Woah! All this time I've been only listening to this song's chorus but now that I have really taken a look at the lyrics, I feel quite moved and I'm happy to share this to y'all. What a great song. And it's not only me who says so. This is actually a legend in the Philippine Music Industry.
Tagalog/Original Kamukha mo si Paraluman No'ng tayo ay bata pa At ang galing-galing mong sumayaw Mapa-Boogie man o Chacha Ngunit ang paborito Ay pagsayaw mo ng El Bimbo Nakakaindak, nakakaaliw Nakakatindig balahibo Pagkagaling sa 'skwela ay didiretso na sa inyo At buong maghapon ay tinuturuan mo ako Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay- malay Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay Naninigas ang aking katawan 'Pag umikot na ang plaka Patay sa kembot ng bewang mo At pungay ng 'yong mga mata Lumiliwanag ang buhay Habang tayo'y magkaakbay At dahan-dahang dumudulas Ang kamay ko sa makinis mong braso, hooh Sana noon pa man ay sinabi na sa iyo Kahit hindi na uso ay ito lang ang alam ko Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay- malay Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay La la la la, la la, la la, la la la Lumipas ang maraming taon 'Di na tayo nagkita Balita ko'y may anak ka na Ngunit walang asawa Tagahugas ka raw Ng pinggan sa may Ermita At isang gabi'y nasagasaan Sa isang madilim na eskinita Lahat ng pangarap ko'y bigla lang natunaw Sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay- malay Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay- malay Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay La la la la, la la, la la, la la la |
English You look like Paraluman* When we were kids And you can dance so well be it Boogie or chacha But my favorite is the way you dance the El Bimbo makes me dance, so entertaining goosebumps-inducing I would go straight to your house after coming back from school and you would be teaching me the whole afternoon Our hands are held together, without us noticing that you have taught my heart how to truly love My body stiffens when the record plays I'm caught between the swaying of your hips and your tender stare Life gets brighter while our arms are over the other's shoulder and so carefully slipping is my hand over your smooth arm Wishing that you've been told a long time ago So even if it's out of style, this is the only thing I know Our hands are held together, without us noticing that you have taught my heart how to truly love La la la la, la la, la la, la la la Many years have passed we never met again I've heard that you have a child already but no spouse to speak of It was said that you're a dish washer in Ermita and one night you were ran over on a dark lane All of my dreams melted away Guess I can only have you dancing with me in my dreams Our hands are held together, without us noticing that you have taught my heart how to truly love Our hands are held together, without us noticing that you have taught my heart how to truly love La la la la, la la, la la, la la la |
