Salonga, Lea - I Still Believe Lyrics






[Charlie:]
Bakit ba 'pag kausap ka
I know that our love is forever

[Lea:]
Lalo na 'pag kasama ka
I know that we're made for each other

[Both:]
'cause I still believe in love at first sight
I don't think it's right to leave me
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time

[Lea:]
Maybe you and me will play it right

[Charlie:]
Nais ko na malaman mo
I'm willing to wait for a while

[Lea:]
Wait and see, what our love can be
We're ready to face life together

[Both:]
'cause I still believe in love at first sight
I don't think it's right to leave me
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time
Maybe you and me will play it right

[Both:]
'cause I still believe in love at first sight

[Charlie:]
I don't think it's right to leave me

[Both:]
Just for a lonely night
And since our love will stand the test of time

[Charlie:]
Maybe you and me will play it right

[Lea:]
Bakit ba 'pag kasama ka

[Both:]
'pag kasama ka.

Salonga, Lea I Still Believe Comments
  1. A.... G....

    Haven't watched the full musical yet but after watching some parts of it, I understand the story and this scene broke my heart. 💔 How can this be so beautiful and heartbreaking?

  2. L.... &....

    Camilla Parker Bowles X Lady Diana Spencer

  3. �.... ....

    Awesome. Just awesome. Im speechless now. Amazing

  4. B.... H....

    Claire Moore is so friggin under-rated. Personally I think this is one of the best duets EVER

  5. r.... k....

    Absolutely the best ! Kim has no equal in this role, and Claire is fabulous !

  6. a.... d....

    Wow who is this Ellen? She is absolutely perfect

    a.... d....

    Claire Moore

  7. J.... M....

    😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

  8. h.... b....

    the talent jumped out.

  9. 2.... ....

    WHY DOES HIS WHITE WIFE LOOK LIKE HIS MOTHER?

  10. M.... T....

    It's quite queer how my schoolmates have singer idols like Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes and I'm here praying to be like Lea Salonga and Ramin Karimloo and dozens of other amazing performers of Broadway...

    M.... T....

    Broadway singers have more control in their voices. They can adjust their voices for pop songs. Lea's voice is amazing, her clarity is ever better from the days of Miss Saigon. Just like wine, it only get's better with age. Good luck on your singing.

    M.... T....

    @Janet Kendall Thanks so much :) And I couldn't have said it better.

  11. E.... ....

    I’m obsessed with this song! All versions.

  12. B.... B....

    This is a duet. And it's wonderful.

  13. S.... W....

    Lea Salonga, Claire Moore, Jonathan Pryce. 'Nuff said.

  14. M.... ....

    Chills running through my body!

  15. T.... M....

    Miss Saigon is coming to Denver (Not Lea, unfortunately)

  16. e.... g....

    My fave song from miss saigon

  17. M.... j....

    84 tasteless human being who dislike this !!!I love you lea and Simon

  18. D.... A....

    Chris should have kept both women as sister wives

  19. P.... A....

    Miss Saigon songs make me cry

  20. J.... v....

    Her placement when she sings "As I can keep believing I live" is so unbelievably amazing that I cry every time.

  21. T.... B....

    i find miss saigon's songs hit and miss... but the performances are incredible

  22. r.... ....

    sis, if you hear your man saying someone else's name in their sleep, wouldn't you think they'd be cheating?

  23. R.... M....

    lea is kim,kim is lea.

  24. K.... L....

    Oh gosh Claire Moore is amazing in this!!!

    K.... L....

    I have loved me some Lea Salonga for 30 years..but I have always said when it came to this song it's all about Claire Moore, the best and only Ellen

  25. C.... ....

    Decades have passed and I still thank my parents for “making” me go & watch Lea Salonga perform in Miss Saigon. My very first professional musical I saw & still my all time favorite.

    Amazing singers have gone and taken over the role of Kim but, to me, Lea is still unmatched. Luckily, my parents also got me to appreciate another iconic, legendary Filipino singer...... Regina Velasquez. I didn’t know then but know now. Lea & Regina..... living titans of music power.

  26. S.... D....

    "A word that sounded like a name."
    It's either Kim or him. Either way, Chris has some secrets in Vietnam.

    S.... D....

    "A word that sounded like her name." Reffering to kim

    S.... D....

