Multo Lyrics Translation Cup Of Joe | Silakbo
The Ridao brothers write of being ‘slowly buried while still alive’ and ‘haunted by my own feelings.’ Cup of Joe shows how past love appears in shadows and imagined touches, making peace feel impossible to find.
Humingang MalalimTake a deep breath.
Pumikit Na MunaJust close your eyes for a moment.
At Baka SakalingAnd maybe, just maybe,
Namamalik Mata LangIt’s just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Ba’t Naba BahalaWhy am I worrying now?
‘Di Ba’t Ako’y Mag IsaAren’t I alone?
‘Kala Ko’y PayapaI thought I was at peace.
Boses Mo’y Tumatawag PaYet your voice is still calling.
Binaon Naman Na Ang LahatI’ve already buried everything.
Tinakpan Naman Na ‘king SugatI’ve already covered my wounds.
Ngunit Ba’t Ba Andito Pa RinBut why are you still here?
Hirap Na ‘kong IntindihinIt’s hard for me to understand.
Tanging PanalanginMy only prayer,
Lubayan Na SanaIs that you’d just leave me be.
Dahil Sa Bawat TinginBecause with every glance,
Mukha Mo’y NakikitaYour face is what I see.
Kahit Sa’n Man Mapunta AyNo matter where I go,
Anino Mo’y Kumakapit Sa’king KamayYour shadow clings to my hand.
Ako Ay Dahan DahangI’m slowly,
Nililibing Nang Buhay PaBeing buried while I’m still alive.
Hindi Na MakalayaI can’t break free anymore.
Dinadalaw Mo ‘ko Bawat GabiYou visit me every night.
Wala Mang NakikitaEven if I don’t see anything,
Haplos Mo’y Ramdam Pa Rin Sa DilimI still feel your touch in the dark.
Hindi Na NananaginipI’m not dreaming anymore.
Hindi Na MamakagisingI can’t wake up anymore.
Pasindi Na Ng IlawPlease turn on the light.
Minumulto Na ‘ko Ng Damdamin KoMy feelings are haunting me now.
Ng Damdamin KoMy feelings are haunting me.
Hindi Mo Ba Ako LilisaninWon’t you ever leave me?
Hindi Pa Ba Sapat Pag Papahirap Sa’kinIsn’t this suffering enough for me?
Hindi Na Ba MamamamayapaWon’t I ever find peace?
Hindi Na Ba MamamamayapaWon’t I ever find peace?
Hindi Na MakalayaI can’t break free anymore.
Dinadalaw Mo ‘ko Bawat GabiYou visit me every night.
Wala Mang NakikitaEven if I don’t see anything,
Haplos Mo’y Ramdam Pa Rin Sa DilimI still feel your touch in the dark.
Hindi Na NananaginipI’m not dreaming anymore.
Hindi Na MamakagisingI can’t wake up anymore.
Pasindi Na Ng IlawPlease turn on the light.
Minumulto Na ‘ko Ng Damdamin KoMy feelings are haunting me now.
Ng Damdamin KoMy feelings are haunting me.
Hindi Mo Ba Ako Lilisanin (Makalaya Dinadalaw Mo ‘ko Bawat Gabi)Won’t you ever leave me? (I can’t break free, you visit me every night)
Hindi Pa Ba Sapat Pag Papahirap Sa’kin (Wala Mang Nakikita)Isn’t this suffering enough for me? (Even if I don’t see anything)
Hindi Na Ba Ma Mamamayapa (Haplos Mo’y Ramdam Pa Rin Sa Dilim)Won’t I ever find peace? (I still feel your touch in the dark)
Hindi Na Ba MamamamayapaWon’t I ever find peace?
