Sa Akin Lyrics Translation – Calein
The lyricist writes about a love that transforms the world, using the metaphor of a ‘diwata’ or fairy to describe a beloved of extraordinary beauty. A standout line, ‘I want to be with you until we grow old,’ captures the song’s essence of eternal commitment. Mustacho’s words are simple yet deeply touching, highlighting the joy and vulnerability of true love.
Oh kay tagal nag antayOh, I’ve waited such a long time,
Sa iyong pagdatingfor you to finally arrive.
Hindi ko na maitatagoI can’t hide it anymore,
Kahit anong gawin hindi magsasawano matter what I do, I’ll never grow tired of you.
Sa mga ngiti sa mga tinginWith every smile, with every glance,
Hindi ko akalain na magkakagustoI never expected that someone
Ang isang anyong diwata sa isang katulad kowith the beauty of a ‘diwata’ would fall for someone like me.
Mga mata ay natutuwaMy eyes light up with joy,
Bigla na lang nagbago ang ikot ng mundoand suddenly, the turning of my world has changed.
Sa akin araw araw sasabihin sa’yo naEvery single day, I’ll say to you that…
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until we grow old.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ika’y mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t bear it if you were lost to me, to me.
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until we’re old and gray.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ikay mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t bear it if you were lost to me, to me.
Sa mga ngiti sa mga tinginWith every smile, with every glance,
Hindi ko akalain na magkakagustoI never thought that someone
Ang isang anyong diwata sa isang katulad kolike a ‘diwata’ would want someone like me.
Mga mata ay natutuwaMy eyes are filled with joy,
Bigla na lang nagbago ang ikot ng mundoand suddenly, the rotation of my world has shifted.
Sa akin araw araw sasabihin sa’yo naEvery day, I’ll keep telling you that…
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until we grow old.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ika’y mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t bear it if you were lost to me, to me.
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until the very end.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ika’y mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t handle it if you were gone from me, from me.
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until we grow old.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ika’y mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t bear it if you were lost to me, to me.
Gusto kang makasama hanggang sa pagtandaI want to be with you until we’re old and gray.
Hindi ko kakayanin na ikay mawala sa akin sa akinI couldn’t bear it if you were lost to me, to me.
