Mata by Mojofly - LYRICS & English Translation

Original/Tagalog Lyrics

Kamusta na? Nandyan ka pa ba?
Wala na yatang ibang magagawa kundi, tumawa
Nandyan pa ba, mga ala-ala? -
Ang tanging bagay na naiwan sa'ting dalawa

'Wag nang paikutin ang isa't-isa
Lahat ng bagay ay malinaw na
'Di na rin kailangan 'pagpilitan pa
'Di mo na kinakailangan pang magsalita

Nakita ko na lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sa'yo oh 
2x

Kamusta na? Nandyan ka pa ba?
Wala na yatang ibang magagawa kundi, tumawa
Nandyan pa ba, mga ala-ala? -
Ang tanging bagay na naiwan sa'ting dalawa

'Wag nang paikutin ang isa't-isa
Lahat ng bagay ay malinaw na
'Di na rin kailangan 'pagpilitan pa
'Di mo na kinakailangan pang magsalita

Nakita ko na lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sa'yo oh 
2x

Mata mo, oh...  

English Translation

How are you? Are you still there?
Seems like there's nothing to be done but laugh
Are the memories still there? 
The only thing we have between us

Don't bother going around in circles
Everything is clear
No need to push it anymore
No need for you to say anything anymore

I've seen it all before
Conveyed by your eyes
Thank you anyway

How are you? Are you still there?
Seems like there's nothing to be done but laugh
Are the memories still there? 
The only thing we have between us

Don't bother going around in circles
Everything is clear
No need to push it anymore
No need for you to say anything anymore

I've seen it all before
Conveyed by your eyes
Thank you anyway

Your eyes, oh...

Pag-ibig by Sponge Cola (OST from TV Series "Dangwa") | LYRICS & ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I've never seen the series but this is a really good song! I love it. Like I keep saying, I only wish they made it longer :) Spread the love!


Pag-ibig

Lyrics & Music: Simon L. Tan

Performed by: Sponge Cola




ORIGINAL/TAGALOG


Gumaganda ang paligid
Kung bawat tao ay puno ng pag-ibig
Napapawi ang pighati
Masilayan lang ang iyong ngiti

O kay gandang isipin,
Ang isang mundong puno ng pag-ibig

Parang isang bulaklak na kay ganda
Na inabot mo sa iyong sinisinta

Ang iyong nilaan na pagmamahal
Ang dulot nito ay tunay na ligaya

Pag-ibig nga ang susi
Nararapat lang ibahagi...

Gumaganda ang paligid
Kung bawat tao ay puno ng pag-ibig
Napapawi ang pighati
Masilayan lang ang iyong ngiti

O kay gandang isipin,
Ang isang mundong puno ng pag-ibig

Isang mundong puno ng pag-ibig... 

ENGLISH


Our surroundings turn beautiful
If each and every person is full of love
Sorrow disappears
If only to see your smile

Oh, it's a nice thought,
A world that is loaded with love

Just like a lovely flower
That you gave to your dearest one

The love you provided
Resulted to pure joy

Love really is the key
It is only right to share it...

Our surroundings turn beautiful
If each and every person is full of love
Sorrow disappears
If only to see your smile

Oh, it's a nice thought,
A world that is loaded with love

A world that is full of love...

Panaginip - Noel Cabangon || Lyrics + English Translation

Panaginip = dream
:)





Meron akong isang magandang panaginip
At sana'y dumating
Isang umaga na wala nang mga problema
Ang paligid ay kasigla

Walang pangambang nadarama
At paglabas mo sa kalsada
Ay ngiti ang 'yong makikita
Sa bawat mukha

Darating din ang araw
Sisikat din ang umaga
Ngingiti rin ang langit
Maghihilom ang mga sakit
Hangga't ating mga paa'y
Patuloy na nakasayad sa lupa

Meron akong isang magandang panaginip
At sana'y maganap
Isang bukas na lubos ang pag-asa
Ang mundo ay mapayapa

Bawat bansa'y may pag-unawa
Mawawala ang poot at galit
Mananaig sa puso at isip ang pag-ibig

Darating din ang araw
Sisikat din ang umaga
Ngingiti rin ang langit
Maghihilom ang mga sakit
Hangga't ating mga paa'y
Patuloy na nakasayad sa lupa

At paglabas mo sa kalsada
Ay ngiti ang 'yong makikita
Mawawala ang poot at galit
Mananaig sa puso at isip ang pag-ibig

Darating din ang araw
Sisikat din ang umaga
Ngingiti rin ang langit
Maghihilom ang mga sakit

Darating din ang araw
Sisikat din ang umaga
Ngingiti rin ang langit
Mawawala ang poot at galit

