Filipino band SANDIWA has released a new single set to inspire and uplift individuals, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. "Bahaghari (Halika na)" is a powerful and uplifting track that encourages individuals to embrace their true selves, including their sexual orientation, and not let societal pressures hold them back.
The song's title, "Bahaghari," is a Filipino term that translates to "rainbow." This symbolic name is fitting as the song celebrates the beauty and vibrancy of individuality, just like the colors of a rainbow. The song's lyrics encourage listeners to shed their fears and doubts and embrace their unique qualities and personalities instead.
The song's chorus is particularly impactful, with its repetitive and empowering message: Nasaan ng iyong bahaghari / Nasaan na ang makukulay mong ngiti / Nasaan na ang dating bighani / Lungkot ay 'di ka pag-aari ("Where is your rainbow? Where is your colorful smile? Where is your former beauty? Your sadness does not own you.") These lyrics serve as a reminder that true happiness and fulfillment come from within and that individuals should not let external factors dictate their self-worth.
SANDIWA shared their thoughts on the meaning behind the song: "Bahaghari (Halika na) is a song about self-acceptance and self-love, particularly for members of the LGBTQ+ community. It's about realizing you don't have to conform to society's standards to be happy or successful. You have to be true to yourself."
The song's release comes when acceptance and equality for the LGBTQ+ community become increasingly important topics in society. In many parts of the world, including the Philippines, individuals who identify as part of the community still face prejudice and discrimination. It's refreshing to hear a message encouraging individuals to embrace their unique qualities and celebrate their individuality, regardless of their sexual orientation.
"Bahaghari (Halika na)" is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. Fans can also download the song on iTunes and Amazon Music.
LYRICS:
Bahaghari (Halika na)
Verse 1
Halika na, hindi mo kailangang mag-isa
Luhang sumisilip ay papawiin at di na madarama
Kaya tara na lisanin ang apat na sulok ng kwarto
Dilim ng nakaraan at pangamba
Chorus
Nasaan ng iyong bahaghari?
Nasaan na ang makukulay mong ngiti?
Nasaan na ang dating bighani?
Lungkot ay 'di ka pag-aari
Ligaya sa puso'y biglaang babalik
Lunas ay parang umagang darating
Verse 2
Halika na bigat ng dalahin ay gagaang
Wag mong sisihin ang sarili hindi ikaw ang maylalang
Kaya tara na, at hindi na muling madarapa
Aalalayan ka at laging hahagkan
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Hindi mo kailangang mag-isa
Luhang sumisilip ay papawiin at 'di na madarama
Repeat Chorus
Coda
Halika na
