Silong Lyrics English Translation by Caña
Archie Fegidero describes the pain of being a ‘sakada’ in your beauty. The lyricist writes about taking shelter in the middle of the road, dancing in falling rain until needing your embrace again. The rain imagery shows cleansing before letting go.
Sisikat na muli ang arawThe sun’s going to rise again.
Ngunit heto pa rin naliligawBut here I am, still lost.
Sa silong mo ako’y tatahanI’ll settle down in your shelter.
Pero hanap ko pa rin ang daanBut I’m still searching for the path,
Patungo sa’yoleading to you.
Patungo sa yakap moLeading to your embrace.
Para bang isang sakadaIt’s like being a ‘sakada’ (migrant worker),
Na dayo lang sa ‘yong gandajust a stranger in your beauty.
Minsan ay nakakapagtakaSometimes it makes me wonder,
Ang silong mo’y biglang nawawalayour shelter suddenly disappears,
Papalayo palayo sa yakap kodrifting further and further from my embrace.
Kay ang gugma koBecause my ‘gugma’ (love),
Ay para lang sa iyois only for you.
Sisilong muna sa gitna ng daanI’ll take shelter in the middle of the road for now,
At sasayaw sa mga patak ng ulanand I’ll dance in the falling rain.
At habang may araw pa ako ay hagkanAnd while the sun’s still out, kiss me,
Hanggang ang iyong silong ay kailangan ko nanguntil I finally need your shelter.
Para bang isang sakadaIt’s like being a ‘sakada’ (migrant worker),

Minsan ay nakakapagtakaSometimes it makes me wonder,
Ang silong mo’y biglang nawawalayour shelter suddenly disappears,
Papalayo palayo sa yakap kodrifting further and further from my embrace.
Kay ang gugma koBecause my ‘gugma’ (love),
Ay para lang sa iyois only for you.
Sisilong muna sa gitna ng daanI’ll take shelter in the middle of the road for now,
At sasayaw sa mga patak ng ulanand I’ll dance in the falling rain.
At habang may araw pa ako ay hagkanAnd while the sun’s still out, kiss me,
Hanggang ang iyong silong ay kailangan ko nanguntil I finally need your shelter.
Sisilong muna sa gitna ng daanI’ll take shelter in the middle of the road for now,
At sasayaw sa mga patak ng ulanand I’ll dance in the falling rain.
At habang may araw pa ako ay hagkanAnd while the sun’s still out, kiss me,
Hanggang ang iyong silong ay kailangan ko nanguntil I finally need your shelter.
Kailan ba malalaman kung may hanggananWhen will I know if there’s an end to this,
Kung ang silong mo ay ‘di na maramdamanif your shelter can’t be felt anymore?
Paulit-ulit sinisigaw sa ulanI’m shouting it over and over in the rain,
Mga pangako mong ‘di ko na babalikanthose promises of yours that I’ll never return to.
Kailan ba malalaman kung may hanggananWhen will I know if there’s an end to this,
Kung ang silong mo ay ‘di na maramdamanif your shelter can’t be felt anymore?
Paulit-ulit sinisigaw sa ulanI’m shouting it over and over in the rain,
Mga pangako mong ‘di ko na babalikanthose promises of yours that I’ll never return to.
Kailan ba malalaman kung may hanggananWhen will I know if there’s an end to this,
Kung ang silong mo ay ‘di na maramdamanif your shelter can’t be felt anymore?
Paulit-ulit sinisigaw sa ulanI’m shouting it over and over in the rain,
Mga pangako mong ‘di ko na babalikanthose promises of yours that I’ll never return to.
Sisilong muna sa gitna ng daanI’ll take shelter in the middle of the road for now,
At sasayaw sa mga patak ng ulanand I’ll dance in the falling rain.
At habang may araw pa ako ay hagkanAnd while the sun’s still out, kiss me,
Hanggang ang iyong silong ay kailangan ko nanguntil I finally need your shelter.
Sisilong muna sa gitna ng daanI’ll take shelter in the middle of the road for now,
At sasayaw sa mga patak ng ulanand I’ll dance in the falling rain.
At habang may araw pa ako ay hagkanAnd while the sun’s still out, kiss me,
Hanggang ang iyong silong ay kailangan ko nang bitawanuntil I finally need to let go of your shelter.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
Handa ko nang bitawanI’m ready to let go.