Darating din ang araw
Sisikat din ang umaga
Ngingiti rin ang langit
Mananaig ang pag-ibig

Hangga't ating mga paa'y
Patuloy na nakasayad sa lupa

I have a beautiful dream
And I hope it comes true
A morning that has no problem
Everywhere is filled with zeal

No doubt can be felt
And when you go out to the streets
You'll see a smile
On every face

The day will surely come
The morning will rise
The sky will smile
All pain will heal
So long as our feet
Remain planted on the ground

I have a beautiful dream
And I hope it happens
A tomorrow filled to the brim with hope
The world is peaceful

Every country is understanding
Bitterness and anger will be gone
Love will prevail in our hearts and minds

The day will surely come
The morning will rise
The sky will smile
All pain will heal
So long as our feet
Remain planted on the ground

And when you go out to the streets
You'll see a smile
Bitterness and anger will be gone
Love will prevail in our hearts and minds

The day will surely come
The morning will rise
The sky will smile
All pain will heal

The day will surely come
The morning will rise
The sky will smile
Bitterness and anger will be gone

The day will surely come
The morning will rise
The sky will smile
Love will prevail in our hearts and minds

So long as our feet
Remain planted on the ground

Ferris Wheel by Yeng Constantino || lyrics + English Translation

Listen (Ferris Wheel - Yeng Constantino)


Meron siyang 'di nalalaman sa akin
Takot man ako sa heights
walang magagawa dahil nandito na
Magkahalong kaba at pananabik
Ang tuntungang bumuhat sa'min
Kailan man ay 'di niya alam
'Di pa umaangat, loob ko'y nahulog na

Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Unti-unti ring nasasanay
Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Ngunit parang ayoko na yatang bumaba
Bumaba... bumaba, bumaba

Hanging kaylamig ay may binubulong sa'yo
(may binubulong sa'yo)
Sigaw ng damdamin ay mas tahimik pa sa hating-gabi
Ang mundo ay ating minasdan
Habang oras ay bumabagal
Parang ang lahat ay huminto
Larawang dinadala nitong isip ko

Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Unti-unti ring nasasanay
Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Ngunit parang ayoko na yatang bumaba

Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Unti-unti ring nasasanay
Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Ngunit parang ayoko na yatang-

Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Unti-unti ring nasasanay
Sa piling mo ay nalulula
Ngunit parang ayoko na yatang bumaba
Bumaba... bumaba, bumaba...

There's something (*he) doesn't know about me
Even if I'm afraid of heights
Nothing can be done because it's here
A mix of fear and excitement
The platform that carried us
He will never know
It hasn't lifted, yet inside, I've already fallen

With you, I feel dizzy
Little by little, getting used to it
With you, I feel dizzy
But I seem to not want to go down
To go down..

The cold wind is whispering something to you
(whispering something to you)
The scream of my feelings is quieter than the midnight
We watched the world
As the time slows down
It seemed like everything stopped
A picture that's in my mind

With you, I feel dizzy
Little by little, getting used to it
With you, I feel dizzy
But I seem to not want to go down

With you, I feel dizzy
Little by little, getting used to it
With you, I feel dizzy
But I seem to not want to-

With you, I feel dizzy
Little by little, getting used to it
With you, I feel dizzy
But I seem to not want to go down
To go down... 

* he or she or they, whatever. Tagalog pronouns are genderless so you can interpret that either way

TULOY PA RIN by Noel Cabangon - Lyrics & English Translation

WOOHOOOOO I really love Noel Cabangon's voice and his music and the lyrics.... He's so amazing.



Sa wari ko’y
Lumilipas na ang kadiliman ng araw
Dahan-dahan pang gumigising
At ngayo’y babawi na

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa ‘king pag-iisa
At kaya nang iwanan ang
Bakas ng kahapon ko

Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin...

Kung minsan pa'y hinahanap
Pa ang alaala ng 'yong halik
(Alaala ng ‘yong halik)
Inaamin ko na kaytagal pa
Bago malilimutan ito

Kay hirap nang maulit muli
Ang naiwan nating pag-ibig
(Alam ko na ‘yan)
Tanggap na at natututo pang
Harapin ang katotohanang ito

Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Muntik na,
Nasanay ako sa ‘king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan
Ang bakas ng kahapon ko

Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
(Tuloy tuloy tuloy pa rin~)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
(Magbago man...)
Handa na ‘kong hamunin ang aking mundo
‘Pagkat tuloy pa rin
(Tuloy pa rin...)

... Tuloy pa rin...

In my understanding
The darkness of the sun is already in passing
Ever so carefully waking up
And will now recover

Almost
Got used in my solitude
And I can now leave behind
The trace of my yesterday

The song of my life will keep on going
Even if the shape of your heart has changed
I am prepared to challenge my world
Because it will keep on going...

