About Di Na Muli

In 2016, long-time friends Jazz Nicolas and Wally Acolola wrote Di Na Muli. They entered the song into the 5th Philippine Popular (PhilPop) Music Festival, which was performed by The Itchyworms. It bagged the grand prize.

In 2018, the song has been given a new life as the official soundtrack of the hit film Sid & Aya (Not A Love Story) (Viva Films, starring Dingdong Dantes and Anne Curtis; and directed by Irene Villamor).

Somewhere in between PhilPop and Sid & Aya, the Itchyworms set out to immortalize the song. The result was a visually stunning and emotional music video. It is directed by Paolo Abella and Juno Oebanda.

Being a longtime friend of the Itchyworms, Oebanda approached the band to present the video concept. He sought the generous indulgence of the Cultural Center of the Philippines in the production. It was cited that the video will be a tribute to Teddy Hilado (d. 2015), Oebanda’s uncle, who was recognized as the father of lighting design in Philippine theater.

Main Characters

Meanwhile, the song’s themes of love, loss, and words left unspoken are embodied in the elegant performances of Rosky Balahadia Hilado (Teddy’s widow, formerly of the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company) and Carissa Adea (Ballet Philippines). and in the video’s sweeping visuals, all captured within the hallowed halls of the CCP.

The music video serves as loving tribute to Teddy, whose influence is still felt and recognized in Philippine theater to this day.

The Itchyworms are now proud to share what is probably the first-ever music video shot inside the Cultural Center of the Philippines. They are extending their heartfelt thanks to those who helped bring the music video to fruition.

Di Na Muli lyrics

Words and Music by Jazz Nicolas and Wally Acolola
Performed by The Itchyworms

Verse:

Nung araw kay tamis ng ating buhay
Puno ng saya at ng kulay
Di mauulit muli

Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas
Madarama mo hanggang bukas
Di mababawi muli

Chorus:

Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan
Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan
Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan
Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan
Patawad muli
Di na muli

Verse:

Ang oras kapag hinayaang lumipas
Madarama mo hanggang bukas
Di mababawi muli

(Instrumental)

Bridge:

At natapos ang himas ng sandal
Di kukubli aking tinig
Nang lumipas na’t di man lang nasabi
Salamat hanggang sa muli

Chorus:

Ang dami daming bagay na hindi naman kailangan
Kung pwede lang bawasan natin ang mga tampuhan
Hindi mo lang alam hindi mo pa nararanasan
Kahapon sana natin di mo na pinahirapan
Patawad muli
Di na muli

Binawi buhay mo ng walang sabi
Binubulong ko sa sarili
Mahal kita hanggang sa huli
Mahal ko hanggang sa huli
