verse 2 - Father]
Madalas tahimik lang ako
Hindi dahil wala akong pakialam
Kundi takot akong bumagsak
Habang kayo ang dahilan kung bakit lumalaban 

Bills sa mesa at kaba sa isip
Habang tulog kayong lahat sa gabi
I carried storms you never noticed
So your world could feel safe and warm 

[Pre-Chorus - Father]
At alam kong may mga gabing
Pakiramdam mo malayo ako
But every hour I disappeared
I was trying to build tomorrow for you 

[Chorus - Both]
Kung narinig mo lang
Mga dasal naming tahimik
Every sleepless night
Was love we could not speak 

Anak, kung nakita mo lang
Lahat ng bigat na pasan
Every sacrifice we carried
Was love trying to hold your hand 

Even in our silence
Even when we failed somehow
We were loving you the best way we knew how 

[Bridge - Mother softly]
Hindi kami perpekto...
Pero ikaw ang pinakamahalaga 

[Bridge - Father breaking emotionally]
And if I seemed cold sometimes
It was only because life was heavy
Not because I did not love you 

[Bridge - Both]
Every tear behind closed doors
Every prayer whispered low
Every battle no one saw
Was us begging God to help you grow 

[Final Chorus - Big Emotional Build]
Kung narinig mo lang
Mga pusong halos mapagod
Every broken piece of us
Still chose to give you love 

Anak, kung nakita mo lang
Lahat ng gabing kami'y lumuhod
Asking God to bless your future
Even when our own hearts hurt      

And someday when life gets heavy
Maybe then you'll understand somehow
We were loving you out loud
Even when we did not know how 

[Outro - Soft Duet]
Kung narinig mo lang...
Kung nakita mo lang...
You were always loved...
More than words could say...


Kung Narinig Mo Lang
“If Only You Heard”
English Translation

[Verse 1 – Mother]

You’ve been quiet again at the table
You no longer tell me about your day
Sometimes I want to hold you close
But my heart is tired too

I watched you grow up so fast
While I learned how to stay strong
Every lunch packed before sunrise
Was another way of saying “I love you” without words

[Pre-Chorus – Mother]
And if there were times you did not feel it
I’m sorry, my child, I never meant that
I was drowning in worry
Trying hard to keep this family alive

[Chorus – Both]
If only you heard
The quiet prayers we whispered
Every sleepless night
Was love we could not speak

My child, if only you saw
All the weight we carried
Every sacrifice we made
Was love trying to hold your hand

Even in our silence
Even when we failed somehow
We were loving you the best way we knew how

[Verse 2 – Father]
Most of the time I stayed quiet
Not because I did not care
But because I was afraid to fall apart
While you were the reason I kept fighting

Bills on the table and fear in my mind
While all of you slept at night
I carried storms you never noticed
So your world could feel safe and warm

[Pre-Chorus – Father]
And I know there were nights
When you felt I was far away
But every hour I disappeared
I was trying to build tomorrow for you

[Chorus – Both]
If only you heard
The quiet prayers we whispered
Every sleepless night
Was love we could not speak

My child, if only you saw
All the weight we carried
Every sacrifice we made
Was love trying to hold your hand

Even in our silence
Even when we failed somehow
We were loving you the best way we knew how

[Bridge – Mother softly]
We were never perfect…
But you were always the most important thing

[Bridge – Father emotionally]
And if I seemed cold sometimes
It was only because life was heavy
Not because I did not love you

[Bridge – Both]
Every tear behind closed doors
Every prayer whispered low
Every battle no one saw
Was us begging God to help you grow

[Final Chorus – Big Emotional Build]
If only you heard
The hearts that were almost exhausted
Every broken piece of us
Still chose to give you love

My child, if only you saw
All the nights we knelt in prayer
Asking God to bless your future
Even when our own hearts hurt

And someday when life gets heavy
Maybe then you’ll finally understand
We were loving you out loud
Even when we did not know how

[Outro – Soft Duet]
If only you heard…
If only you saw…
You were always loved…
More than words could say…
