Nagsimula sa mataya-tayaIt all started with a game of ‘tag’,
Biglang pag-ibig nang nakatáyanow it’s love itself that’s at stake.
Bakit di maaminWhy can’t I just admit it?
Angking pagtinginThe feelings I’ve been holding onto.
Mula bata pa hanggang ngayonFrom the time we were kids until now,
Hindi na nawala paghanga komy crush on you has never gone away.
Mga pasimpleng tinginThose subtle glances I steal,
Walang kahambingthey’re beyond compare.
Parang tangaI’m acting like a fool,
Laging natatarantaalways getting so flustered.
Na maging una sa pila ng matatakbuhanAlways trying to be first in line to reach you,
Nakakakabangit’s truly nerve-wracking.
Baka kabaliktaranMaybe it’ll turn out the opposite way,
Ang ating kahinatnan kapag magkaaminanhow we’ll end up if we both finally confess.
NananadyaAre you doing this on purpose?
Ka ba na magmaang-maanganAre you just pretending you don’t know?
O sadyang naghahabulan mag-isaOr am I just chasing after you all alone,
Na parang tangaacting like a total fool?
Naaalala pa bang mag pikoDo you still remember how to play ‘hopscotch’?
Kasi baby ‘kaw ang best pick koBecause baby, you’re the ‘best pick’ for me.
Lahat gagawinI’ll do everything,
Ko para sayoI’ll do it all for you.
Pupunasan ko ang pawis moI’ll wipe away the sweat from your brow,
Pagkat lungkot ko’y pinapawi mobecause you’re the one who wipes away my sadness.
Sana’y sagutinI really hope you’ll answer,
Mo na ng “oo”me with a ‘yes’ by now.
Parang tangaI’m acting like a fool,
Laging natatarantaalways getting so flustered.
Na maging una sa pila ng matatakbuhanAlways trying to be first in line to reach you,
Nakakakabangit’s truly nerve-wracking.
Baka kabaliktaranMaybe it’ll turn out the opposite way,
Ang ating kahinatnan kapag magkaaminanhow we’ll end up if we both finally confess.
NananadyaAre you doing this on purpose?
Ka ba na magmaang-maanganAre you just pretending you don’t know?
O sadyang naghahabulan mag-isaOr am I just chasing after you all alone,
Na parang tangaacting like a total fool?
Parang tangaI’m acting like a fool,
Laging natatarantaalways getting so flustered.
Na maging una sa pila ng matatakbuhanAlways trying to be first in line to reach you,
Nakakakabangit’s truly nerve-wracking.
