Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night, another day is done
I'd be the last one to deny that it's so hard to be alone
Came across a gentle melody
Love allowed it, so I let it be
Why'd it take so many seasons
Now I found a reason to live for
This is oh-oh-oh-ours (Oh, oh)
This lo-oh-oh-ove (Oh, oh)
From the sta-ah-ah-ars, we are above
Oh-oh-oh-ours is a different kind of lo-oh-oh-ove
Find our names up in the sta-ah-ah-ars
From the sky we are above
There are songs I haven't figured out
The one of ours I think I know by now
We go on and on, and on
With the flow we go along, yeah
This is oh-oh-oh-ours (Oh, oh)
This lo-oh-oh-ove (Oh, oh)
From the sta-ah-ah-ars, we are above
Oh-oh-oh-ours is a different kind of lo-oh-oh-ove
Find our names up in the sta-ah-ah-ars
From the sky we are above
With the flow we go along
With the flow we go along
With you when the day is done
With the flow we go along
Stay until the morning comes
This is oh-oh-oh-ours
Is a different kind of lo-oh-oh-ove
Find our names up in the sta-ah-ah-ars
From the sky we are above

The next lines introduce a sense of hope as the singer discovers a "gentle melody" that represents a fresh start and renewed hope for love. The chorus repeats the lines "This is oh-oh-oh-ours, this lo-oh-oh-ove from the sta-ah-ah-ars, we are above", reinforcing the idea that they have found a love that is above all others, and they belong to each other. The final lines reemphasize the enduring nature of their love, with the intent to stay even until the morning comes.
The song is a beautiful ode to the kind of love that transcends all boundaries and is ethereal. The singers in the song are confident that their love is unique and special, soaring above the stars, and implicitly acknowledging that the world owes them nothing. The song is an invitation to be grateful for the simple things in life and find joy in the togetherness of love. The song also encourages listeners to seek out their own unique experience of love and not be deterred by past heartbreaks.

on Araw-Araw
The song Araw-Araw by Ben&Ben speaks about a kind of love that is magical and unforgettable. It starts with a setting of a perfect morning in a comfortable cradle with someone special, with the plea not to go away. And as the two lovers' gaze meet, it slowly but surely captures the other's heart. The following lines reveal the emotions that come with such love, which is greater than happiness alone. The song uses the word Mahiwaga, which can translate to mysterious, mystical, or enchanting, to describe the depth of their love. This profound feeling resonates in each day, and the narrator will choose this person every single day because this love is unexplainable and magical.
As the song progresses, it speaks of the tenderness and understanding that comes with such a mystical connection. It is a kind of love that is pure, whole, and all-encompassing. But at the same time, it is fragile, and therefore must be carefully held onto. This is insinuated in the verse about the wind, which at times can represent change, but the lover pulls the person back to themselves. The song concludes with a final plea not to let go of this magical love, and to choose it every day.
Altogether, the song Araw-Araw takes a poetic approach to describing a love that is hard to put into words. Still, it is ever-present and powerful, enough to make one choose it every day.
