Oksihina Lyrics English Translation by Dionela
Tim Dionela compares love to ‘a color your eyes have never seen’. He describes devotion as a jewel that outlasts everything, even offering to endure pain just to hold you close.
Kung ito na ang huling minuto sa mundoIf this were the world’s final minute,
Mga segundo’y uubusin sa tabi moI’d spend every second by your side.
Kulang ang habang buhay sa’tinA lifetime isn’t enough for us,
Bitin ang habang buhay sa akina lifetime feels too short for me.
At kung ipipinta ko ang pag-ibig sa’yoAnd if I were to paint my love for you,
Ito ay kulay na hindi pa nakita ng mata moit’d be a color your eyes have never seen.
Tila magbibilang ng hanginIt’s like trying to count the wind,
Balor mo’y ‘di kayang sukatinyour worth is impossible to measure.
Kahit lahat ay mawala na handa akong masaktanEven if everything disappears, I’m ready to hurt
Kung kapalit nama’y malaya kang mahahagkanif in exchange I can freely hold you close.
Tunay na propesiya ikaw ang dakilang rasonA true prophecy, you’re the great reason
Ba’t ako ginawa aking oksihinawhy I was made, my oxygen,
‘Pag hindi na makahingawhen I can no longer breathe.
Kung ipapahiram ko ng isang araw ang mata koIf I could lend you my eyes for just one day,
Malalaman mong sapiro ang tingin ko sa’yoyou’d know I see you as a ‘sapphire’,
Ika’y hiyas para sa akinyou’re a jewel to me,
Depekto’y ‘di kayang hanapina flaw I could never find.
‘Di kailangan ng dahilanThere’s no need for a reason
Para ika’y mahalin hanggang sa mawalanto love you until I lose
Ng pandama ating palad na magkakilala’t ‘di ko alintanathe feeling as our palms meet, and I wouldn’t mind.
Kahit lahat ay mawala na handa akong masaktanEven if everything disappears, I’m ready to hurt
Kung kapalit nama’y malaya kang mahahagkanif in exchange I can freely hold you close.
Tunay na propesiya ikaw ang dakilang rasonA true prophecy, you’re the great reason
Ba’t ako ginawa aking oksihinawhy I was made, my oxygen,
‘Pag hindi na makahingawhen I can no longer breathe.
Hak ishum nghi khaw akiYou’re a jewel to me,
Hak ishum nghi khaw akiyou’re a jewel to me,
Hak ishum nghi khaw akiyou’re a jewel to me.
Alh adngom ag ahwiHow beautiful you are,
Al awa wa mhid ni hya gi nithyou’ll never fade away right here.
Nga nam sap umukh aht nakh ngangi miIn the world’s final minute,
Taratig ngham gon uthlike the strength of the wind,
Alh ut ngana mhal la huhm ngalwa khiyou are my forever.
Kahit lahat ay mawala na handa akong masaktanEven if everything disappears, I’m ready to hurt
Kung kapalit nama’y malaya kang mahahagkanif in exchange I can freely hold you close.
Tunay na propesiya ikaw ang dakilang rasonA true prophecy, you’re the great reason
Ba’t ako ginawa aking oksihinawhy I was made, my oxygen,
‘Pag hindi na makahingawhen I can no longer breathe.
