Binhi

Binhi has been my favorite OPM song ever since because of ‘Binhi’ is a different thing. Similarly, it’s a love song, yes. But this one tingles the senses in every good way! Arthur’s vocals are great, as usual, but hearing him sing something that is purely Tagalog somehow sounds more romantic and sultry. Hands down, listening to this song can get you smiling through a bad day.

The song might have that very romantic vibe to it, but don’t be fooled. If you look into the lyrics, you’d see that this song actually means something else. From what I understand, the singer is actually telling the girl that they’d still break up even if they force to get back to how they were, so there’s no sense in crying about it all. That all she has to do is stop crying and stay with him for even for a while. It’s romantic, yes, but it’s so much more heartbreaking, to say the least.

At kahit na, ipilit ko mang ibalik pa ang dati

Tayo’y mawawala parin

Kaya tahan na,

Sumandal ka

Hayaan mo na aking pag laruan

Apoy ng iyong labi o paraluman
