Most of them are almost crying while singing at the concert, you can hear it in their voices, Especially Ken and Justine, Stell turn around and cries at the end of the song. They are getting emotional with the beautiful lyrics of the song. Better see the official lyrics of the video again. Please we don't want you to miss out on this Beautiful, beautiful song. Do yourself a favour. ❤❤❤

2:00 Yes! You're absolutely correct. Pablo said during the Manila con that this is their letter to A'tin

[@poapieproductions]

20:51 I was wondering if this part was included in the clip. Pablo was saying: "Now, A'tin. This next song is our letter for you." 😊

Some had fan theories that Pablo wrote this for SB19, like “what if they have never met?” And that even when they are old and grey, they will never forget each other, what they went through, and those who supported them.

[@paceyofhousetargaryen3994]

it is their song for A'tin but whoever listens to this and love another person and/or His God almighty unconditionally can really relate to the meaning of the love letter that this song proclaims..they really use deep old fashioned filipino words in these filipino ballads that makes this more poetic and very "romantic" if this will be dedicated to your partner/spouse. They really represent filipino men in the historic times wherein chivalry and courtship tradition was really heartfelt, genuine and with pure intention and effirt which this generation seldom see or almost non existent at all.

[@rainafranzl9035]

This song is my most favorite in the EP, full of love and emotion.. Some A'tin or cashuals used it as their wedding song and it's perfect.. It's a wedding song for me..

[@TouchyReactions]

I bet they do

[@rexymorales1135]

ILAW is an ICONIC SONG...its my most favorite song in the PAGTATAG EP..

[@gloriaracan42]

Halooo lovely couple Ryan & Cindy, it's evening already here in the 🇵🇭! 😊🌙 Yes LIHAM ( Letter or Love letter) made by Pablo in general, I think he wrote this song as a token of his love & thanking all the people behind their success now! 💙 It's very solemn song, deep feeling's 'coz we Filipino' s loves to hear a beautiful & inspire music, Pablo never dissappoint's, all his composition's are magical, he's one of a kind artist who love's & dedicated to his craft's together with his co. member's, holy moly they're getting better & better! 😉 Good luck to both of you guy's on your way to New York Pagtatag con., Dennis & his 2 boy's are also watching in New York, you will meet again & a lot of A'tin there, hope you will more enjoy their 2nd concert & don't forget to your vlog or vlog's! Slmt ( Thank you)! 🙏

[@elytabig7743]

Hi touchy,araneta is more than 15k capacity so the production really huge,their venues in their series in u.s is small venues so they can only accomodate themselves to the tour,knowing the mahalima then showcase the stage only themselves performing there

[@IselAuDTor27]

I wish I chose the NY concert than Washington when you said that the two of you will do the dance since I am sure there will be no backup dancers. 😂 Always, thank you for this RV.

[@TouchyReactions]

Next time!

[@ItMeUire]

Ken wow. ❤❤❤ This song was beautiful during the live show.

[@etrnlygr8tful]

Cindy is correct, this is SB19's Love Letter to A'TIN. The fan made lyric video is not bad, I would say is pretty accurate too, the difference in the translation in the official lyric video is the choice of English words, it is much direct & simpler, that it allows you to grasp the meaning of each line a lot quicker. I don't see the full caption covering the entire screen anymore on the lyric video, so they must have corrected it. If it still appeared on your end try moving the video slider back or forward a touch & see if it makes a difference. Anyway, you can check the official lyric video on your time of course, no need to do a reaction & see if that makes a difference in capturing the emotion & message of the song. For me all the songs in the PAGTATAG EP is A++, it is like a smorgasbord of songs that you can listen to depending on your mood. ILAW is very emotional, LIHAM is very sentimental; both are poetic, heartfelt, beautifully written & equally delivered. Personally I have no favorite, but I find myself singing LIHAM more especially Pablo's line..."mga panaginip na inaasam, ako'y binuo ng mabuti at masamang karanasan, puno man ng mantsa'y tinuring karangyaan..."

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you so much 💓 💗

[@me-anroxas6014]

This is a very emotional song for SB19, as what Pablo mentioned in the intro, this is their Letter to A'TIN. Watched it live and they have been trying to krep their emotion on check while singing it. In Day 1 concert, Pablo and Stell cried while singing.

[@TouchyReactions]

That's awesome 👌

[@Realitb-d6l]

Okay, now I have to wait for your interpretative dance for this song, hehe❤ Thank you Touchy Reaction for your appreciation and for admiring their voices💙💙💙

[@bricra8992]

There is a glitch in some of the official lyrics videos. It displays the entire lyric download at first. If when you see it turn off the CC and turn it on again and it should clear the error and start to track properly. The official translation of both this song and Ilaw is so emotional.

