About the Song
"Leonora" is a heart-wrenching tribute to the tragic love story of Jose Rizal and his first love, Leonor Rivera. The song captures the essence of the classic tale of forbidden love, as Leonor's mother disapproves of Rizal's work as a propagandist, ultimately tearing the couple apart.

With its powerful lyrics and emotive melodies, "Leonora" paints a picture of a love that could have been, but ultimately never was, and is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners, as they relate to the universal themes of unrequited love, heartbreak, and the struggles of following one's passions.

‘Tong alay kong harana
Para sa dalagang
Walang kasing ganda
Amoy rosas ang halimuyak
Kung nanaisin ng
Tadhanang mapanlinlang
‘Di hahayaang, mawala pa

‘Tong liham na umaasang
Mata mo ang makabasa
Handang gawin lahat
Maging pamilya’y liligawan

Ngayon lang nakadama
Ng wagas na pagkamangha
Hiling ko lang naman na...

Tayo na sanang dalawa
Ang syang huli at ang umpisa
Papatunayang ang unang
Pag-ibig ay 'di mawawala.

Nakailang tula na,
Bat tila 'di napupuna?
Ang tangi kong hiling
Hanggang dulo, ikaw ang kapiling
Kung puwede lang hanggang
Pang magpakailanman
Hinding hindi na papakawalan, kailanman.

Ang dating tamis ng pagsasama, nasa'n na? (Hinahanap-hanap ka)
Ba't sa'ting dal’wa, ako na lang ang natira? (Sana’y magkita pa)
Tinig mong kay ganda, maririnig pa ba?
Handang tahaking mag-isa, kahit wala ka na

(Instrumental)

Kung nasa'n ka man, nawa ay masaya ka na
Kahit na 'di na tayo magsasama pa
Dinggin mo lang ang hiling na mag-iingat ka
Oh, Leonora kong sinta
Ahh...