    @Lucky Yañez *zoom*

    S.... D....

    @Lucky Yañez It's definitely"a" name. Ellen doesn't even know Kim exists in this song....and it was a joke.

    S.... D....

    +Street Deacon yep that make more sense

  27. J.... V....

    No one in this world would ever match close to lea's performance. Not even one!!

  28. J.... V....

    Lea salonga the best kim ever. No doubt

  29. j.... H....

    Miss Saigon was made for Lea, or is that Simon or both of them? 🤔😍😍 2 🌠🌠🌠

    j.... H....

    How I truly wish they end up  as real couple, time will tell...OMG!

  30. A.... G....

    The manila version is better... It gets better....with time..

  31. A.... E....

    Saw this in the nineties and I was blown away by the passion and sorrow of this wonderful beautiful story

  32. k.... h....

    Stunning

  33. L.... B....

    I love lea salonga but damn claire's part really got me in the feels

  34. i.... ....

    I wish we can turn back time :)

  35. �.... ....

    クリスの寝相w

  36. C.... E....

    awesome

  37. J.... P....

    I think I can't listen to another Kim except Lea ",

  38. C.... M....

    If racial features had no standing in theatre Lea Salonga's voice would have sung every major soprano role in musical theatre that you can name and Lea could have done it better than most everyone else. From Eliza Doolittle to Gypsy to you name the role, with her vocal range, skills and expressive qualities, it would have been magic. We've really got to get beyond our current limited ideas about "proper" casting; we are missing out on so much beauty.

  39. J.... A....

    Nakaupo pa yan.....

  40. T.... ....

    Love her since I was young before she was Kim

  41. E.... T....

    The incomparable lea salonga in her magnificent performance. Hats off to Claire Moore for a tremendous voice as well.

  42. J.... F....

    no one can replace her

  43. L.... H....

    In all of my 15 years, I have not heard good music that is in musicals & Broadway. I just got into this music & it literally changed my perspective in music.

  44. r.... d....

    Ellens t shirt got caught by the bed,s post.

  45. P.... ....

    Chris. You suck...

  46. c.... y....

    Claire Moore will always be the best ellen

  47. A.... N....

    Powerful. Empowering women & growing girls internationally to greatness:)!!

    A.... N....

    Omg...this talent is out of this world...seriously. The vocals r dead on...& beautiful.

  48. H.... s....

    she is also best in les mis

  49. 2.... ....

    Terry Wogan, all class👍

  50. G.... R....

    Yearssssss later...I still cry over this song and performance.

  51. T.... T....

    Lea's voice is filled with emotions, so beautiful.

  52. M.... M....

    Lea is the best Kim with Eva a close second

  53. p.... ....

    Whoops! I thought this was the song with Charlie Masso of Menudo. But this is good too.

  54. 2.... ....

    MY FAVE SONG IN THIS WHOLE MUSICAL. LEA'S VOICE IS TOTAL PERFECTION. SO CRISP AND PURE.

  55. P.... H....

    This is not a simple song to sing. It challenges your pitch and health of your vocal chords.

  56. X.... L....

    Lea's voice is so clear, but I have to say Clair blown me away here. The high notes she hits were so beautiful.

  57. j.... p....

    quel talent .......... merci

  58. P.... S....

    She looks so young! Wow! Was this from 1989?

  59. T.... I....

    Claire Moore is PERFECTION! They both are!!!

  60. H.... D....

    To truly understand Kim, it is worth reading When Heaven and Earth Changed Places by Le Ly Hayslip. It may truly change you, as Miss Saigon changed me.

    H.... D....

    Hugo DBPHuguenot okay

  61. r.... ....

    I am angry that Chris chose Ellen over Kim. I understand why, but it just makes me sad for Kim...

    r.... ....

    Ftmla I'm not mad for choosing Ellen over Kim. It just that he should leave the boy to the mother.

  62. �.... ....

    it's one million to find a real Star She was Born destined to be a Superstar

  63. T.... ....

    I'm Claire Moores voice on this track moves me to tears best Ellen ever

  64. P.... D....

    utter vocal perfection, Lea Salonga. love you.

  65. D.... L....

    Did Kim & Chris meet again..??? their love story was so sad and tragic. It's also very painful to Ellen, her situation was so devastated. but moreover, it's Kim's part who got the worst pain by waiting for Chris til the end.

