Kalimutan Ka Lyrics English Translation by Skusta Clee
Daryl Ruiz pens lines about physical loneliness. The lyricist shares, ‘I just pat my own shoulder,’ when there’s no one to talk to. He details turning alcohol into water, trying to cope but failing.
Pilit kong kinakayaI’m pushing myself to keep going
Na bumangon mag-isa sa kamato get out of bed all by myself,
Kahit ginawa ko nangeven though I’ve already turned
Tubig ang alak ‘di tumatamathe alcohol into water, it just won’t hit.
Kung sakali na magbago ang isip moIf you ever happen to change your mind,
Ako’y lagi lang namang nasa gilid moI’m always just right here on the sidelines,
Kaso nga lang kahit na anong pilit kobut the thing is, no matter how hard I try,
Ako’y ‘di mo nakikita woahI’m invisible to you, woah.
Hirap tanggaping ‘di mo na ‘ko kailanganIt’s hard to accept that you don’t need me anymore,
Sana nama’y nilabanan moI really wish you’d fought for us.
Anong nangyari sa tayo hanggang sa huliWhat happened to us being together until the end,
Tuluyan bang kakalimutan nawill it all just be completely forgotten now?
Ayoko pang mawalan ng pag-asangI don’t want to lose hope just yet,
Mga mata mo’y masilayan koof catching a glimpse of your eyes once more,
At kahit ano pang gawin kong pagkukunwariand no matter how much I try to pretend,
Ay tila ba nakalimutan nang kalimutan kait seems I’ve forgotten how to forget you.
Walang ibang mapagsabihanThere’s no one else I can talk to,
Balikat ko’y tinatapikso I just pat my own shoulder.
Papa’no ko tatanggapinHow am I supposed to accept
Na ika’y hindi na babalikthe fact that you’re never coming back?
‘Pag naaalala kita luha’y ‘di maipahingaWhen I remember you, my tears won’t stop flowing,
Mata’y wala nang mapiga ohthere’s nothing left to squeeze from my eyes, oh.
‘Di na ba talaga magbabago ang isip moIs your mind really never going to change?
‘Yan na ba talaga ang ikakatahimik moIs that really the only thing that’ll give you peace?
Kasi kahit na ano pang gawing pilit koBecause no matter how hard I try to push,
Ako’y ‘di mo na makita woahyou just can’t see me anymore, woah.
Hirap tanggaping ‘di mo na ‘ko kailanganIt’s hard to accept that you don’t need me anymore,
Sana nama’y nilabanan moI really wish you’d fought for us.
Anong nangyari sa tayo hanggang sa huliWhat happened to us being together until the end,
Tuluyan bang kakalimutan nawill it all just be completely forgotten now?
Ayoko pang mawalan ng pag-asangI don’t want to lose hope just yet,
Mga mata mo’y masilayan koof catching a glimpse of your eyes once more,
At kahit ano pang gawin kong pagkukunwariand no matter how much I try to pretend,
Ay tila ba nakalimutan nang kalimutan kait seems I’ve forgotten how to forget you.
Hirap tanggaping ‘di mo na ‘ko kailanganIt’s hard to accept that you don’t need me anymore,
Sana nama’y nilabanan moI really wish you’d fought for us.
Anong nangyari sa tayo hanggang sa huliWhat happened to us being together until the end,
Tuluyan bang kakalimutan nawill it all just be completely forgotten now?
Ayoko pang mawalan ng pag-asangI don’t want to lose hope just yet,
Mga mata mo’y masilayan koof catching a glimpse of your eyes once more,
At kahit ano pang gawin kong pagkukunwariand no matter how much I try to pretend,
Ay tila ba nakalimutan nang kalimutan kait seems I’ve forgotten how to forget you.
