Tingin Lyrics Meaning Cup Of Joe | Janine | Patutunguhan
Janine sings about a love that drowns out the chaos of the world. The line, ‘I don’t notice the noise around us, in this chaotic world, I’ve only got eyes for you,’ captures the intensity of focus on a single person. The songwriter uses the image of spinning slowly in the middle of the road to describe a moment frozen in time.
Dahan-dahan langJust take it slow,
Sa gitna man ng daaneven in the middle of the road.
Mga saglit na inilikha kakaiba ang tamaThe moments we’ve created feel so different,
Ng sinag sa’yong kutis na kayumanggias the light hits your sun-kissed skin.
Oh sa’n ba ‘ko dinadalaOh, where is this taking me?
Bawat ngiting biglaang nabura iyong naipintaEvery smile that suddenly faded, you’ve painted back again.
Hiwaga ng ‘yong tingin nang-aalipinThe mystery in your gaze captivates me,
Kahit sa’n man madalano matter where I’m taken.
‘Di pinapansin ingay sa tabiI don’t notice the noise around us,
Magulong kapaligiran sa’yo lang ang tinginin this chaotic world, I’ve only got eyes for you.
‘Di pinapansin ika’y paiikutinI don’t notice it as I spin you around,
Nang dahan-dahan lang sa gitna man ng daanso slowly, even in the middle of the road.
Sa bawat sandaling ikaw ay pinagmamasdanEvery moment that I’m watching you,
May dumadapong kiliti na ‘di maunawaanthere’s a spark of excitement I can’t explain.
Walang imik ‘di mabanggit nasa aking isipI’m speechless, unable to say what’s on my mind;
Ikaw lang ang nagmamarkayou’re the only one who leaves a mark.
Kahit mabitin aking salita mata’y ibinubunyag naEven if my words fall short, my eyes reveal it all,
Sa’yo lang magpapa-angkin ‘di palalampasinI’ll let myself belong to you; I won’t let this pass.
‘Wag ka sanang kumawalaI hope you don’t let go,
‘Di mawawalait won’t disappear.
‘Di pinapansin ingay sa tabiI don’t notice the noise around us,
Magulong kapaligiran sa’yo lang ang tinginin this chaotic world, I’ve only got eyes for you.
‘Di pinapansin ako’y paiikutinI don’t notice it as you spin me around,
Nang dahan-dahan lang sa gitna man ng daanso slowly, even in the middle of the road.
Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh
‘Di man alam ang daratingI might not know what’s coming,
Sa dulo at sa gitna ng dilimthrough the end and the heart of the darkness.
Sa liwanag mo nakatinginI’m looking at your light,
Sa’yo nakatingin sa’yo lang ang tinginI’m looking at you, I’ve only got eyes for you.
‘Di man alam ang daratingI might not know what’s coming,
Sa dulo at sa gitna ng dilimthrough the end and the heart of the darkness.
Sa liwanag mo nakatinginI’m looking at your light,
Sa’yo nakatingin sa’yo lang ang tinginI’m looking at you, I’ve only got eyes for you.
‘Di pinapansin ingay sa tabiI don’t notice the noise around us,
Magulong kapaligiran sa’yo lang ang tinginin this chaotic world, I’ve only got eyes for you.
‘Di pinapansin ika’y paiikutinI don’t notice it as I spin you around,
Nang dahan-dahan lang sa gitna man ng daanso slowly, even in the middle of the road.
