The Heartache of Unfulfilled Love in 'Bakit Pa'
Jessa Zaragoza's song 'Bakit Pa' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unfulfilled love and the pain of abandonment. The lyrics poignantly express the singer's struggle to cope with the absence of a loved one, questioning the purpose of love if it only leads to loneliness. The opening lines, 'Parang 'di ko yata kaya 'pag sa buhay ko'y wala ka,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the singer's dependence on their partner for emotional fulfillment and the void left in their absence.
The chorus, 'Bakit ka pa nakita, bakit pa nakilala,' reflects a sense of regret and confusion. The singer questions why they had to meet and fall in love with someone who would eventually leave them heartbroken. This sentiment is further emphasized with the lines, 'Kung ang puso ko ay iiwan mo lang at sasaktan,' which translates to 'If you will only leave and hurt my heart.' The repetition of these lines throughout the song underscores the depth of the singer's pain and the recurring nature of their heartache.
Despite the sorrow, there is a sense of resilience in the lyrics. The lines, 'Kung siya'y higit sa akin, Naro'n man ang pagdaramdam, ito ay aking kakayanin,' suggest that even though the loved one may have found someone better, the singer will endure the pain. This resilience is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of emotional adversity. Jessa Zaragoza's heartfelt delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Bakit Pa' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for emotional healing.
