Eraserheads: Pare Ko

Pare Ko was the first song of Eraserheads that was widely recognized first even before they have a recording deal. It started in the campus of UP Diliman and slowly spread outside the school This also had taken much attention because of the vulgar words used in the chorus of the song however it only made it more famous. This is the song sang by many teenagers and young adults of that time because of the very catchy beat and lyrics.

The lyrics tells us the emotion of a guy who is telling a story to his Pare (friend) about a college girl he knew and fell inlove with.The story of a bittersweet love starting with friendship and ending as only friends. He was asking his Pare to be just their for him as he fights the pain of being dumped.

This is the lyric video of the song and at the bottom was the live performance in them last concert of Eraserheads as a band.

1st VERSE:

Pare ko meron akong problema
Wag mong sabihing na naman
In-lab ako sa isang kolehiyala
Hindi ko maintindihan

1st BRIDGE:
Wag na nating idaan
Sa maboteng usapan
Lalo lang madaragdagan
Ang sakit ng ulo at bilbil sa tiyan

2nd VERSE:
Anong sarap
Kami'y naging magkaibigan
Napuno ako ng pag-asa
Yun pala haggang dun lang ang kaya
Akala ko ay pwede pa

2nd BRIDGE:
Masakit mang isipin 
Kailangang tanggapin
Kung kelan ka naging seryoso
Saka ka niya gagaguhin

CHORUS:
O, Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito
'Di ba, 'lang hiya, nagmukha akong tanga
Pinaasa niya lang ako, lecheng pag-ibig to
Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito

3rd VERSE:
Sabi niya ayaw niya munang magkasyota
Dehins ako naniwala
Di nagtagal, naging ganun na rin ang tema
Kulang na lang ay sagot niya

3rd BRIDGE:
Ba't ba ang labo niya
Di ko maipinta
Hanggang kelan maghihintay 
Ako ay nabuburat na

CODA:
Pero minamahal ko siya
Di biro, T.L. ako sa kanya
Alam kong nababaduyan ka na sa mga sinasabi ko
Pero sana naman ay maintindihan mo

4th VERSE:
O pare ko {o pare ko}, meron ka bang maipapayo
Kung wala ay okey lang {kung wala ay okey lang}
Kailangan lang {kailangan lang} ay ang iyong pakikiramay
Andito ka ay ayos na {andito ka ay ayos na}

2nd BRIDGE:
Masakit mang isipin 
Kailangang tanggapin
Kung kelan ka naging seryoso
Saka ka niya gagaguhin

CHORUS:
O, Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito
'Di ba, 'lang hiya, nagmukha akong tanga
Pinaasa niya lang ako, lecheng pag-ibig to
Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito

CHORUS:
O, Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito
'Di ba, 'lang hiya, nagmukha akong tanga
Pinaasa niya lang ako, lecheng pag-ibig to
Diyos ko, ano ba naman ito