Sometimes I would seek for
the memory of your kiss
(memory of your kiss)
I will admit, it will take long
Before I can forget it

It's difficult to repeat
the love we left behind
(I already know that)
I've accepted it and I'm learning
to face this truth

The song of my life will keep on going
Even if the shape of your heart has changed
I am prepared to challenge my world
Because it will keep on going...

The song of my life will keep on going
Even if the shape of your heart has changed
I am prepared to challenge my world
Because it will keep on going...

Almost
Got used in my solitude
And I can now leave behind
The trace of my yesterday

The song of my life will keep on going
Even if the shape of your heart has changed
I am prepared to challenge my world
Because it will keep on going...

The song of my life will keep on going
(It will keep going on and on and on)
Even if the shape of your heart has changed
(Even if it changed...)
I am prepared to challenge my world
Because it will keep on going...
(It will keep on going...)

... It will keep on going...

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

Tuwing Umuulan - Regine Velasquez || Lyrics + Translation

Haven't posted for so long! Anyway, my country's experiencing a storm. Let's all pray for everyone's safety! Please.




Tuwing Umuulan (When It Rains)- Regine Velasquez
 (ASIA'S SONGBIRD HELL YEAAAAHH)


Tagalog/Original

La la la...

Pagmasdan ang ulan, unti-unting pumapatak
Sa mga halama't mga bulaklak
Pagmasdan ang dilim, unti-unting bumabalot
Sa buong paligid t'wing umuulan

Kasabay ng ulan, bumubuhos ang 'yong ganda
Kasabay rin ng hanging kumakanta
Maaari bang huwag ka nang sa piling ko'y lumisan pa
Hanggang ang hangi't ula'y tumila na

Buhos na, ulan
Aking mundo'y lunuring tuluyan
Tulad ng pag-agos mo,
'Di mapipigil ang puso kong nagliliyab

Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw,
Damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

Pagmasdan ang ulan, unti-unting tumitila
Ikaw ri'y magpapaalam na
Maaari bang minsan pa, mahagkan ka't maiduyan pa
Sa tubig, at ulan lamang ang saksi

Minsan pa, ulan, bumuhos ka
Huwag nang tumigil pa
Hatid mo ma'y bagyo
Dalangin ito ng puso kong sumasamo

Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw
Damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

La la la...

Maaari bang minsan pa,
Mahagkan ka't maiduyan pa
Sa tubig, at ulan lamang ang saksi

Buhos na, ulan
Aking mundo'y lunuring tuluyan
Tulad ng pag-agos mo
'Di mapipigil ang puso kong nagliliyab

Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw,
Damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

Minsan pa, ulan, bumuhos ka
Huwag nang tumigil pa
Hatid mo ma'y bagyo
Dalangin ito ng puso kong sumasamo

Pag-ibig ko'y umaapaw,
Damdamin ko'y humihiyaw sa tuwa
Tuwing umuulan at kapiling ka

La la la...

English

La la la...

Behold the rain, gradually falling
On the plants and flowers
Behold the dark, slowly wrapping
The whole place when it rains

Along with the rain, your beauty surges
With the singing wind
Would it be possible for you to not leave my side
Until the wind and rain ceases


Pour down, rain
Drown my world fully
Like how you flow,
My heart ablaze cannot be stopped

My love is overflowing,
My affection screams in joy
When it rains and I'm with you

Behold the rain, gradually ceasing
You're bidding goodbye, too
For some time again, would it be possible to embrace and cradle you
In the water, witnessed only by the rain

Once more, rain, pour down
Don't ever stop
Even if you bring forth a storm
This is the prayer of my pleading heart

My love is overflowing,
My affection screams in joy
When it rains and I'm with you

La la la...

For some time again, would it be possible to embrace and cradle you
In the water, witnessed only by the rain

Pour down, rain
Drown my world fully
Like how you flow,
My heart ablaze cannot be stopped

My love is overflowing,
My affection screams in joy
When it rains and I'm with you

Once more, rain, pour down
Don't ever stop
Even if you bring forth a storm
This is the prayer of my pleading heart

My love is overflowing,
My affection screams in joy
When it rains and I'm with you

La la la...

Narda - Kamikazee Lyrics + Translation

I've found three versions worth mentioning. The original is by Kamikazee, and they have an acoustic version, too. Another version was a cover by a Japanese band called UCHUSENTAI:NOIZ (I'd let you all know that they are such sweet darlings, and their love for Tagalog songs make me love life even more). I'll just be posting links for the three versions.


