Doesn’t Matter (Hindi Na Bale English)

And here’s another remake y’all!

But first and foremost, allow me to express my thanks to all who lent their ears and listened to my previous work “Lanog-Lanog (Super Bass Bisaya)”. I was really thrilled to see the number of views rise so fast just days after I released it. You gotta know it means a lot to me. Woot!

Now, back to the main game…

You see, for around 5 years now, I’ve been remaking songs by translating them from English to Cebuano (or Bisaya—my mother tongue). But the one that I’ll be presenting to you now is a bit different ‘cause I did the other way: that is lyrical translation from a local language to English. It’s not a Cebuano song though but Tagalog. The song, by the way, is called “Hindi Na Bale”, which was first popularized by Jessa Zaragoza, then lately by Bugoy Drilon.

Bugoy's self-titled album

I decided to use the latter’s version as its pitch is attainable, plus it showcases cool melisma (which I def like!).

That’s all!

And just like what I’ve been trying to say everytime I release music: don’t mind my flawed vocals, mind the lyrics and be appreciative.

“Hindi Na Bale” = “Doesn’t Matter” … Check it out!

DOESN’T MATTER lyrics

Why can't I just simply believe
That you'll never be mine, you're never meant for me
Of all the things that this world holds
Nothing ever compares to the love you showed

If this ain't a dream, if this ain't a fantasy
If this feeling that I'm feeling now is real
How long will this pain go on
This heartache lingers on 'cause you've left me all alone

It doesn't matter if you'll be gone
What matters is I love you more than my life and with all my soul
It doesn't matter if I'll be gone
Away from this world, you know my heart won't ever let you go
You'll be there 'til the end
You will never fade away

Ooohhh

Oh what sweetness it tastes when you kiss me
Day after day, you’re just the one I can’t resist
How I wish that for a bit you’ll be here next to me
Wrapped within my arms with my embrace

It doesn't matter if you'll be gone
What matters is I love you more than my life and with all my soul
It doesn't matter if I'll be gone
Away from this world, you know my heart won't ever let you go
You'll be there 'til the end
You will never fade away

Ooohhh

It doesn't matter if you'll be gone
What matters is I love you more than my heart and with all my soul
It doesn't matter if I'll be gone
Away from this world, you know my heart won't ever let you go
You'll be there 'til the end
You will never fade away

Ooohhh
