KAIA “Tanga” Lyrics + English Translation

[Verse 1]

Matagal ko nang napapansin, minsan ay nagpipigil
I’ve noticed it for a while, and at times, I’m holding back

Kasi nga ayokong na masasaktan kita
Because you know I don’t want to hurt you

Maraming nagsasabi na isa kang malaking problema
I’ve been hearing all of them saying that you’re such a big problem

Pero ‘di naman ako naalis kahit na
But here I am, not leaving you even though

[Pre-Chorus]

Sabi nga ni mama, “Wag kang magtitiwala
Mama has been telling me, “Never trust a guy

Sa mga lalaking gaya mong masyadong magaling sa drama”
A type of guy just like you who’s a little too good with drama”

Lupit sa pabango, tunay na baho mo
No type of strong perfume can hide whatever you fume

Sa loob ‘di mo matago, alam kong ‘di makuntento
‘Cause deep inside, I knew that you won’t be satisfied

[Chorus]

Huwag kang magagalit, kung ayoko nang kumapit
Please, don’t be angry if I want to let go so badly

Sinusubukan ko lahat ng makakaya ko
I’ve always tried my best in doing whatever I can

Huwag sanang magalit kung nalulungkot palagi
Hope you won’t be angry if I always end up sadly

Ayaw ka ng lahat pero andito pa rin ako
All of them don’t like you, but I’m still here and holding on

[Post-Chorus]

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 2]

‘Di naman ako nagtitiwala na (Nagtitiwala na)
I’m not that foolish, no more (foolish, no more)

Kasi nga laro mo’y kabisado na (Kabisado na)
‘Cause I can now see through all of the games you play (I can now see through it)

Sino bang niloko ko, alam kong hindi ‘to totoo
Who am I kidding? I know it’s all a lie

Ngayon lang galit-galitan ‘to, pero inlove pa rin naman sa’yo
I’ve been trying so hard to be mad at you, but I’m here, still in love with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Sabi nga ni mama, “‘Wag kang tanga-tanga” (Tanga)
Mama has been telling me, “Please don’t be foolishly dumb” (So dumb)

Huwag magpapaloko sa gaya mong magaling sa salita (Magaling sa salita)
Don’t easily fall for guys like you who have their way with words

Pero nakuha mo, marupok na puso ko
But you just caught me well—with this fragile heart of mine

‘Di makapaniwala, nahulog sa isang tulad mo
I can’t even believe I get to fall for someone like you

[Chorus]

Huwag kang magagalit, kung ayoko nang kumapit
Please, just don’t be angry if I want to let go so badly

Sinusubukan ko lahat ng makakaya ko (Okay)
I’ve always tried my best in doing everything I can (Okay)

Huwag sanang magalit kung nalulungkot palagi
Hope you won’t be angry if I always end up gloomy

Ayaw ka ng lahat pero andito pa rin ako
All of them don’t like you, but I’m still here and holding on

[Post-Chorus]

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

[Outro]

Nandito pa rin ako
I’m still here and holding on

Nandito pa rin ako
I’m still here and holding on
