Maki “Dilaw” Lyrics + English Translation

[Verse 1]

Alam mo ba muntikan nang sumuko ang puso ko?
Did you know that my heart almost gave up?

Sa paulit-ulit na pagkakataon na nasaktan, nabigo
In all those times that I got hurt and failed

[Pre-Chorus]

Mukhang delikado na naman ako
It feels like I’m in danger once more

Oh, bakit ba kinikilig na naman ako?
Why am I feeling butterflies again?

Pero ngayon ay parang kakaiba
But this time, it feels different

‘Pag nakatingin sa’yong mata, ang mundo ay kalma
When I look into your eyes, the world is calm

[Chorus]

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, ‘di magmamadali
Now that you’re here, there’s no need to rush

Ikaw lang ang katabi hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
I’ll always be beside you until our hair turns grey

‘Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Now I don’t need to find answers to questions I used to ask

Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko
Because you’re my certainty

Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw
This time, I won’t ever let go now that it’s you I’m dancing with

Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
If there were a color that sheds light on me,

Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw
It’s you, you are yellow

[Verse 2]

‘Di akalaing mararamdaman kong muli
I never thought I’d feel

Ang yakap ng panahon habang
Time’s embrace again while

Kumakalabit ang init at sinag ng araw
Rays of sunshine touch my face

(Sa lilim ng ulap)
(Under the clouds)

[Pre-Chorus]

Mukhang ‘di naman delikado
I don’t think I’m in danger

Kasi parang ngumingiti na naman ako
‘Cause for some reason I’m smiling again

(Ngumingiti na naman ako)
(I’m smiling again)

Kaya ngayon ‘di na ‘ko mangangamba
And from now on, I won’t worry about

Kahit ano’ng sabihin nila
Whatever they may say

[Chorus]

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, ‘di magmamadali
Now that you’re here, there’s no need to rush

Ikaw lang ang katabi hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
I’ll always be beside you until our hair turns grey

‘Di na maghahanap ng kung ano’ng sagot sa mga tanong
Now I don’t need to find answers to questions I used to ask

Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko
Because you’re my certainty

Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw
This time, I won’t ever let go

Ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw
Now that it’s you I’m dancing with

Kung mayro’n mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
If there were a color that sheds light on me,

Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw
It’s you, you are yellow

[Interlude]

(Ikaw, ikaw, ikaw)
(You, you, you)

[Chorus]

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, ‘di magmamadali
Now that you’re here, there’s no need to rush

Ikaw lang ang katabi hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
I’ll always be beside you until our hair turns grey

‘Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Now I don’t need to find answers to questions I used to ask

Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko (Dahil ikaw, ikaw)
Because you’re my certainty (Because you are, you are)

Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw
This time, I won’t ever let go now that it’s you I’m dancing with

(Ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw)
(Now that it’s you I’m dancing with)

Kung mayro’n mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
If there were a color that sheds light on me,

Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw
It’s you, you are yellow
