Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko

This is a Tagalog song by Rey Valera, an Original Pilipino Music (OPM). It’s a very sweet song about growing old together and reminiscing the memories of yesterday. And it is my entry to Elke’s Monochrome ChallengeGetting On in Years.

Pagdating ng araw
Ang ‘yong buhok ay puputi na rin
Sabay tayong mangangarap
Ng nakaraan natin

Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin hmm
Ipapaalala ko sa ‘yo
Ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko’y laging sa ‘yo
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko

Translation:

When the day comes,
Your hair will turn white too.
We’ll dream together
About our past.
We’ll bring back the memories of yesterday. I’ll remind you
Of my promise—
That my love will always be for you,
Even when my hair has turned white.

Unlike other people, Jack and I love taking selfies, but we don’t often post it in social media. So here we are through the years… with our hair turned white.

      Thanks Sarah. This is a song I grew up with. Time crept up fast and now I am at that stage in life.
