Chito Miranda x Rico Blanco Panahon Na Naman ng Harana lyrics

May may naririnig akong bagong awitin At may may naririnig akong bagong sigaw, eh ikaw? Hindi mo ba namamalayan? Wala Ka bang nararamdaman? Ika ng hangin na humahalik sa atin Panahon na naman ng pag-ibig Panahon na naman ahhh Panahon na naman ng pag-ibig Gumising ka tara na Masdan maigi ang mga mata ng bawat tao Nakasilip ang isang bagong saya At pag-ibig na dakila matagal nang nawala Kamusta Ka? Nariyan ka lang pala Hindi mo ba namamalayan? Wala Ka bang nararamdaman? Ika ng hangin na humahalik sa atin Panahon na naman ng pag-ibig Panahon na naman ahhh Panahon na naman ng pag-ibig Gumising ka tara na

Uso pa ba ang harana? Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka Sino ba 'to, mukhang gago Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta At nagsisintunado sa kaba Meron pang dalang mga rosas Suot nama'y maong na kupas At nariyan pa ang barkada Nakaporma nakabarong Sa awiting daig pa ang minus one at sing along Puno ang langit ng bituin At kay lamig pa ng hangin Sa 'yong tingin ako'y nababaliw, giliw At sa awitin kong ito, sana'y maibigan mo Ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko Sa isang munting harana Tara na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Tara na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Sa isang munting harana na na na na na Sa isang munting harana na na na na na
