tulad ng dati Lyrics Translation – Ena Mori | Over October
Thyro Alfaro writes the line ‘I hope our old bond returns’ to echo youthful longing. The poet describes a scene of buying drinks after school, then hopping on a jeepney to Makati. Lyrics mention BGC streets, and they describe laughing until sunrise, holding hands like before.
Something about me around youSomething about me around you,
Something about mesomething about me.
Dati rati sabay pa natingBack then, together we would
Pinangarap ang lahatdream of having it all.
Magdamag na nag uusapTalking all night long,
Kahit mata’y bumibigateven as our eyes grew heavy.
Natutuwa sa kaiisipFinding joy in the thought
Na magkasamang tatandathat we’d grow old together.
Mababalik pa baWill it ever return,
Ang ating dating pagasasamathe bond we shared back then?
Young and dumb purest heartYoung and dumb with the purest hearts,
We were royals of the citywe were royals of the city.
Used to hangout after school hoursWe used to hang out after school,
Buying all our favorite drinksbuying all our favorite drinks.
Dying laughing up ’til morningDying of laughter until morning,
Never forgettin’ how to dreamnever forgetting how to dream.
Oh those days are goneOh, those days are gone,
But we’re still the samebut we’re still the same.
So take my handSo take my hand.