  66. �.... ....

    the way she looks at him is so sad

  67. X.... M....

    the tragedy of war...

  68. M.... S....

    <3 this so much

  69. M.... L....

    MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T--T

    M.... L....

    totally broke my heart when I first watched the show at this moment

  70. F.... 2....

    KIM
    Last night I watched him sleeping
    My body pressed to him
    And then he started speaking
    The name I heard him speak...was Kim
    Yes I know that this was years ago
    But when moonlight fills my room I know
    You are here...still
    I still
    I still believe
    You will return
    I know you will
    My heart
    Against all odds
    Holds still
    Yes, still
    I still believe
    I know as long as I can keep believing
    I'll live
    I'll live
    Love cannot die
    You will return...you will return
    And I alone know why
    ELLEN
    Last night I watched you sleeping
    Once more the nightmare came
    I heard you cry out something
    A word that sounded like...a name
    And it hurts me more than I can bear
    Knowing part of you I'll never share
    Never know
    But still
    I still believe
    The time will come
    When nothing keeps us apart
    My heart, forever more
    Holds still
    It's all over, I'm here
    There is nothing to fear
    Chris, what's haunting you?
    Won't you let me inside
    What you so want to hide?
    I need you too!
    KIM
    For still
    ELLEN
    I will hold you all night
    I will make it all right
    KIM
    I still believe
    ELLEN
    You are safe with me
    KIM
    As long as I
    ELLEN
    But I wish you would tell
    what you don't want to tell
    KIM
    Can keep believing, I'll live
    ELLEN
    What your hell must be
    KIM
    I'll live
    ELLEN
    You can sleep now
    KIM
    You will return
    ELLEN
    You can cry now
    KIM
    And I know why
    ELLEN
    I'm your wife now
    KIM
    I'm yours
    ELLEN
    For life
    KIM & ELLEN
    Until we die

  75. E.... ....

    I love Lea's eyes <3

  76. L.... M....

    41 people have no taste.

  77. J.... S....

    Goosebumps!!!!!!

  78. E.... C....

    goosebumps for straight 7 seconds lol

    E.... C....

    The song was like 4 minutes long.

    E.... C....

    +musicaltheatergeek79 7sec was my longest. haha

    E.... C....

    Oh, you were experiencing afterglow. XD

  79. R.... E....

    Does the sound of Lea Salongas voice move anyone else to tears or is it just me?

    R.... E....

    I had to run to the parking lot to cry. Do not watch this in your office cubicle.

    R.... E....

    Richard Ellis no, it's the song.

    R.... E....

    Richard Ellis I agree with you fully that she is amazing! Her voice singing those notes and her diction is just excellent!!

    R.... E....

    Ana Irene Martinez even f the song no matter how great is futile as your ass f the delivery is worse

    R.... E....

    Claire Moore is an amazing singer too and first time I heard lea salonga sing was the les misérables 10th anivercery I love her voice soooooo much

  80. I.... W....

    Claire Moore killed it. She IS imo anyway, the best Ellen. Lea was alright too 😂

    I.... W....

    She was only 18 here tho. Watch her in the 2000 Manila Production. Way better.

    I.... W....

    Maya Magination

    I.... W....

    Honestly speaking Lea's part is way better tham Claire its too soumd pop not for theatre.

    I.... W....

    Irwin Wins seriously ??????

    I.... W....

    Irwin Wins Lol. Lea sang it more beautifully and emotionally

  81. W.... D....

    Miss Saigon is a Masterpiece! Watched this Performance when it 1st Aired on TV! Still have it on Tape! I begged my Mum and Dad to buy me Tickets! Had them for Christmas! Eventually saw over 25 Times! The Original Production and Cast are Still the Best!x

    W.... D....

    you still have it on tape?

  82. T.... L....

    she looks like Melanie Martinez with the gap on her teeth. I think so? 😂

  83. c.... ....

    never watched the whole musical but i really want to strangle chris right now

    c.... ....

    Suggest you watch it, because I'm afraid this comment makes you look a bit silly to people who know the story.

    c.... ....

    he didnt know it

    c.... ....

    musicaltheatergeek79 now I really wanted to stab him until he bleeds to death he doesn't deserved to live.

    c.... ....

    I 100% agree

    c.... ....

    I 100% agree

  84. k.... ....

