Ben&Ben writes new song 'Nakikinig Ka Ba Sa Akin' amid quarantine

Ben&Ben has written a new song amid the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.

In a video posted on Facebook, the OPM band shared the draft of the song titled "Nakikinig Ka Ba Sa Akin."

"Naglalagay pa lang kami ng instruments ng band this week, can't wait," they wrote on in the caption.

Although they did not mention the meaning behind the song, it seems that the lyrics was inspired by current events as the country battles the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Read the lyrics below:

Sasalubungin kita sa dulo ng 'yong galit
Uunawain kita para di tayo maging

Epidemyang di matapos tapos sugpuin
O problemang di makita sa'n ang salarin
tayo ba ay naging makasarili?
sarado ba'ng tenga sa mga hiling?

nakikinig ka ba sa akin?
hindi kita gustong awayin
pareho ang ating hangarin
ang kadiliman ay basagin

Kung meron kang pupurihin, sige lang, gawin mo yan
Kung meron kang babatikusin, sige lang, gawin mo yan
Magagawan din ang lahat ng paraan

nakikinig ka ba sa akin?
hindi kita gustong awayin
pareho ang ating hangarin
ang kadiliman ay basagin

Sasalubungin kita sa dulo ng 'yong galit

The band recently soared from 48 to 29 on the Global Billboard Social 50 Chart.

Ben&Ben recently hosted a Facebook Live Jam to launch their community-initiative website and to raise funds for relief to those who are affected by COVID-19.

President Rodrigo Duterte placed enhanced community quarantine on March 17 to help contain the spread of the virus.

On Tuesday, he extended the quarantine period until April 30. --Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/MGP, GMA News
