Makasarili Malambing Meaning & Lyrics (Kristina Dawn)
Kristina Dawn sings, ‘I’m left dazed whenever I see you.’ The artist questions who will make the first move. She asks if she belongs to herself or to others. The lyrics admit she might not offer a cure if staying is required.
Oh napapatulala kapag nakikita kitaOh, I’m left dazed whenever I see you.
Oh hindi malaman sinong mauunaOh, I don’t know who’ll make the first move.
Hin ba ang aking sarili oh ang ibaDo I belong to myself or to others?
Wala ‘kong tanong pero meron kang sagotI don’t have a question, but you have an answer.
Kung sa’n man patungo ‘to ay ‘di ako takotI’m not afraid of where this is headed.
Kung pananatili na lang ang tanging gamotIf staying is the only cure,
Baka hindi ko mabigay babyI might not be able to give it, baby.
Maintindihan mo sanang ‘di pa ‘ko handaI hope you understand that I’m not ready yet.
Oh ako rin naman ‘wag mo naman akong tignang-bantaOh, I’m the same way; don’t look at me like I’m a threat.
Kaya kahit na mahirap para sa’ting dalawaSo even though it’s hard for both of us,
Oh ‘wag ka madrama’t ayoko sa akin na palaban kaOh, don’t be dramatic; I don’t want you fighting me.
Oh ganyan ka hirap hagilapin pero dalawang beses ayos naOh, you’re that hard to find, but seeing you twice is enough.
Oh ganyan ka ‘pag wala ka magawa tsaka ka lang sa’kin nangangamustaOh, you’re like that; you only check on me when you’ve got nothing to do.
Mga bagay na ayaw natinThese are the things that we don’t like.
‘Pag nawala ka ‘di ko kakayaninI won’t be able to handle it if you’re gone.
At ayoko na sa’yo baby gusto kitang maging akinAnd I don’t just want you, baby; I want you to be mine.
Tulala kapag nakikita kitaI’m dazed whenever I see you.
Oh hindi malaman sinong mauunaOh, I don’t know who’ll make the first move.
Hin ba ang aking sarili oh ang ibaDo I belong to myself or to others?
Wala ‘kong tanong pero meron kang sagotI don’t have a question, but you have an answer.
Kung sa’n man patungo ‘to ay ‘di ako takotI’m not afraid of where this is headed.
Kung pananatili na lang ang tanging gamotIf staying is the only cure,
Baka hindi ko mabigay babyI might not be able to give it, baby.
Oh napapatulala kapag nakikita kitaOh, I’m left dazed whenever I see you.
Oh hindi malaman sinong mauunaOh, I don’t know who’ll make the first move.
Hin ba ang aking sarili oh ang ibaDo I belong to myself or to others?
Wala ‘kong tanong pero meron kang sagotI don’t have a question, but you have an answer.
Kung sa’n man patungo ‘to ay ‘di ako takotI’m not afraid of where this is headed.
Kung pananatili na lang ang tanging gamotIf staying is the only cure,
Baka hindi ko mabigayI might not be able to give it.
