Tibok Lyrics Translation – Rabin Angeles
The poet mentions small gestures like asking ‘How are you?’ and saying ‘Good morning’ to show how love grows. A key line translates to ‘So that you can finally hear the beat of my heart that’s meant for you alone.’ The artist captures the uncertainty and hope of unspoken feelings.
Nagsimula sa simple na pasulyap, sulyapIt all began with just a few simple glances,
Nagpapapansin sa’yoas I tried to get your attention.
Umabot sa palitan ng mga mensaheThen we started exchanging messages,
Kilig na kilig akoand I felt such a rush of excitement.
Kumusta, kain naAsking “How are you?” and “Have you eaten?”
Hello, magandang umagasaying “Hello,” and “Good morning.”
Ingat ka, pahingaTelling you to stay safe and to get some rest,
Huwag kang masyadong magpupuyat paand making sure you don’t stay up too late tonight.
Naramdaman ng puso naMy heart can really feel it,
Dahan, dahan akong nahuhulog sa’yothat I’m slowly falling for you.
Sa kada araw natin na pag-uusapWith every conversation we have each day,
Mayro’n nang namumuosomething beautiful is starting to grow.
Ngunit ‘di ko na alamBut now I don’t know anymore,
Kung ano ang patutunguhanwhere exactly this is heading.
Ang hiling ko lang namanAll I’m really asking for
Na itong naramdamanis that these feelings I have.
Sana, sana naman ayI hope, I truly hope that
Mapa, mapagbigyan nayou’ll finally give this a chance.
At nang mapakingganSo that you can finally hear
Ang tibok ng puso kong sa iyo langthe beat of my heart that’s meant for you alone.
Nara, naramdaman angI’ve finally felt what it’s like
Tunay na kaligayahanto find true happiness.
Sana, sana namanI hope, I truly hope
Mapagbigyan ang tibok ng pusothat you’ll give this heartbeat a chance.
Mm, ngunit biglang katahimikanMm, but then came this sudden silence.
Wala namang matandaan na nasabiI can’t recall saying anything wrong,
Baka sakaling ika’y aking nasaktanwondering if I somehow managed to hurt you.
Bigla na lamang ika’y ‘di nagparamdamSuddenly, you’ve just gone completely silent.
Ako ba’y pinagsawaan o may ginagawa lang?Are you tired of me, or are you just busy?
Sabihin ang totooJust tell me the truth,
Upang ‘di na malitoso I won’t be confused anymore.
‘Di na malitoI don’t want to be confused.
Saan ba lulugar?Where do I even stand?
Dahil ‘di ko na alamBecause I just don’t know anymore,
Kung ano ang patutunguhanwhere this journey is leading us.
Ang hiling ko lang namanThe only thing I’m wishing for
Na itong naramdamanis that these feelings I’m having.
Sana, sana naman ayI hope, I truly hope that
Mapa, mapagbigyan nayou’ll finally give this a chance.
At nang mapakingganSo that you can finally hear
Ang tibok ng puso kong sa iyo langthe beat of my heart that’s meant for you alone.
Nara, naramdaman angI’ve finally felt what it’s like
Tunay na kaligayahanto find true happiness.
Sana, sana namanI hope, I truly hope
Mapagbigyan ang tibok ng pusothat you’ll give this heartbeat a chance.
Sana’y huwag nang patagalin, aminin na rinPlease don’t drag this out, just admit it,
Nilalaman ng damdamineverything that you’re feeling inside.
Sana’y sabihin na sa’kinI wish you’d just tell me
Kung mayro’n mang pagtinginif you have feelings for me too.
Sana’y ikaw rinI hope you feel the same way.
Sana, sana naman ayI hope, I truly hope that
Mapa, mapagbigyan nayou’ll finally give this a chance.
At nang mapakingganSo that you can finally hear
Ang tibok ng puso kong sa iyo langthe beat of my heart that’s meant for you alone.
