Sandali Lyrics English Translation by Mrld
Meriel de Jesus describes a late-night conversation in the kitchen, where two people share a secret connection. The line ‘Wait a moment, spend the night here’ captures the essence of the song, a plea to stay close and savor the quiet together. The poet highlights small details, like the noise they could make in the silent surroundings.
‘Di ba pwedeng sa’kin na lang sumama?Can’t you just come along with me?
‘Pag nag-iisa ako ang bahala, yeahWhen you’re alone, I’ll take care of you, yeah.
Kahit mali sa’yo lang magpatamaEven if it’s wrong, I’ll only aim for you.
Kahit saan pa mapuntaNo matter where this leads,
Ako ang ‘yong kasama, yeahI am your companion, yeah.
Ako ang target ng awra mong mapang-akitI am the target of your seductive aura.
Kuhang-kuha sa bawat galawCompletely captivated by your every move.
Nakapikit pero ika’y tanaw koMy eyes are closed, but I can still see you.
I like it, ‘pag sa’kin ka pabalik-balikI like it when you keep coming back to me.
Ang unang pinupuntahanThe first place you go,
Patungo sa’kin alam ang daananheading to me, you know the way.