A few notes:
Darna is a very popular Filipino super heroine. When she's not in her superhero form, she goes by the name "Narda". She has a brother named Ding and he has become Darna's sidekick.

NARDA 

Tagalog/Original

Tila ibon kung lumipad
Sumabay sa hangin
Ako'y napatingin
Sa dalagang nababalot ng hiwaga

Mapapansin kaya sa dami ng 'yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat, may pag-asa bang makilala ka?

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag-ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan

Nag-aabang sa langit
Sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala
Kahit sulyap lang, Darna

Ang swerte nga naman ni Ding
Lagi ka nyang kapiling
Kung ako sa kanya,
Niligawan na kita

Mapapansin kaya sa dami ng 'yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat, may pag-asa bang makilala ka?

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag-ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan

Nag-aabang sa langit
Sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala
Kahit sulyap lang, Darna

Tumalon kaya ako sa bangin
Para lang iyong sagipin
Ito ang tanging paraan para mayakap ka

Darating kaya sa dami ng ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko sila, paano na kaya?

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag-ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan

Nag-aabang sa langit
Sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala
Kahit sulyap lang, Darna

Nag aabang sa langit
Sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala
Kahit sulyap lang, Darna

English

Just like a bird at flight
Going along with the wind
I took a glimpse
Of the lady wrapped in mystery

Will you ever notice when you have a lot at hand
If everyone else is my rival, will I ever have the chance to know you?

A song that calls out
Probably you can hear it
An enigmatic love
Will just make its way through this song

Waiting in the sky
Peeking through the clouds
Behind the stars
Just one glance, Darna

Ding really is fortunate
You are always with him
If I was him,
I'd have courted you already

Will you ever notice when you have a lot at hand
If everyone else is my rival, will I ever have the chance to know you?

A song that calls out
Probably you can hear it
An enigmatic love
Will just make its way through this song

Waiting in the sky
Peeking through the clouds
Behind the stars
Just one glance, Darna

What if I jump off a cliff
For you to save me
This is the only way for me to embrace you

Will you ever come when you have a lot to do?
If everyone else is my rival, how will things turn out?

A song that calls out
Probably you can hear it
An enigmatic love
Will just make its way through this song

Waiting in the sky
Peeking through the clouds
Behind the stars
Just one glance, Darna

Waiting in the sky
Peeking through the clouds
Behind the stars
Just one glance, Darna

Biglaan - 6cyclemind || Lyrics + Translation


*It's the acoustic version (I really like this one). The original version is all over YT. 

Biglaan (Suddenly)

Nandito, nakaukit pa rin sa puso ko 
Nang sabihin mong "'Wag na lang"
Nandito, nakatatak pa rin sa isip ko
Kung paano mo tinalikuran ang lahat

Here, it is still etched in my heart
When you said "No thanks"
Here, it is still imprinted in my mind
How you turned your back on everything

Kay bilis
Ba't umalis?
Nakakamiss...

How fast it was
Why did you leave?
I miss...

Na bigla lang, 'di ko man lamang nalaman na mawawala, 
Na bigla lang, 'di mo man lamang naisip na idahan-dahan
Hindi ako sanay sa biglaan 
Unti unti na lang sanang nawala

So suddenly, I never even knew that it'd be lost
So suddenly, you didn't even bother doing it gently
I'm not used to unexpected events
I wish it just happened gradually

Hindi ba natin kayang magkunwari
At sabihin "Sige na lang"
Hindi ba natin kayang dayain 
Ang mga yakap sa tuwing lumalamig

Can't we pretend
And say "Yes go ahead"
Can't we cheat
The embraces in the cold

Kay bilis
Ba't umalis?
Nakakamiss... 

How fast it was
Why did you leave?
I miss...

Na bigla lang, 'di ko man lamang nalaman na mawawala
Na bigla lang, 'di mo man lamang naisip na idahan-dahan
Hindi ako sanay sa biglaan 
Unti unti na lang sanang nawala

So suddenly, I never even knew that it'd be lost
So suddenly, you didn't even bother doing it gently
I'm not used to unexpected events
I wish it just happened gradually

Hindi ako sanay sa biglaan 
Unti unti na lang sanang nawala

I'm not used to unexpected events
I wish it just happened gradually

Di ko man lamang nalaman na mawawala 
Na bigla lang, di mo man lamang naisip na idahan-dahan

So suddenly, I never even knew that it'd be lost
So suddenly, you didn't even bother doing it gently

Na bigla lang... (Kay bilis... Ba't umalis?)
Na bigla lang... (Nakakamiss)

So suddenly... (How fast it was... Why did you leave?)
So suddenly... (I miss you)

