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...

[erdzroble]

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes this comment will remind me about this song💛

[doremill]

makikita mo yung iba’t-ibang stages when it comes to love

0:16 admiring her
1:12 they are finally together
1:57 longing/missing her (whahahhaa miss ko na rin siya)
and finally, 2:55 letting her go

nakakatakot magmahal waaaa

[Ivan-nkrq]

"Kung nasan kaman nawa ay masaya kana" hits different kase kung mahal mo talaga hahayaan mo sya kahit di na ikaw yung dahilan kung bakit sya masaya

[kristeljoy]

Sa tuwing naririnig koto grabe goosebumps at naiisip ko sila Juanito at Grabe tugma talaga lalo na yung paggawa ni Juanito ng tula ky Carmela nung nagtapat siya ng kaniyang wagas na pagibig tas hindi napupuna at wlang feedback c Carmela dahil hindi pa niya nababasa dahil si Helena ang nakabasa tapos yung line na "bakit ako nalang ang natira?" Grabe bagay na bagay ky Juanito ang line nato nung naiwan siyang magisa dahil tapos na ang misyon ni Carmela sa taong 1892. Tapos ung line na "handa akong tahakin mag-isa kahit wala kana" ang sakit grabee😭😭

[AngeliqueNicole-mz]

when i'm listening to this, naiisip ko yung wattpad story na I love you since 1892, for me kasi bagay na bagay sya😭😭😭

Leonora and Jose Rizal's love story is a testament to the enduring power of love amidst adversity. Their bond, forged in the fires of passion and intellect, transcended barriers of time and society. Like a beacon of hope, their love illuminated the path towards justice, equality, and freedom.

[lirikomusicplay]

This song taught me that you can love someone even from far away. Learning to love someone kahit hindi na siya yung kasama mo. Wishing the best for her to be happy and that hits me hard.

[jayst_do_it]

As someone who loves music and history so much, this song is 🤩

[shulamitahannadelacruz]

My tita named Leonora passed away last 2021 and this song always remind me of her. I miss her so much, thank you for this.

[xfqvtvd]

My boyfriend used to play and sing this song. At first, I didn't play this song because I wasn't a big fan. But now, after reading the lyrics, I know what the message is. I started listening to this song every day, and it reminds me of a good memory after he passed away a few weeks ago.

[sillynini.]

This, Susi-Ben&Ben & Ikaw Pa Rin Ang Pipiliin Ko-Cup of Joe are my go to songs to study Philippine history. Solid trinity

[judyannpedros]

if you are reading the book of Binibining Mia: our asymptotic love story, this song best describe the novel because the stories goes where the MC are longing for the love they deserve to have but the time they have was not the right time. They waited until they accepted the fact that the love they have for each other is real but even the destiny opposed them to be together. both MC waited for a long time to make things right but still... the novel broke my heart and i cant accept the fact that even they waited for how many years, centuries still they cant be together... huhu where's the justice of this novel huhuhu

[Smns_oee]

I'll just leave it here because our junior high school journey will come to its end. During our 9th grade we used this song to make a trailer for Noli Me Tangere. This song holds a lot of memories for me and my classmates. My heart will always hold a special place for this song 💗🥰. Thank you for making this masterpiece, Sugarcane.

[hazeldaarol]
