What is the meaning of Ano Ba Talaga Tayo? Lyrics from TAWID?
Janine Berdin sings, ‘What are we, really?,’ capturing the confusion and longing in the lyrics. The poet asks direct questions, like whether the other person is lonely or hiding someone else, creating a mix of vulnerability and frustration.
Ilang buwan nang magkausapWe’ve been talking for months now,
‘Di pa rin siguradobut I’m still not sure where we stand.
Laging napapaisipI’m always wondering,
Kung ano ba talaga tayojust what we really are to each other.
Katulad ka lang ba ng ibaAre you just like everyone else?
Kung kelan nasanay na biglang mawawalaWill you vanish just as I’ve grown used to you?
Pakiusap lang, sabihin mo, oohPlease, just tell me.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Pag usapan natin, ‘di yung malaboLet’s talk about it, instead of staying in this haze.
‘Di malaman kung saan ba patungoI don’t know where we’re headed,
Ngayon ako ay naguguluhanand right now, I’m just so confused.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Sa akin nga ba ay ‘di pa sigurado?Are you still unsure about me?
Kung may iba ay ‘wag mo nang itagoIf there’s someone else, don’t hide it anymore.
Sawa na ako sa palaisipanI’m tired of these guessing games.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Malungkot ka lang baAre you just lonely?
Kaya sa akin lumalapit ka?Is that why you’re coming to me?
Iiwanan na lang ba na sugatan?Will you just leave me wounded?
‘Di naman kita minamadaliI’m not trying to rush you.
Siguro takot lang akong muling magkamaliMaybe I’m just afraid of making another mistake.
Sino ba ako para sa’yo?Who am I to you?
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Pag usapan natin, ‘di yung malaboLet’s talk about it, instead of staying in this haze.
‘Di malaman kung saan ba patungoI don’t know where we’re headed,
Ngayon ako ay naguguluhanand right now, I’m just so confused.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Sa akin nga ba ay ‘di pa sigurado?Are you still unsure about me?
Kung may iba ay ‘wag mo nang itagoIf there’s someone else, don’t hide it anymore.
Sawa na ako sa palaisipanI’m tired of these guessing games.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Puno ng tanong, walang kasagutanFull of questions, but there are no answers.
Heto ako, hindi makausadHere I am, unable to move forward.
Kung ito man ang hanggananIf this is the end of the road,
Tumingin sa’king mataLook me in the eyes.
Sabihin moTell me.
Tumingin sa’king mataLook me in the eyes.
Sabihin moTell me.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Pag usapan natin, ‘di yung malaboLet’s talk about it, instead of staying in this haze.
‘Di malaman kung saan ba patungoI don’t know where we’re headed,
Ngayon ako ay naguguluhanand right now, I’m just so confused.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
Sa akin nga ba ay ‘di pa sigurado?Are you still unsure about me?
Kung may iba ay ‘wag mo nang itagoIf there’s someone else, don’t hide it anymore.
Sawa na ako sa palaisipanI’m tired of these guessing games.
Ano ba talaga tayo?What are we, really?
