Sandali Lyrics Translation – Cup Of Joe
Clint Joules Fernandez, a songwriter, writes the line ‘The water burns, the wind is choking’, a phrase that shows fire mixing with the sea. He hopes the listener stays close. He also mentions the wind choking, a line that captures breath stuck in a gust. The picture stays concrete, the promise stays close.
Nahuhulog na palaIt seems they’re falling now,
Mga dahon ng alaala ng nakaraanthe leaves of memories from the past.
Nakalatag na sa’ting daanThey’re scattered across our path.
Nalulunod na palaIt seems we’re drowning,
Sa oras at kahit pa bali-baliktarinin time, and even if turned inside out,
Ang agos ay nakakulong pa rinthe current remains trapped.
Sumasabog na ang mga bituinThe stars are already exploding.
Maaari bang tanunginMay I just ask,
Kung maabot man natin ang hangganif we ever reach the very end,
Tatalon ka ba kasi akowould you jump? Because I would.
Kahit pa ang mundo ay gumuhoEven if the world begins to crumble,
At ang kalangitan ay mahulogand the heavens start to fall.
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Kahit araw at buwan ay magtaloEven if the sun and moon collide,
‘Di magbabago aking pagsamomy plea won’t ever change.
Tanging hiling tanging hilingMy only wish, my only wish,
Ikaw ang aking huling sandaliis that you’re my final moment.
Mawala man sa gitna ng guloIf I get lost inside the chaos,
Ay hahawakan ang iyong kamayI’ll still reach out and hold your hand.
Tayo ay sabay na lalakbayTogether we’ll journey on,
Sa kalawakan na magsisilbing tulaythrough the cosmos acting as our bridge,
Tungo sa ugnayan ng ikaw at akotowards the bond between you and me.
Ikaw at akoJust you and me,
Tatalon nang sabaywe’ll take the leap together.
Kahit pa ang mundo ay gumuhoEven if the world begins to crumble,
At ang kalangitan ay mahulogand the heavens start to fall.
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Kahit araw at buwan ay magtaloEven if the sun and moon collide,
‘Di magbabago aking pagsamomy plea won’t ever change.
Tanging hiling tanging hilingMy only wish, my only wish,
Ikaw ang aking huling sandaliis that you’re my final moment.
Tubig nasusunog hangin nananakalThe water burns, the wind is choking,
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Ulap nalulunod araw giniginawThe clouds are drowning, the sun is freezing,
Tanging hiling tanging hilingand my only wish, my only wish,
Ikaw ang aking hulingis that you are my last…
Kahit pa ang mundo ay gumuhoEven if the world begins to crumble,
At ang kalangitan ay mahulogand the heavens start to fall.
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Kahit pa ang mundo ay gumuhoEven if the world begins to crumble,
At ang kalangitan ay mahulogand the heavens start to fall.
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Kahit araw at buwan ay magtaloEven if the sun and moon collide,
‘Di magbabago aking pagsamomy plea won’t ever change.
Tanging hiling tanging hilingMy only wish, my only wish,
Ikaw ang aking huling sandaliis that you’re my final moment.
Kahit pa ang mundo ay gumuhoEven if the world begins to crumble,
At ang kalangitan ay mahulogand the heavens start to fall.
‘Di man alam ang gagawinThough I don’t know what to do,
Sa’yo pa rin sa’yo pa rinI’m still yours, I’m still yours.
Kahit araw at buwan ay magtaloEven if the sun and moon collide,
‘Di magbabago aking pagsamomy plea won’t ever change.
Tanging hiling tanging hilingMy only wish, my only wish,
Ikaw ang aking huling sandaliis that you’re my final moment.
