Pangako (Main Version From “Batang Quiapo”) Meaning & Lyrics (Moira Dela Torre)

The lyrics describe the pain of unspoken feelings. ‘Why is there such sadness in your eyes?’ questions the narrator, seeking assurance from their loved one. The poet weaves a story of longing and the hope for a shared future, emphasizing a series of promises that pledge loyalty and togetherness.

Bakit ba may lungkot sa ‘yong mga mataWhy is there such sadness in your eyes?
Ako kaya’y ‘di nais makapiling sintaIs it that you don’t want to be with me, my love?
‘Di mo ba pansin ako sa ‘yo’y may pagtinginDon’t you notice that I have feelings for you?
Sana ang tinig ko’y iyong dingginI hope you’ll listen to my voice.
Ako ngayo’y hindi mapalagayI’m restless right now,
‘Pagkat ang puso ko’y nalulumbaybecause my heart’s feeling so blue.
Sana ay pakaingatan mo itoI hope you’ll take good care of it,
At tandaan mo ang isang pangakoand remember this one promise.
Pangako hindi kita iiwanI promise I won’t leave you.
Pangako ‘di ko pababayaanI promise I won’t let you down.
Pangako hindi ka na mag-iisaI promise you won’t be alone anymore.
Pangakong magmula ngayo’y tayong dalawa ang magkasamaI promise that from now on, the two of us will be together.
Ano itong nadarama koWhat is this I’m feeling?
Ako kaya’y nahuhulog umiibig na sa ‘yoAm I falling in love with you?
Sa t’wing kasama ka’y anong ligayaWhenever I’m with you, it’s pure joy.
Sana sa akin ay magtiwalaI hope you’ll trust in me.
Kung tunay man ang nadarama moIf what you’re feeling is real,
Mayro’n akong nais malaman mothere’s something I want you to know.
Ang aking puso ay iyong-iyoMy heart belongs to you, and only you.
‘Wag sanang lumimot sa pangakoI hope you won’t forget the promise.
Pangako hindi kita iiwanI promise I won’t leave you.
Pangako ‘di ko pababayaanI promise I won’t let you down.
Pangako hindi ka na mag-iisaI promise you won’t be alone anymore.
Pangakong magmula ngayo’y tayong dalawaI promise that from now on, it’ll just be the two of us.
Pangako hindi kita iiwanI promise I won’t leave you.
Pangako ‘di ko pababayaanI promise I won’t let you down.
Pangako hindi ka na mag-iisaI promise you won’t be alone anymore.
Pangakong magmula ngayo’y tayong dalawa ang magkasamaI promise that from now on, the two of us will be together.
‘Di kita iiwanI won’t leave you.
