WALANG KAMATAYAN (Immortal)

Walang Kamatayan (literally “Immortal”) is a kundiman by Nicanor Abelardo that speaks of a love that endures beyond time and hardship. The song conveys the idea of undying devotion, with the lover pledging eternal fidelity despite pain or separation. Musically, it features Abelardo’s signature style—lyrical melodies and rich harmonies that blend Western art song influences with the heartfelt emotion of the kundiman. Its depth of feeling and timeless message have made it one of the classic works in the kundiman repertoire.
