The Love Story by Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I close my eyes and the flashback starts I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
I'm standin' there You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
On a balcony in summer air It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how
See you make your way through the crowd to feel
And say, "Hello" This love is difficult, but it's real
Little did I know Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this
mess
That you were Romeo, you were throwin'
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
pebbles
Oh, oh
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase I got tired of waiting
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
and I said
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
Is this in my head? I don't know what to
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
So close your eyes
And said, "Marry me, Juliet
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
You'll never have to be alone

But you were everything to me It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I Oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw

The love story song is written and sang by Taylor Swift. Whom is a very popular song-
writer and a singer until now. Taylor swift written the song “Love story” when she was 17 years
old. Where, the song was composed with some poetic devices that enhance and make the whole
song meaningful. Taylor swift creates an illusion where she was comparing her love for a guy
and their story is just like Romeo and Juliet. Where she included in her song the line “Caused
you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet". The Romeo
refers to the guy she loved and she was the Juliet. Just like Romeo and Juliet their love was
forbid by their parents where.

And The Scarlet letter reference is only a simile to the disdain the Montagues and the Capulets
hold for one another. Basically she is saying because they come from two separate worlds, if the
lovers were together it would be frowned upon with such intensity it would be like wearing a
scarlet letter; that SHE would be HIS scarlet letter. She is simply writing a love story in her head.
She sees a guy that maybe she thinks is in a different league than her or "taboo" in some way yet
she falls for him. The meaning of Swift’s song is all about forbidden lovers meet for secret trysts
and plot to run away together, choosing each other over their families.

The song as a whole is very creative and its really convey or show what’s the story of the song.
From the scenes and set up of the music video really good and connected to the song. In the last
part of the song, the things end more happily than we might expect, with Romeo ran to Juliet and
they were happy together. It was like they were freed and their love has given a chance.
Pasulyap-Sulyap
Song by Tootsie Guevara

Parang may iba akong nadarama


Magmula nang makausap na kita
Araw-araw ang puso ay umaasa
Na muli ika'y aking makikita
Sa bintana'y lagi nang nag-aabang
Ng iyong sulyap habang nagdaraan
Parang di mo pansin ang mga ngiti ko
Manhid ba ang puso at damadamin mo
Pasulyap-sulyap ka't kunwari'y
Patingin-tingin sa akin
Di maintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin
Kung mayro'ng pag-ibig ay
Ipagtapat mo na sa akin
Agad naman kitang sasagutin
Ang lahat ay para bang sinasadya
Sa 'king puso ay anong laking tuwa
At muli ikaw ay aking nakausap
Para kang nangangarap nang kaharap
Pasulyap-sulyap kat kunwari'y
Patingin-tingin sa akin
Di maintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin
Kung mayro'ng pag-ibig ay
Ipagtapat mo na sa akin
Agad naman kitang sasagutin
Pasulyap-sulyap ka't kunwari'y
Patingin-tingin sa akin
Di maintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin
Kung mayro'ng pag-ibig ay
Ipagtapat mo na sa akin
Agad naman kitang sasagutin
Agad naman kitang sasagutin
The “Pasulyap-sulyap” song is the OPM song sang by Tootsie Guevara. Where the song
was released last 2013. Where the song is about the woman that have a crush on the guy whom is
passes by with their house. This song is very exciting because of the music video that is shown
and illustrated. Where a woman waits at their window for the man she likes to pass by. And
when the woman notices the young man's glance at her and she felt thrilled every time she sees
him.

“Pasulyap-sulyap kat kunwari'y


Patingin-tingin sa akin
Di maintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin
Kung mayro'ng pag-ibig ay
Ipagtapat mo na sa akin
Agad naman kitang sasagutin”

From that line, it shows that the girl noticed the man’s glance and she concluded that this guy
had a feeling for her too. Where the girl will be going to date him as long as the guy confess. It is
also said in the song or scribed the feelings of the girl for the man that she can't say it or confess.
Because in the Philippines tradition, men should make the first move in courtship. Woman
should wait for the guy to court them. And in the end, the woman hopes that the man will
confess to her and he will answer her immediately.

So far this song is very beautiful and thrilling but it is not said if she has hope for the man. it can
be hopeless romantic but according to the song she feels that he has feelings for her.
Please Be Careful with My Heart
By Regine Velasques and Jose Mari Chan

If you love me, like you tell me


Please be careful with my heart
You can take it, just don't break it
Or my world will fall apart.

You are my first romance, and I'm willing to take a chance


That till life is through, I'll still be loving you
I will be true to you, just a promise from you will do
From the very start, please be careful with my heart.

I love you and you know I do


There'll be no one else for me
Promise I'll be always true, for the world and all to see
Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I've been burned and I've been hurt before.

So I know just how you feel (how I feel), trust my love is real for you (I hope that your love is
real)
I'll be gentle with your heart, I'll caress it like the morning dew (I'll caress it like the morning
dew)
I'll be right beside you forever (right beside you forever)
I won't let our world fall apart (let our world fall apart)
From the very start, I'll be careful with your heart.

You are my first (and you are my last) romance


And I'm willing to take a chance (I've learned from the past)
That till life is through, I'll still be loving you
I will be true to you (I will be true)
Just a promise from you will do (only to you)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start
Please be careful with... (I'll be careful with...)
(Your) (my) heart...
The “Please Be Careful with My Heart “song was released last 1989. It was sung and performed
by Regine Velasques and Jose Mari Chan. They are one of the most popular or known Filipino
singer in the country. Where this song really hits different and got touched the heart of the
listener. The song is about the two couple. As we can see its feel like the song is illustrating the
age differences. The man was older than the girl based from the singer. Regine Velasques was
young that time and Josi Mari Chan is older than her. Just for me, it was connected to the age
difference because in the line: “You are my first romance, and I'm willing to take a chance That
till life is through, I'll still be loving you. I will be true to you, just a promise from you will
do.From the very start, please be careful with my heart.”

and Jose Mari chan answered her:

” I love you and you know I do

There'll be no one else for me

Promise I'll be always true, for the world and all to see

Love has heard some lies softly spoken

And I have had my heart badly broken

I've been burned and I've been hurt before.”

So from that we can see, that the man in the song was already had experience in love and She
was her first romance. The song also showed that woman gaves her heart and she want the man
will take care of it. because he was the first one that she loved, and she didn't want to be hurt and
broken. This also refers to the “playboys or cheaters” where the man should be careful with the
hearts of woman. That they should treasure their hearts and the song described how the girl’s
heart soft are and can easily break.
