Umaga na namanMorning’s here again
Umagang mainit ang usapanA morning where things are heating up
Mainit na may halong lamigWarmth that’s mixed with a chill,
Ang ‘yong kamayFrom your very hands
Haplos at ‘yong dantayYour touch and the way you lean,
Hindi makapaghintayI just can’t wait
Sa hawak mo na sanay na sanayFor your familiar, expert grasp,
OhOh
Kasalanan bang gumisingIs it a sin to wake up,
Kasalanan bang umibig kadalasanIs it a sin to love so often,
OhOh,
Kasalanan bang sabihin at aminingIs it a sin to speak and confess,
Kadalasang umiibigThat I’m often falling in love,
Sa hirap o sarapThrough the hardship or the bliss,
Sa iyo at sa ‘kin wohhFor you and for me, oh,
Sa hirap o sarapThrough the hardship or the bliss
Dalangin ko sa langitMy prayer to the heavens above
Ay ikaw at ikaw pa rin ohhhIs you and it’s still always you, oh,
Sa tuwing ika’y bumubulong sa hanginEvery time you whisper to the wind,
Gumagaan ang damdaminMy heart starts feeling light
Sa ‘yong bibig lumalabasIt comes out from your lips,
OhOh
Kasalanan bang gumisingIs it a sin to wake up,
Kasalanan bang umibig kadalasanIs it a sin to love so often,
OhOh,
Kasalanan bang sabihin at aminingIs it a sin to speak and confess,
Kadalasang umiibigThat I’m often falling in love,
Sa hirap o sarapThrough the hardship or the bliss,
Sa iyo at sa ‘kinFor you and for me,
