Tayong Dalawa
Kapwa lumuluha kapwa nasasaktan.
Bakit tinitikis parin ang isa't isa,
lagi na lamang bang ganito ang buhay natin.
Hindi na matitiis paghihirap ng dibdib,
sana'y nadarama mo rin ang paghihirap ko,
at sanay pakinggan ang pakiusap ko sayo.
Hindi ko na hinahangad ang yaman sa mundo,
pagmamahal mo lang ang tanging hinahanap ko,
maaari bang sanay patawarin mo ako,
sapagkat tayong dalawa ay sa isa't isa.
Gary Valenciano has been tapped to sing the title theme of the upcoming teleserye Tayong Dalawa, which stars Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, and Jake Cuenca. ABS-CBN.com spoke with Mr. Pure Energy last December 19 during the music video shoot for the theme song at the La Mesa Dam Ecopark. He talked about how the song, composed and originally sung by OPM icon Rey Valera, will play an important role in the teleserye. “I’m sure itong song na ‘Tayong Dalawa’ naging theme song din ng ilang tao diyan who will get to see the teleserye Tayong Dalawa. A theme song is not just supposed to sound good but it’s supposed to play a major role in complementing the effectiveness of the teleserye. In any movie may mga eksenang hindi kailangan ng theme, meron naman na kailangan. In Tayong Dalawa the song is exactly what the story is trying to say. When you put that together, when one equals the other, you come up with a great equation. I think that equation means success.”
This is Gary’s second time to sing the theme for a teleserye starring Kim, Gerald, and Jake, the first one being Sana Maulit Muli in 2007. The singer-composer further shared how excited he is to be a part of Tayong Dalawa which for him has all the elements of a top-rate series. “I’m aware of the storyline and I’m excited about how that’s going to turn out. Imagine in Sana Maulit Muli, Kim, Gerald, and Jake were still new actors yet they were very effective. What more now? They’re going to take on more mature roles so it’s very interesting to see. Sa trailer pa lang I’m excited na to see the teleserye. I believe in the project, in the actors, in the song. Those are the reasons I’m also looking forward to be singing ‘Tayong Dalawa’ soon sa mga shows at sa malls.”
In his 25 years in the music industry, Gary has been the favorite of many producers to perform a song for a movie or a teleserye. In fact, Tayong Dalawa marks Gary’s 18th time to record a theme song. ABS-CBN.com asked Gary on why he thinks he is the most requested singer when it comes to soundtracks. “I think that when I record kasi I don’t record just to sound good. It’s really about expressing myself and when you come across a song by Rey Valera like ‘Tayong Dalawa’ you can’t help but to express yourself in the way that the song was arranged. Also to do a song of Rey Valera is malaking karangalan para sa akin because songs by Rey will never ever die. I think even the kids of my kids will still get to hear his music and say, ‘Wow.’ I’ll be proud to say that I have been honored to be given the chance to sing one of his songs.”