    Major chills !!

  85. s.... ....

    so miss saigon is about a two-timer soldier.

    s.... ....

    nope, after three years chris already got married with ellen, the american girl, after he left vietnam.

    s.... ....

    sorry, am really clueless about the story, i just heard the audio cassette tape of this during early 90's

    s.... ....

    It's hard to get the gist of things because the audio really puts the events out of order. When you see the musical it makes more sense. That's what happened to me when I first got the tape.

  86. A.... A....

    This song just broke my heart. Gosh! It was so wonderful! Lea's voice is 💕

  87. M.... C....

    Two superb performances. Lea a teenager at this stage - astonishing.

  88. D.... G....

    This is my 2ND favorite scene, next to Room 317. Amazing and talented actresses, love u both!

    D.... G....

    +Debra Garcia same with me room 317 summarizes the whole plot

    D.... G....

    +Debra Garcia Room 317 is heartbreaking omg when everytime I hear her say 'then you must take tam with you' i die a little inside

  89. M.... L....

    Everything would have been perfect if that tramp Ellen would have just stepped aside and let Kim and Chris be together.

    M.... L....

    +crystalDM96 I agree. Especially if he knew what was good for him.

    M.... L....

    Little harsh no?

    M.... L....

    No a little harsh would have been selling Ellen the tramp to the Viet Cong..I knew Ellen...She was a horrible woman...Very unpleasant

    M.... L....

    I agree. I cant imagine the pain the ending of this had given me. If only Chris just waited for time he will reunite with Kim *sigh

    M.... L....

    Keep in mind Ellen didn't know about Kim. She is as much a victim as Kim is.

  90. D.... N....

    I am obviously from Mars and on Mars we only listen to Tchaikovsky and other Earth bred classical composers ! I will be visiting your planet in July to watch The Bolshoi Ballet dance Swan Lake in your city called London ! The only other Musical number I know is the last song from Carousel called 'When you walk through a storm' which breaks each of my 12 hearts every time I hear it broadcast from your planet !

  91. j.... m....

    Wow. 💝 💝 💝 💝 awesome. Xxx

  92. I.... D....

    Part of the melody reminds me of the Scottish tune Old lang sine.

  93. j.... ....

    i'd wish they had this number on the gala night of miss saigon since claire moore is present.,

    j.... ....

    +mikey p i was born in 1989. 😅

    j.... ....

    @89althea ah 80's baby :-]

    Where you from?

    j.... ....

    +mikey p late 80's baby yah 😉 im from philippines

    j.... ....

    @89althea Blimey you replied 6 months later lol, How you been??

    Have you been to the UK? I have been to Philippines a few times over the years

    j.... ....

    mikey p hey!! how are you😀 not yet in uk. but i think im watching miss saigon in new york this march! looking forward to it! hope you too

  94. c.... t....

    that's my Idol :)

  95. H.... S....

    lea salongas voice is so beautiful

  96. a.... ....

    Claire Moore really is excellent. Love her vocal control. A far better Christine Daae than Sarah Brightman too.

    a.... ....

    Too bad she is asian

    a.... ....

    ceilo centeno
    No she isn’t?

    a.... ....

    I'm sorry I went out if th topic. The "asian" comment was for lea salonga

    a.... ....

    I've always loved Claire's Moore voice and yes, I agree, she kicked ass as Christine Daae! Years ago, I found on the internet that she is a vocal instructor in London. I would love for her to be my voice coach.

  97. u.... b....

    Had the wonderful fortune to work on the crew at Saigon when both these were in the cast. Standing at the side of the stage when they both 'kicked off' made the hair on my neck stand up. Also worked on crew at Phantom with Claire (unlike some in the cast no pretensions, just a lovely lady). M Ball, D Willetts and Claire early in the 2nd act were un-forgettable.   Goose bumps doesn't come close, and puts chart 'singers' like Madonna to shame

    u.... b....

    +uncle bert That is awesome Bert bet you had a blast, They are 80's classics ...What other musicals did you work on????


    Please tell me you also worked on 80's classics TIME or Starlight Express?

    u.... b....

    +mikey p
    No, just did the 2 shows over 4 years.  Good times!.

    u.... b....

    @uncle bert Yea I bet you did have a good time and happy memories, So what other musicals have you seen and what do you do now?