Maling Akala - Brownman Revival || Lyrics and Translation


*Note: Wrong Presumption, or Wrong Assumption, either can be treated as the translation. Just search up on those words, they can be used interchangeably (but "assume" or "assumption" is used differently in other cases)
Maling Akala (Wrong Presumption)

May mga kumakalat na balita
Na ang misis ni kuwan ay madaling makuha
Bago maniwala, mag-isip-isip ka muna
Marami ang namamatay sa maling akala

There are some news spreading
About someone's wife who can easily be taken
Before believing, arrange your thoughts first
Many people die from having the wrong presumption

Nu'ng ako'y musmos pa lamang ay takot sa multo
Nu'ng ako'y naging binata, sa erpats ng syota ko
Ngayon ay may asawa, meron nang pamilya
Wala namang multo ngunit takot sa asawa ko

I was afraid of ghosts when I was only a kid
In my adolescent years, was afraid of my sweetheart's father
Now I have a wife, I have a family
Well there aren't any ghosts but I'm scared of my wife

'Di mo na kailangan mag-alinlangan kung tama ang gagawin mo
Bastat 'wag kalimutan, magdadahan-dahan kung 'di sigurado sa kalalabasan, 
Kalalabasan ng binabalak mo

You don't have to think twice if you're doing the right thing
Just don't forget, slow it down if you are unsure of the outcome
The outcome of what you're planning

Maliit na butas, lumalaki
Konting gusot, dumadami
'Di mo maibabaon sa limot at bahala
Kapag nabulag ka~ hah~ ng maling akala

A small hole gets bigger
A few wrinkles increase in number
You can't just bury them away and forget
When you've been blinded by the wrong presumption

'Asan nga ba ako, kaninong kama 'to?
Ilang ulit na bang nagigising sa ibang kwarto
Naglayas sa bahay, akala madali ang buhay
Ngayon ay nagsisisi dahil 'di nakapagtapos

Where am I anyway, whose bed is this?
How many times have I woken up in a different room
Left home, thinking life was easy
Was unable to graduate and can only regret now

'Di mo na kailangan mag-alinlangan kung tama ang gagawin mo
Bastat 'wag kalimutan, magdadahan-dahan kung 'di sigurado sa kalalabasan, 
Kalalabasan ng binabalak mo

You don't have to think twice if you're doing the right thing
Just don't forget, slow it down if you are unsure of the outcome
The outcome of what you're planning

Maliit na butas, lumalaki
Konting gusot, dumadami
'Di mo maibabaon sa limot at bahala
Kapag nabulag ka~ hah~ 

A small hole gets bigger
A few wrinkles increase in number
You can't just bury them away and forget
When you've been blinded by the~ 

May mga kumakalat na balita
Na ang kaligtasa'y madaling makuha
Bago maniwala, mag-isip-isip ka muna
Marami ang namamatay sa maling akala

There are some news spreading
Saying salvation is easy to achieve
Before believing, think again
Many people die from having the wrong presumption

Sa maling akala, oh yeah
Sa maling akala
(maliit na butas, lumalaki)
Sa maling akala
(konting gusot, dumadami
(maliit na butas, lumalaki)
(konting gusot, dumadami)

Wrong presumption, oh yeah
Wrong presumption
(A small hole gets bigger)
Wrong presumption
(A few wrinkles increase in number)
(a small hole gets bigger)
(a few wrinkles increase in number)

Maliit na butas, lumalaki
Konting gusot, gumagrabe
'Di mo maibabaon sa limot at bahala
Kapag nabulag ka~ hah~ ng maling akala

A small hole gets bigger
A few wrinkles get worse
You can't just bury them away and forget
When you've been blinded by the wrong presumption

Binibini - Brownman Revival || Lyrics & Translation

This song kinda brings back the past, or something. This is one of the most popular songs years ago. I doubt most Filipinos wouldn't know this song. "Binibini" translate to "Miss" or "Young lady". In this song, it is used in a very fond manner, so you have to take note of that. 

There are many versions of this song - by Noel Cabangon, Janno Gibbs and Daniel Padilla. There might be more that I have not found yet. 



