Mr. Swabe – by parokya ni edgar
Nasa ulap ba ang iyong mga mata?
Mukhang malayo ang iyong pagtingin
Pakay ko lamang na ikay pangitiin
Ito’y aking lambing
Subok na ang aking pag ibig
Ikaw lamang sa buong daigdig
Tumitibok na puso ko’y dinggin
Sumama kana sakin
Chorus:
Ako si Mr. Swabe, ohhh – ohhh grabe
Habulin ng babae, araw man o gabe…
Oo Ako si Mr. Swabe, ohhh – ohhh grabe
Hayup kung dumiskarte
Wala silang masabe
Kayat wang kanang mag - hoy…
Wag mo nang ibaon sa limot
Pagkat nandito lamang ako umiibig sayo
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
At kung kailangan na ika’y paligayahin
H’wag mag alinlangan na ikay lumapit sa akin
Hatid sa atin ng Swabe kong bigote
Ang Smooth na smooth na kiliti………….
Pagkat Ako si Mr. Swabe, ohhh – ohhh grabe
Habulin ng babae, araw man o gabe…
Oo Ako si Mr. Swabe, ohhh – ohhh grabe
Hayup kung dumiskarte
Grabe na sa Swabe
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy (4x)
Till fade…
My overview of the song is that this song is about the saving powers of Jesus
Christ.
I would like to call your attention to the first stanza. Here, we have "Mr Suave" talking to us. We to have some problems, as suggested by the acts of daydreaming or wishful thinking. Mr Suave then goes on to say that he would like to make us smile and to take away our pains.
The second stanza then goes to affirm Mr Suave' s unconditional love. Who else has THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL, you follow?
The chorus, of course, affirms the power and strength of Mr Suave.
The song finshes with affirmation from "Mr Suave" to lay down all our problems and burdens upon him. He even encourages us to "huwag mag-alinlangan at lumapit sa akin" which in english translates to "don't hesitate to approach me", remeniscent of "ask and it shall be given".
Thus, I conclude, that Mr Suave is actually
an uplifting song about salvation. It promises hope and happiness in the Right
Path.
