The Juans • From “TAWID”
TAWID’s Ako Na Lang Filipino Lyrics English Translation
Carl Guevarra drafts verses that picture a hand reaching out in rain. He writes, ‘Let it be me instead,’ a line that asks for a chance. The lyrics describe waiting by a window, promising to catch a falling heart.
Ako na langLet it be me instead.
Naisip mo ba kung ako na langHave you ever wondered if it could be me?
Ako na langLet it be me instead.
Naisip mo ba kung ako na langHave you ever wondered if it could be me?
Nag-aabang lagi lang nasa tabi moI’m always waiting right here by your side,
Huwag kang matakotso don’t be afraid
Mahulog mayroong sasaloto fall, because someone is here to catch you,
Kung mapagbibigyan mo akoif you’d just give me the chance.
Ako na lang ang ibigin moJust make me the one you love.
‘Di ko pararanas sa’yoI’ll never let you suffer through
Ang mundong magulothis chaotic world alone.
‘Di na mag-iisip ng kung ano anoYou won’t have to worry about anything at all.
Pa’no kung ako na langWhat if you just chose me
Ang ibigin mo ohto be the one you love, oh?
Ako na lang ako na langLet it be me, just let it be me.
Naghihintay lang ng pagkakataonI’m just waiting for the right moment
Aminin sa’yo mula noon ikaw ang pangarap koto confess that you’ve been my dream all along.
At kahit saan lumingonAnd no matter where I look,
Subukin man ako ng panahonor if time tests my resolve,
‘Di lalayo hanggang ika’yI won’t leave until you finally
Mahulog akong sasalofall, and I’ll be the one to catch you,
Kung mapagbibigyan mo akoif you’d just give me the chance.
Ako na lang ang ibigin moJust make me the one you love.
‘Di ko pararanas sa’yoI’ll never let you suffer through
Ang mundong magulothis chaotic world alone.
‘Di na mag-iisip ng kung ano anoYou won’t have to worry about anything at all.
Pa’no kung ako na langWhat if you just chose me
Sana ay ako na langI wish it could just be me.
Pa’no kung ako na langWhat if you just chose me?
Pa’no kung ako na langWhat if you just chose me?
Ako na langJust me,
Ang ibigin moto be the one you love.
