Dilim
Ataska • From “the Vivamax Katas”
Dilim Lyrics Translation (from “the Vivamax Katas”)
Ataska sings about searching for a familiar scent. The lyrics ask, ‘When will I finally see you?’ He promises to hold his loved one tight and taste revenge.
Hah oh ohHah oh oh
Pumasok sa isang mundo naI’ve entered a world that
Alam kong nababalot ng dilimI know is shrouded in darkness,
At mukhang may tinatago sila na lihimand it seems they’re hiding a secret.
Hindi ko alam kung ba’t ayaw nilang sabihinI don’t know why they won’t say it.
HmmHmm
KailanWhen?
SaanWhere?
Kailan kita masisilayanWhen will I finally see you?
KailanWhen?
SaanWhere?
PaanoHow?
Oh pa’no kita maipaglalabanOh, how can I fight for you?
Hinahanap ko ang ‘yong halimuyakI’m searching for your scent,
Dati-rati kay dali ko lang malanghapsomething I once breathed in so easily.
Ano’ng dahilan ng ‘yong paglisanWhat’s the reason for your departure?
Hindi ko pa rin alamI still don’t know.
OohhOohh
KailanWhen?
SaanWhere?
Kailan kita masisilayanWhen will I finally see you?
KailanWhen?
SaanWhere?
PaanoHow?
Oh pa’no kita maipaglalabanOh, how can I fight for you?
Oh ikaw ba’y sinaktan kailan saanOh, were you hurt, when and where?
At hindi nakalaban kailan saanAnd couldn’t you fight back, when and where?
‘Di ka nakalaban ‘di ka nakalabanYou couldn’t fight back, you couldn’t fight back.
‘Di ka nakalaban ‘di ka nakalabanYou couldn’t fight back, you couldn’t fight back.
Mga luha mo’y aking nararamdamanI can feel your tears.
Hahanapin kitaI’ll search for you,
At ‘pag natagpua’yand once you’re found,
Yayakapin nang mahigpitI’ll hold you tight,
At ipapatikim ko sa kanilaand I’ll let them taste
Ang katas ng aking paghihigantithe bitter essence of my revenge.
