Umaaraw, Umuulan — December Avenue

December Avenue, one of the biggest bands on the Pinoy pop scene today remakes a veritable alt-pop classic in Rico Blanco’s “Umaaraw, Umuulan.” The song gets a vigorous re-working as a modern day band pays homage to one of the biggest bands in the history of Pinoy pop. But more than the band, it’s songwriter Rico Blanco that December Avenue gives a nod to in this worthy tribute.

 

“Umaaraw, Umuulan” is just one of the songs included in one of the most exciting music releases of the year in the “Rico Blanco Songbook” — a salute to the iconic songwriting style of the former Rivermaya leader-turned solo artist. December Avenue along with a host of exciting artists are set to cover some of the biggest tunes in the “Rico Blanco Songbook” released by Viva Records and one of the flagship expansion projects of Viva Music Publishing, Inc.

Umaaraw, Umuulan
December Avenue

 

Hindi mo maintindihan
Kung ba’t ikaw ang napapagtripan
Ng halik ng kamalasan
Ginapang mong marahan ang hagdanan
Para lamang makidlatan
Sa kaitaas-taasan, ngunit

Kaibigan
Huwag kang magpapasindak
Kaibigan
Easy lang sa iyak

Dahil wala ring mangyayari
Tayo’y walang mapapala
‘Wag mong pigilan ang pagbuhos ng ulan

May panahon para maging hari
May panahon para madapa
Dahil ang buhay natin ay sadyang ganyan

Umaaraw, umuulan
Umaaraw, umuulan
Ang buhay ay sadyang ganyan

‘Wag kang maawa sa iyong sarili
Isipin na wala ka nang silbi
‘Sang dambuhalang kalokohan

Bukas sisikat ding muli ang araw
Ngunit para lang sa may tiyagang
Maghintay

Kaya’t kaibigan
‘Wag kang magpapatalo
Kaibigan
Itaas ang noo

Dahil wala ring mangyayari
Tayo’y walang mapapala
‘Wag mong pigilan ang pagbuhos ng ulan

May panahon para maging hari
May panahon para madapa
Dahil ang buhay natin ay sadyang ganyan

Umaaraw, umuulan
Umaaraw, umuulan
Ang buhay ay sadyang ganyan
Umaaraw ohh

Umuulan…

 

Umuulan…

Umaaraw, umuulan…