Binibini sa aking pagtulog, ika'y panaginip ko
Panaginip ng kathang dakila nitong pag-iisip ko
*Ang katulad mo raw ay birhen
**Sa abang na altar ng purong pag-ibig

Young lady in my slumber, you're my dream
The dream greatly crafted by my mind
It's been said that you are similar to a saint
On an ordinary shrine of pure love

O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag-alay sa 'yo

O how beautiful, how beautiful it is to serve you

Alaala, pag-isip at pagod, sa'yo'y binigay ko raw 
Binibini, ang aking dalangi't dasal, dininig mo raw 
Wika mo raw, "Iingatan ko,
Magpakailanman ang purong pag-ibig" 

Memory, thoughts and exhaustion; they said I've given them to you
Young lady, my prayers, they said you've listened to them
You've been known to say, "I'll keep it safe,
this pure love for forever"

O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag-alay sa 'yo 
O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag-alay sa 'yo 

O how beautiful, how beautiful it is to serve you
O how beautiful, how beautiful it is to serve you

Sa 'king tanong, magkatotoo kaya 
Sagot mo, para nang sinadya 

To my question, would it come true?
Your answer, seemed to be intentional

Pagsapit ng magandang umaga, ako'y bumalikwas din 
Panaginip naglaho't natunaw, ngunit nar'yan ka pa rin 
Paraluman, ikaw ay akin 
Sa bisa ng lakas ng purong pag-ibig 

At the arrival of the lovely morning, I rose suddenly
My dream faded and melted, yet you're still there
Paraluman, you are mine
Effectively through the strength of pure love

O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag-alay sa 'yo 
O kay ganda, o kay gandang mag-alay sa 'yo 

O how beautiful, how beautiful it is to serve you
O how beautiful, how beautiful it is to serve you

*birhen - translated to "virgin" but the connotation here is someone who has the traits of a somewhat holy-ish girl. Sad to say that this song imposes on what a woman should be, since the Philippines is a conservative country, reserved girls tend to be more liked in a general sense (but not now anymore, we live in 2014 for fuck's sake, let's keep our modern values in tact aka promote equality of the sexes)

** this line is different in other versions/revivals of the song. -- "Sa abang altar ng purong pag-ibig" 

Paraluman - just search her up, she's a very beautiful woman  and is used in Philippine culture to describe a very pretty person

Awit ng Kabataan - Rivermaya || Lyrics & Translation || Song of the Youth

Damn. I want to have all their albums! Rivermaya rocks! Yuuuup. Present-day songs aren't good enough for me. I really like this one; I hope you would, too! Anyway I think this song was from 1994. I wasn't born yet tbh hahaha. But well, good songs go a long way~ so here:


Awit ng Kabataan || Song of the Youth

Natatawa sa atin, kaibigan
At nangangaral ang buong mundo
Wala na raw tayong mga kabataan
Sa ating mga ulo

They're laughing at us, my friend
And the whole world is lecturing
They say we don't have the youth anymore
In our heads

Kung gusto niyo kaming sigawan
Bakit hindi niyo subukan?

If you want to shout at us
Why don't you try?

Lalo lang kayong hindi maiintindihan

We won't be able to comprehend you even more

Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon

The song of the youth
The song of time
Until the future comes
Let us sing it now

Hindi niyo kami mabibilang
At hindi rin maikakahon
Marami kami ngunit iisa lamang
Ang aming pasyon

You can't count us all
And you can't keep us boxed in
We may be many but we have only one
Passion

Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon

The song of the youth
The song of time
Until the future comes
Let us sing it now

At sa pagtulog ng gabi,
Maririnig ang dasal ng kabataang uhaw sa tunay na pagmamahal...

And at night when they sleep,
The prayers of the youth who crave for real love can be heard...

Nawawala, nagtatago
Naghahanap ng kaibigan
Nagtataka, nagtatanong
Kung kailan kami mapakikinggan

Lost, hiding
Looking for a friend
Wondering, asking
When will we be finally heard

Kung gusto mo akong subukan
Bakit hindi mo subukan?
Subukan mo akong pigilan
Subukan nyo kami

If you want to try me
Then why don't you?
Attempt to stop me
Just try

Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon

The song of the youth
The song of time
Until the future comes
Let us sing it now

Kabataan... Panahon... Kabataan...
Ngayon na ang ating panahon!

The youth... time... youth...
Now is our time!

Ngiti - Ronnie Liang | Lyrics & Translation (Smile)


Ngiti / Smile

Minamasdan kita nang hindi mo alam
Pinapangarap kong ikaw ay akin
Mapupulang labi, at matingkad mong ngiti
Umaabot hanggang sa langit

I'm staring at you without your knowledge
Dreaming that you're mine
Your red lips, and your bright smile
Could reach even heaven

Huwag ka lang titingin sa'kin at baka matunaw ang puso kong sabik

Just don't look at me or my eager heart might melt

Sa iyong ngiti, ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw, ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sayo, ang awit ng aking puso
Sana'y mapansin mo rin ang lihim kong pagtingin..

