Truefaith – “DYAHE” from the album “11” – Viva Records out 2020

The official lyric video of “Dyahe” by TrueFaith.

True Faith, one of the great pop bands of the mid-90’s and pretty much the aughts’ first decade, returns with renewed vigour and a new track to boot with “Dyahe.” The single is their first with Viva Records since re-signing with the label and their first after 2009’s full length album “The Love Parade.”

The term ‘dyahe,’ is a slang that loosely means awkward or humiliating. In the song, it’s what the protagonist feels as he tries to mend things up with a girl, which admittedly he messed up in the first place. Much like the term ‘hugot,’ ‘dyahe’ was an idiomatic expression that colored young people’s everyday conversation at some point.

Fans of the band from way back could easily relate to that as True Faith puts a throwback spin unto a new song. But what the true-blue True Faith fan would instantly react to are the staple ear-worm melodies, catchy choruses, the unmistakeable True Faith oomph in the groove and of course, singer Medwin Marfil’s easily identifiable voice.

While “Dyahe” may start out slow, it eventually builds to a bouncy tempo as it pumps out TF’s di riguer piano and keys, acoustic guitars and that New Wave-y flavour that they frequently flavour their songs with.

“Dyahe” is just the first of many upcoming songs from True Faith this 2020.

LYRICS:

Parang trip kitang tawagan
Sa tindi ng aking kalasingan
Mga alaala’y bumubuhos
Sa baso ng aking isipan

Gusto ko sanang balikan
Pwede kaya ang second chance
(Second chance)
Balita ko’y single ka na naman
Gusto kitang balikan

Pero dyahe
Baka mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako
Mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako

Dyahe
Dyahe

Alam kong hindi makatarungan
Yung bigla na lang kitang iniwan
Nalihis ako sa ‘di inaasahan
At yun ay aking pinagsisisihan

Gusto ko sanang balikan
Pwede mo ba akong pagbigyan
(Pagbigayan)
Magso-sorry na naman
(Sorry)
Gusto kitang balikan

Pero dyahe
Baka mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako
Mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako

Dyahe
Dyahe

1-2-3-4

Dyahe

Baka mapahiya lang ako
Mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako

Dyahe

Baka mapahiya lang ako
Mapahiya lang ako
Baka mapahiya lang ako

Dyahe

Dyahe
Dyahe
