HIVE OPEN MIC 128 / Imahe Cover

This week's theme is magnificent, @yosoyla72, Thank you!

" Desamor" translates to heartbreak in English, and heartbreak is a very deep, strong emotional experience that I think most of us have had. It can be caused by a variety of reasons and the most common is the ending of a love affair or strong connection.

In light of this, I chose Magnus Haven's song 'Imahe,' which translates to "Image" in English. It is a Filipino song, an OPM ( Original Pilipino Music ), and a hit in the Philippines which helped Magnus Haven become popular in 2018. This song is relatable and heart-wrenching and it serves as an anthem for those who have had their hearts broken by relationships that were never intended to last.

Lyrics

Kinukulayan ang isipan
Pabalik sa nakaraan
'Wag mo ng balikan
Patuloy ka lang masasaktan
Hindi nagkulang kakaisip
Sa isang magandang larawan
Paulit-ulit na binabanggit
Ang pangalang nakasanayan
Tayo ay pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Sadyang mapaglaro itong mundo
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Para sa sariling kapakanan
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Mga oras na hindi na mababalikan
Pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Puso natin ay hindi
Sa isa't-isa
Hindi na maibabalik ang dati nating pagsasama
Ang tamis ng iyong halik ay di na madarama
Pangako sa isa't-isa ay 'di na mabubuhay pa
Paaalam sa 'ting pagibig na minsa'y pinag-isa
Tayo ay pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Sadyang mapaglaro itong mundo
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Para sa sariling kapakanan
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Mga oras na hindi na mababalikan
Pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Puso natin ay hindi
Sa isa't-isa
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Para sa sariling kapakanan
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan
Pagibig na ating sinayang
Pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Hanggang dito na lang tayo
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan (oh)
Para sa sariling kapakanan (oh)
Kinalimutan kahit nahihirapan (oh)
Mga oras na hindi na mababalikan
Pinagtagpo
Ngunit hindi tinadhana
Puso natin ay hindi
Sa isa't-isa

English Lyrics Translation Source: here

Giving colors to one's thoughts back to one's past
Don't ever go back you'll just continue to get hurt
Did not fail on thinking too much on a beautiful picture
Over and over you speak of it the name you got used to

We were destined to meet but not meant to be
This world is really mischievous

Decided to forget you even though it's difficult
For our own sake
Decided to forget you even though it's hard
Our time that will never be restored

Destined to meet but not meant to be
Our hearts are not for each other

We can never bring back the way we used to be
Your sweet lips cannot be felt again
Our promise to each other will never be resurrected
Goodbye to our love that was once unified

We were destined to meet but not meant to be
This world is really mischievous

Decided to forget you even though it's hard
For our own sake
Decided to forget you even though it's hard
Our time that will never be restored

Destined to meet but not meant to be
Our hearts are not for each other

Decided to forget you even though it's hard
For our own sake
Decided to forget you even though it's hard
Love that we have wasted

Destined to meet but not meant to be
This is as far as we can go

(Decided to forget you even though it's hard)
(For our own sake)
(Decided to forget you even though it's hard)
(Our time that will never be restored)

Destined to meet but not meant to be
Our hearts are not for each other

Heartbreaks are sometimes inevitable; if you are experiencing one right now, please remember that nothing in life is permanent. Trust yourself and the process; the pain and anguish will not last forever.

Thank You, fellow music lovers and @hiveopenmic!
