[00:02.514]Oh, come on
[00:04.626]Did you really think I was gonna do the entire show in Filipino?
[00:13.681]My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
[00:20.810]My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
[00:28.249]No month of may, no twinkling stars
[00:35.512]No hide away, no soft guitars
[00:44.545]My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
[00:51.280]Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
[00:58.267]Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
[01:05.049]My romance doesn't need a thing but you
[01:17.248]Let's fall in love
[01:19.408]Why shouldn't we fall in love?
[01:22.872]Our hearts are made of it
[01:24.592]Let's take a chance
[01:26.496]Why be afraid of it
[01:31.009]Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
[01:36.560]Little we know of it, still we can try
[01:39.912]To make a go of it
[01:43.632]We might have been meant for each other
[01:49.609]To be or not to be
[01:53.048]Let our hearts discover
[01:57.552]Let's fall in love
[01:59.639]Why shouldn't we fall in love
[02:02.928]Now is the time for it, now is the time for it
[02:13.384]Let's fall in love
[02:16.761]To be or not to be
[02:20.416]Let our hearts discover
[02:24.734]Romance
[02:26.823]Why shouldn't we romance?
[02:38.693]Romance
[02:40.565]Let's make our own romance
[02:43.813]Little we know of it, still we can try
[02:47.260]To make a go of it
[02:55.645]We might have been meant for each other
[03:00.245]Let our hearts discover
[03:03.449]Let's fall in love
[03:05.848]Why shouldn't we fall in love
[03:09.252]Now is the time, while we are young
[03:12.677]We can make our dreams come true
[03:16.829]My romance
[03:20.132]My romance
[03:23.502]My romance
[03:27.996]Doesn't need a thing but you
[03:39.829]Just you
[03:58.829]I am from the Philippines
[04:00.430]That is where I was born and raised
[04:02.438]And that is where I now live with my own family
[04:05.750]And that first song, Salamat Salamat Musika, is actually a thank you
[04:10.861]To the music
[04:12.773]And it's not just that I'm being polite, but
[04:15.807]In my home country, music is an essential part of our daily lives
[04:22.533]I've been singing for as long as I can remember
[04:25.489]And if anybody was to ask me when exactly I started singing
[04:29.969]I don't think I could pinpoint an exact time or place or event
[04:36.702]I do come from an artistic family
[04:38.918]Sculptors, actors, even prima ballerinas
[04:44.079]And my mother encouraged my brother and me to continue in the tradition
[04:50.982]I think I was about nine years old when my mom had the bright idea
[04:55.111]That I should record an album
[04:58.372]But the question is, what songs?
[05:03.014]Usually in the Philippines you'll see these
[05:05.762]Pretty little girls in their pretty little dresses
[05:09.062]Singing "The minute you walked in the joint"
[05:14.290]Or they would be singing love songs
[05:17.794]And my mom would say
[05:19.610]"She has no right to sing love songs"
[05:23.377]"She's only nine, what does she know"
[05:26.282]So we went with this
