damuh. Lyrics Translation – Kristina Dawn

Kristina Dawn describes the sting of a wound caused by love. ‘You still feel it. It’s stinging,’ she sings, capturing the pain of a relationship’s aftermath. The lyrics reveal the struggle of admitting the truth while facing the irreversible past.

Dama mo pa rinYou still feel it.
MahapdiIt’s stinging.
Pagkat yung sugat galing sakinBecause the wound came from me.
Oh babyOh, baby.
Alam mo yan kase di ka manikinYou know it’s true because you’re not a mannequin.
Alam kung san tatamaI knew just where it would hit.
Wag mo nang maliinDon’t try to deny it.
Di mo akalaing dito ka dadalhinYou never thought you’d end up here.
Ng tinig na iyong nadinig (yeah wassup)By the voice that you heard (yeah, what’s up).
Tila ba kahimig ng ‘yong mga pasakit, sikreto’t natatanging hiling (damn right)It seems to echo your heartaches, secrets, and your one true wish (damn right).
Parehas lamang tayong aayaw masawiWe both just don’t want to end up broken.
Papano ka itatama ng isa pang mali?How can another mistake ever make you right?
Sa mundong lagi na lamang nagmamadaliIn a world that’s always in a rush,
At ang lahat n’ya para sa’yo ay kulang lagi (what you gonna do now?)and where everything they offer you is never enough (what you gonna do now?).
SapagkatBecause,
Wala ko sa iyong tabiI’m not there by your side.
Sige hanapinGo on and search for it.
Di mo maaminYou can’t admit it.
Anomang gusto nandirito sa akinEverything you want is right here with me.
Di ka palarinYou won’t be so lucky.
Di mo maaminYou can’t admit it.
Di mo na rin mababalik ang datiYou can’t bring back the past anymore.
Sige hanapinGo on and search for it.
Di mo maaminYou can’t admit it.
Anomang gusto nandirito sa akinEverything you want is right here with me.
Panuoring wasakin ang mundo kong bigayWatch as the world I gave you shatters.
Galing pa sa langitIt came straight from the heavens,
Dyan ako sanayand I’m used to that.
AhAh.
