On June 12, the singer-songwriter published a one-minute and six-second video of herself singing the song with previously unseen lyrics. On Independence Day, singer Moira Dela Torre greeted the audience by performing a 10-minute rendition of her song “Malaya.”
On that date, the country celebrated its 124th anniversary of freedom from centuries of Spanish colonial control. The occasion celebrates the first display of the Philippine flag and the singing of the national song. Meanwhile, the singer’s Facebook and Twitter posts have gone viral.
Her Facebook video had 1.2 million views, while her Twitter clip received 36,000 likes. Moira stated in her recently published clip that the “Malaya” she sang was a “10-minute version,” a word that Tay Swift fans are acquainted with, since the American singer posted an extended version of her 2012 hit song “All Too Well” after she re-recorded her album “Red.”
Moira sings the following:
Baka sakaling makita ko pang muli
Ang pagsikat ng araw
At ang paglipas ng gabi
Kung ‘di pipilitin
Ang di pala para sa akin
Baka sakaling mahanap ang sarili
Malaya ka na
Malaya ka
In 2017, the singer released “Malaya,” which served as one of the tracks again for comedy-drama film “Camp Sawi.”
The 2017 version’s lyrics are as follows:
Baka sakaling makita kitang muli
Pagsikat ng araw, paglipas ng gabi
Kung ‘di pipilitin ang ‘di pa para sa’kin
Baka sakaling maibalik
Malaya ka na
Malaya
