In a one of a kind collaboration, Sarah Geronimo, Somedaydream and Gary Valenciano got together to record Coca-Cola Philippines’ hit anthem ‘Tuloy’. With lyrics that inspire positive energy in every Filipino, the song was revealed at the recently concluded Concert ng Bayan, where the three staged a live performance of the song. In case you missed it, great news: you can still catch the music video on television and on YouTube!
As of writing ‘Tuloy’ has already hit the number one spot on the Myx Daily Top 10, overtaking ‘Safe and Sound’ by Taylor Swift and ‘Moving Closer’ by Never The Strangers. On YouTube the video already has over 20 thousand hits.
Don’t miss out! Watch the ‘Tuloy’ music video below.
“We made it! Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the Filipinos, most especially the music-loving teens who keep voting and voting since the song debuted. It’s a happy day,” said Coca-Cola President for Happiness Caloy, who happily thanked everyone for their support. Much of the video’s success had to do with the voting, and grabbing the number one spot is no simple feat. If anything, the success of the song shows how well supported it was.
An inspirational journey
Among the many Coca-Cola anthems throughout the years, ‘Tuloy’ represents the beverage company’s 100 year presence, and does so quite well. It speaks of a generation’s journey through life – of hardships endured and of unending happiness. Through it all stands a partner, a friend, a family member to share the love and happiness with.
Sing along to the tune of ‘Tuloy’ by following the lyrics below!
Tuloy
Performed by Sarah Geronimo, Somedaydream and Gary ValencianoVerse 1 (Sarah):
Kahit na anong mangyari
Ang lungkot ay mapapawi
Buksan na ang saya
Malilimutan ang problemaVerse 2 (Gary):
Di ka na mag-iisa
Sasamahan ka san magpunta
Sasabay sa pag-ikot
Mundo’y makulay
Hayaan mong mabigyan ng saya ang iyong buhayBridge:
Sa harap at likod
Kaliwa at kanan ko
Hintayin mo lang
Di magtatagal
Mararanasan moChorus:
Tuloy lang ang saya
Tuloy lang ang ligaya
Tuloy lang talaga
Kaibigan at pamilyaIwanan na ang lungkot
Iwanan na ang inis
Basta’t habang naririto ako
Tuloy ang happinessTuloy-tuloy
Tuloy and happinessVerse 3 (Somedaydream):
Saan ka man naroroon
Sa gitna ng noon
At ng ngayon
Sumisigaw, umaapaw, nangingibabawRepeat bridge
Repeat chorus 2xOutro:
Tuloy-tuloy wooh (3x)
Tuloy-tuloy (3x)Tuloy-tuloy wooh (tuloy ang happiness) (3x)
Tuloy-tuloy (3x)Tuloy-tuloy wooh (tuloy ang happiness) (3x)
Tuloy-tuloy (3x)
Happiness: uniquely Filipino
If there was one trait that is truly Filipino, it is our ability to find happiness amidst hardships and difficulties. Often the phrase “mababaw ang kaligayan” gets thrown around, reminding us of this unique trait. There is no English equivalent for the phrase, but a direct translation would roughly be “shallow happiness”. It allows us to stay grounded and find joy in the most mundane things.
The song encourages Filipinos to remain positive, to stop dwelling on the negative and to spread good vibes. So, what are you waiting for? Start spreading the happiness today! 🙂
As the song’s lyrics goes, “Tuloy lang ang saya! Tuloy lang ang ligaya! Basta’t habang naririto ako, tuloy ang happiness!”