Your smile, entrances me
And whenever you'd move, my world stops
Only for you, is the song of my heart
I hope that you'd notice my hidden affection

Minamahal kita nang 'di mo alam
Huwag ka sanang magagalit
Tinamaan yata talaga ang aking puso
Na dati akala ko'y manhid

I am loving you without you knowing
I hope you won't get mad
My heart was probably really struck
This heart which I thought was numb before

Hindi pa rin makalapit; inuunahan ng kaba sa aking dibdib

I still cannot go near; nervousness always outruns in my chest

Sa iyong ngiti, ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay lalapit, ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Ang pangalan mo, sinisigaw ng puso
Sana'y madama mo rin ang lihim kong pagtingin

Your smile, entrances me
And whenever you'd come near, my world stops
Your name, my heart screams for
I hope that you'd also feel my hidden affection

Sa iyong ngiti, ako'y nahuhumaling (Sa iyong ngiti)
Sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw, ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sa'yo (Para lang sa'yo ang awit ng aking puso)

Your smile, I'm entranced by it (Your smile)
Whenever you'd move, my world stops
Only for you (The song in my heart is only for you)

Sana ay mapansin mo rin... 
Ang lihim kong pagtingin

I hope that you'd notice, too...
My hidden affection

Sa'yong ngiti...

Your smile...

Time In - Yeng Constantino || Lyrics & Translation

This is a really cute song! It's always been one of my favorites ever since I heard it on the radio. The music video is also nice! :-)




Lyrics and Translation

Ako ang (1)bida ngayon (Masyado kang ambisyosa)
'Wag kang kokontra kung ayaw mong masipa sa mukha (Kung kaya, eh 'di subukan na)
Masipa sa mukha (Sipain din sa mukha)

I am the hero right now (You're too ambitious)
Don't bother contradicting if you don't want your face to be kicked (If you can, then try)
Kicked in the face (Also kicked in the face)

Ako ang bida ngayon (Hanggang pangarap ka na lang)
Sa porma kong artista, daig ko pa si Nora at si Vilma ('Wag ka nang umasa pa)
Si Nora at si Vilma (Ilusyonada ka)

I am the hero right now (Only in your dreams)
With this style of mine, I've even surpassed (2)Nora and Vilma (Don't hope for it)
Nora and Vilma (You're a lady full of illusions!)

Dahil, ngayong gabi, ako'y titingalain
Ngayong gabi

Because, tonight, people will look up at me
Tonight

Ako si Darna, ako ang diyosa,
Ako ang talang nagniningning sa kalangitan
Ako si Wonder Woman, ako ang superstar,
Akin ang sandali, ako ang reyna ng gabi

I am (3) Darna, I am the goddess,
I am the star that's shining brightly in the sky
I am Wonder Woman, I am the superstar
The moment is mine, I am the queen of the night

Ikaw ang bida ngayon (Ako na nga ang bida ngayon)
Ang mga kababaihan, silaw sa'yong kagandahan (Pinagmamasdan)
Isang prinsesa sa bintana na hinaharana,
Ika'y pang-Miss Universe na

You are the hero right now (I really am the hero right now)
The women are blinded by your beauty (Stared at)
A princess by the window being serenaded
You are already at a Miss Universe level

Dahil, ngayong gabi, ako'y titingalain
Ngayong gabi

Because, tonight, people will look up at me
Tonight

Ako si Darna, ako ang diyosa,
Ako ang talang nagniningning sa kalangitan
Ako si Wonder Woman, ako ang superstar,
Akin ang sandali, ako ang reyna ng gabi

I am Darna, I am the goddess,
I am the star that's shining brightly in the sky
I am Wonder Woman, I am the superstar
The moment is mine, I am the queen of the night

Hanggang kailan kaya ikaw si Cinderella?
Hanggang kailan kaya, hanggang kailan kaya..?

Until when will you stay being Cinderella?
Until when, until when..?

(4)Alas-nuebe na, traffic pa
Kailangan ko nang magmadali at magta-time in pa
Male-late na naman ako sa trabaho kong ito
Siguradong sabon ang aabutin ko
Sa aking among gwapo na hindi ko kayang abutin
Hanggang tingin na lamang ba ako sa aking Prince Charming?

It's already 9, and it's so traffic
I need to hurry up and I still have to time in
I will be late again for this job
Surely I'll be met with scolds
From my handsome boss who I can never reach
Will I only be able to look at my Prince Charming from afar?

Ngunit,
Malapit na, magugulat ka..

However,
Very soon, you will be shocked..

Ako si Darna, ako ang diyosa,
Ako ang talang nagniningning sa kalangitan
Ako si Wonder Woman, ako ang superstar,
Akin ang sandali, ako ang reyna ng gabi

I am Darna, I am the goddess,
I am the star that's shining brightly in the sky
I am Wonder Woman, I am the superstar
The moment is mine, I am the queen of the night

Reyna ng gabi~

Queen of the night~

Ako si Darna
Ay, "Cinderella" pala...

