Dear Kuya Lyrics

Cover art for Dear Kuya lyrics by Sugarfree

It's a song dedicated to the several young men who work hard abroad trying their luck for their family. This song is actually a kid's letter to his kuya (older brother), who has been working overseas for quite a long time, whom he really misses and shows a great deal of concern for. The chorus:

Nasan ka man ngayon, ano mang oras na ika’y may kailangan, tawag ka lang sa amin at parang nandito ka na rin

is the kid assuring his brother that no matter what, no matter when, his family will always be there for him, full -support. However, I have a hunch that it isn't totally a song of concern, but a song of a kid's dealing with loss. The line:

Matagal na rin, mula nang ika’y magpasyang subukan ang swerte, at abutin ang yong mga pangarap Sa ibang bansa kung saan ikaw ay lagging mag-isa kami tuloy dito, nag-aalala

probably depicts that the older brother, who has been abroad for a "very long time," might have been killed sometime during is work, but his kid bro still believes he's just there and continues to write to him trying his best to convince himself that his brother is still alive.
