Lyrics + English Translation - Tadhana by Up Dharma Down

It took me some time to get back to this blog. Here's another translation. I think my translation for this one is not good enough so if you know better, please tell me. I feel like I have taken the over-all atmosphere and meaning of the song so I apologize.

TADHANA - UP DHARMA DOWN
Lyrics & Translation



Sa hindi inaaasahang
pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nagdugtong,
Damang-dama na ang ugong nito

'Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat
Na hinding-hindi ko ipararanas sayo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong mata
Sumisigaw ng pagsinta...

Ba't 'di pa patulan ang pagsuyong nagkulang?
Tayong umaasang hilaga't kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan, at bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip sa'yo...

Saan nga ba patungo? (Saan nga ba patungo)
Nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay
Dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo

Ba't 'di pa sabihin ang hindi mo maamin?
Ipa-uubaya na lang ba 'to sa hangin?
Huwag mong ikatakot ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako't nakikinig sa'ýo
In an unexpected
Meeting of worlds
Linked at one point,
Its resonance could already be felt

Wasn't the pain and everything else that
I won't ever let you come to, enough?
Your eyes reveal you truthfully
Crying for passion...

Why not pursue the missing affection?
We who keep anticipating from north and east
You are the destination, and as your refuge
I will come to your rescue...

Where is this headed to again?
Barefoot and bewildered
The storm of destiny is
Taking me to the warmth of your arms

Why not say what you can't admit?
Will this be left for the wind to take care of?
Do not fear the whisper of your feelings
I am here and I'm listening to you