I am Darna
Oops, I mean "Cinderella"...


*Notes
(1) bida - direct translation is [main character] or [protagonist] ; Maybe I should've used "heroine" since it's a girl singing? Whatchu think? Anyway I think you get what I mean
(2) Nora and Vilma - so who are these people? Why were they mentioned in this song? Short answer: Search the net for Nora Aunor and Vilma Santos. They are huge figures in the Philippine Entertainment Industry. It's typical for their fans to have arguments about who is the better artist/actress (Yep my mom confirmed it because I thought she was just kidding and apparently she's been part of the fandom) 
(3) Darna - a female super hero that is like the Filipino counterpart of Wonder Woman (in terms of design???) She's the most famous fictional hero in the Philippines
(4) Alas-nuebe - the right term is "Alas nueve" or 9 o'clock. Anyway it's a local bastardization of Spanish words. Yeah we do that a lot. Some examples: [cinco] becomes [singko] ; [seis] becomes [sais, pronounced /sa-is/ ] ; yes we use them in daily convos... [cocina] became [kusina] and that's our word for [kitchen]... and so much more.

Saan Na Nga Ba ang Barkada? - Apo Hiking Society || Lyrics and Translation ||

Here's a song that will make you reminisce the past ( ; n ; ) Ok it's really nostalgic! But it's a great song. The original is by Apo Hiking Society, and I found another version by Spongecola.








Tagalog/Original

Nagsimula ang lahat sa eskwela
Nagsama-samang labing-dalwa
Sa kalokohan at sa tuksuhan
Hindi maawat sa isa't-isa

Madalas ang istambay sa cafeteria
Isang barkada na kay saya
Laging may hawak-hawak na gitara
Konting udyok lamang kakanta na

Kay simple lamang ng buhay no'n
Walang mabibigat na suliranin
Problema lamang laging kulang ang datung
Sa'n na napunta ang panahon?

*Sa'n na nga ba, sa'n na nga ba
Sa'n na nga bang barkada ngayon?
Sa;n na nga ba, sa'n na nga ba
Sa'n na nga bang barkada ngayon?

Sa unang ligaw kayo'y magkasama
Magkasabwat sa pambobola

Walang sikreto kayong tinatago
O kay sarap ng samahang barkada

Nagkawatakan na sa kolehiyo
Kanya-kanya na ang lakaran
Kahit minsanan na lang kung magkita
Pagkakaibiga'y hindi nawala

At kung saan na napadpad ang ilan
Sa dating eskwela meron ding naiwan
Meron pa ngang mga ilang nawala na lang
Nakaka-miss ang dating samahan

Repeat *

Ilang taon din ang nakalipas
Bawat isa sa amin, tatay na
Nagsusumikap upang yumaman
At guminhawa'ng kinabukasan

Paminsan-minsan kami'y nagkikita
Mga naiwan at natira
At gaya nung araw namin sa eskwela
'Pag magkasama ay nagwawala

Napakahirap malimutan
Ang saya ng aming samahan
Kahit lumipas na ang ilang taon
Magkabarkada pa rin ngayon

Magkaibigan, magkaibigan
Magkaibigan pa rin ngayon
Magkaibigan, magkaibigan
Magkabarkada pa rin ngayon
(2x)...
English translation

Everything started at school
Bonded together the twelve of us
In mischief and wisecracks
Won't get enough of one another

Frequently hanging out at the cafeteria
A group so happy
With a guitar always at hand
A bit of push and they'll sing

Life was really simple back then
No huge problems of any sort
The only issue is the lack of money

Where ever did the season go?

*Where is it now, where is it now
Where is the gang now?
Where is it now, where is it now
Where is the gang now?

Together at the first courtship (wooing)
Accomplices in flattering (the lady or whoever one of them is courting)
No secrets kept from one another
O how great the group's friendship was

Separated at College
Each went to a different path
Even if we only meet sometimes now
The friendship would never be gone

And wherever did some go to
Some were left in our old school
A few suddenly disappeared

How I long for our old gang

Repeat *

Quite a few years have passed
Each of us have become fathers
Working hard to be rich
To have a comfortable future

At times we meet
Those who were left
And just like our old days in school
When we're together we get wild

It's really difficult to forget
The joy of our friendship
Even if many years pass by
We will always remain a group

Friends, friends
We are still friends up to now
Friends, friends
We are still a group up to now

*I'd like for all of you to know that the word "gang" here is supposed to refer to the affectionate relationship in a group of friends. Sorry I couldn't find a better word and I keep changing from "gang" to "group" urgh
