Tagalog Lyrics: Kia Alvarez Performed by Symphony Archustra for Mayroon kaming nais iparating (We have something to tell you) Chorus: Sa panahong ika’y mawawala (When you are gone and away) (Repeat pre-chorus, chorus, chorus with modulation) Coda:
Nandito Kami (We Are Here) Adaptation
English Lyrics: jackryan4DA
David Archuleta during the Grand Fans Day 2012 
Maaari bang awitin (Can we say it with a song?)
Alam mo bang para sa iyo itong himig (Do you realize that this song is for you?)
Handog nitong isang tinig (A gift of melody from our collective voice)
At sa iyong pagtahak sa bagong landas (And as you start on your new path)
Pagmamahal nami’y hindi magwawakas (Our love for you will never end)
Kahit ano pa mang mangyari’y iyong tandaan (No matter what happens pls remember)
Suporta’t paghanga sa ‘yo’y walang hanggan (Our support & admiration is yours forevermore)
Nandito kami (We are here)
Maghihintay sa ‘yo (We’ll be waiting for you)
Iyong tinig lagi sa aming puso (Your voice will always be in our hearts)
Kung sakaling ika’y mag alinlangan (And if ever you have any doubt)
Huwag kang mag alala (Please do not worry)
May nagmamahal sa ‘yo kami’y nandito (We are here loving you)
Di kailangan ang mangamba (There is no need to fear)
Pagka’t kami’y mga tunay mong tagahanga (For we are your true fans)
Dala namin ang iyong musika (Your music will stay with us)
Kami’y nandito… (We are here)
The AVP pojected on screen while AP was singing to David.
AP performance that made David cry (GFD, SM Megall Mall, 04 Feb 2012)
If you cannot view the above video, try it here -
Too bad that the HD version was cut-off accidentally midway the tribute siiiigggghhhhh. Cos the vantage point was perfect! Ironic that I was able to record the whole GFD event except half of the AP tribute – can’t be in two places at the same time, LOL. But I have the UStreamed version so I strung the two videos together to complete the AP tribute.
Archuleta Phiiippines handed David a copy of the lyrics, a CD copy of the AVP above and the Tree Adoption Certificate for 21 trees named after David thru AP and ARCH.
CONGRATS ARCHULETA PHILIPPINES FOR A HEARTFELT GIFT OF LOVE FOR OUR GUY!

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
More to come folks!
That was a beautiful tribute JR!! Thanks to you and all the fans for a wonderful show of support. Watched this on USTREAM!
thanks for the interpretation.
You Rock!! Thanks for everything.
such beautiful and heartfelt lyrics! thanks for sharing this jr.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah TONS of video to edit & upload.
And there you are…Thanks JR!
jr, take your time; maghihintay sa ‘yo.
awwwwwwwwwww desertrat
JR -- that was fantastic! You must have been in heaven. I watched the Ustream, too, and I think David was near tears.
That Nandito Ako at the press conference was so beautiful. I can only imagine him singing that in a concert in the Philippines. Gorgeous, emotional arrangement, too. Sigh…
JR…Did you see David sing Nandito Ako live? I couldn’t imagine…
A better one for actually hearing David:
I saw all Nandito Ako performances live except the presscon one cos that was a formal affair for the press and cast party. I personally didn’t want to intrude even if there could have been some way for some of us to attend it. BUT, I think I have the full video of the presscon, esp his performance
Was also quite lucky -- totally quirk happenstance — to hear the song sung live before its official live performance. Just hearing David, not seeing his beautiful face and dramatic interpretation, reduced me to taers…
Tons of vids, LOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTSSSS of stories & BTS tales
Oh, Marlie, you big tease. The first video is private.
JR--wow, lucky girl. I can’t stop watching that video of him singing at the presscon…. What a beautiful song.
So Sorry, AnotherDavid! That was posted openly on Facebook -- must be they locked it up.
Here’s the movie trailer:
MARLIE/ANOTHERDavid -- sorry that I had to take out that Nandito Ako entry and have asked naree to put it to private for now. That’s his performance from Talentadong Pinoy which hasn’t aired.
I also have footage of that and 1 more song he performed. TV5 has bent over backwards to fan requests and craziness and has treated fans w/ considertaion and respect that I want to make sure we give the same treatment back.
Naree will make it public once aired. I will post both my footage and the official studio footage once aired, ok?
JR -- I’m so glad you were able to hear the song live…..swooooon!
Hey, JR, thanks! That just gives me something to look forward to!
Saw it live, heard a rehearsal take -- totally unexpected. Ever tried hushing your own pee cos u realized its David voice singing Nandito Ako?
Sorry for being graphic but that was the situation I was in! LOL
Uploading vids now…
JR, I can guess. The song is just beautiful, without my knowing Tagalog.
MARLIE -- David was not nearly in tears. He actually cried. He wiped away tears and was handed a tissue. Beside him Eula was a blubbering mess -- this was clearly shown on UStream.
I think we can secure a footage of our performance. I mean I covered ALL their events. But I gotta sing for our guy, right?

Undeniable proof that David’s got the groove!
Longer version captured during the concert scene (when all cams and celfones were not allowed inside the venue)
How the recorder got passed security is the question -- must be from the talents… But at least this one has nothing to do w/ the shooting or scenes. Others and known Archies kept twitting spoilers -- something which I do not understand at all cos we were specifically asked not to…
He’s definitely got some dancing genes going on there -- got ‘em from Lupe!
Oh em gee that trailer was extremely squeesome!!!!!
My heart’s all aflutter!
One year ago today
How time flies
The FACE, THAT face! And the joyful tears he could not hold back
He is beautiful. And those tears are so sweet!