[@rexymorales1135]

Thank you Cindy n Ryan for supporting our SB19 boys..Esp Pablo n Stell...

[@ymondragon1858]

The lyrics in the official lyric videos are better than those created by others. They tend to provide the literal meaning of each word instead of providing the meaning of whole sentence which would slightly alter the meaning of some words. That's why it's better to see the official lyric videos so that we can see how they want to convey their Tagalog/Filipino songs in English. They're not giving the literal meaning of the word but how it's associated with the other sentences that would give it a new meaning. I try looking at those other lyric videos but sometimes it irks me when I see some words not translated properly or had used other words (synonyms) to make it grammatically correct or even poetic. That's why I need to see the whole sentence or stanza before I start with the translation so that it'll all be connected. I'm glad that SB19 had provided subtitles because this was artfully written in Tagalog/Filipino (which is my first language) and had used some words which are usually used in literary works which are rarely used in regular conversation. Unfortunately, I'm only fluent in the conversational Tagalog/Filipino.

[@TouchyReactions]

Sorry 😞

[@ymondragon1858]

@@TouchyReactions no worries. I've been seeing some reaction videos that are having the same issue when turning on the subtitles. Makes me sad that you're not able to see the wonderful lyrics translated beautifully by the group.

[@Popkulture949]

I get that cc issue on youtube too. What I end up doing is making sure I turn off cc and then manually going to settings and turning it on. Then I refresh the page. It usually works for me. I tested it on that Liham lyric video and it worked. Hope this helps a little.

[@TouchyReactions]

We got it fixed by our "Freedom" reaction

[@elizabethfuhr5527]

The translation in this case is on point. It might be different from the original translation but the thought/message was the same. From a foreign language to English is difficult to translate verbatim because something will be lost during the process.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks Elizabeth 😊

[@Amy_Abello76]

You’re right, Cindy. It is a song dedicated to A’TIN when Pablo introduced this at the concert. That was the intro that you heard in Tagalog. The dancers may not be with them when they perform this in the US. I would suggest that you simply listen and enjoy their singing. Can’t wait for you to react to Freedom. ❤❤❤

[@TouchyReactions]

Next week

[@msl8blo0m3r4]

You already said your reason behind choosing the fan made lyric video but at the back of my head "HECK, this reaction could've been GOLD if you only used the OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO since you are a couple reactor" as this is a perfect love/wedding song or a song to your wife/husband and it will get you in the feels as you read through the accurate translations simulataneously as the song plays. It's very touching and could've easily been your fave song. Even Stell broke down while singing this song on Day 1 of the Manila tour. Another american couple reactor cried/got emotional over this song and became their fave love song. Also, where's your Superthanks button? 😁

[@TouchyReactions]

Sorry we didn't get it right. Super chat is only allowed on fully monetized videos.

[@msl8blo0m3r4]

@@TouchyReactions Don't worry about it. It's just one of those times where I just feel like it could have gone MAGICAL but the universe didn't allow it. Anyways, will just try your membership. I've tried so many times in the past but it's quite complex using mobile phone (too many details required). The reaction I was talking about was from RegenerationNationTV which was my fave LIHAM reaction. The very reason I keep requesting couple reactors to react to this song. I hope you can watch it at your own time (or if you're open to reacting to a reaction, much better). Thank you for supporting SB19 always! 🥰

[@rafiel0521]

Pablo did say it's for A'tin and I think the last part of it is dedicated to their fans that they never met and will never meet but loved and supported them fully. That's the apology for and they reassured fans like me and others they'll never meet that we are all loved and appreciated by them.

Aside from being a letter to A'Tin… This song is also said to be a conversation with God… which is quite likely with Pablo being a God-centric and Bible-referencing individual ❤🙏

Salamat po. Cyndi’s right this is their letter to a’tin. For some reasons it really sounds better in Tagalog, it’s very rich & sometimes there’s no exact translation but anyway, Ken’s emotion is real I think that’s why he’s trying to control it by doing that & Justin’s trying not to cry. Ilaw & Liham are still my favorites. I can listen to them over and over again 😅 have a good night ❤🙏🏼

[@tintin22588]

In one interview of sb19, someone ask why there is a lovesong wrote by Pablo, then stell say that the lyrics is so inlove because pablo is so inlove as well! Then when the mc ask who do you think in your group to bw married first! And all of them point to pablo. There is also a rumor that pablo has a girlfriend even in his trainee days, so it means they are together for a very long time. But pablo never confirm or denied it! And when the mc ask if they where all single...pablo was quick to answer YES! So maybe he's not ready to confess yet to the fans.

[@gigicalub]

Mere speculation but I have a feeling her name is Joy; Pablo is often using Ligaya (Tagalog for joy) in his lyrics, and there were instances his bandmates subtly teased him about Joy or Ligaya. 😊
