Chinito
Yeng Constantino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kaya ang tulad ko
Kahit nasa sulok lang ng iyong mga mata
Mahuli mo kaya ang pagsulyap sa'yo
Kahit hindi naman ako ang iyong kaharap
Oh chinito
Balang araw ay malalaman mo rin
At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh chinito
Chinito
Kung hindi inaantok
Kung hindi nasisilaw
Pwede bang malaman ko
May pag-asa pa kayang matatanaw
Bakit ba ang pungay ng bintana ng iyong mundo
Isang ngiti mo lang sakin
Ay baon ko hanggang sa pag-uwi
Oh chinito
Balang araw ay malalaman mo rin
At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh chinito
Chinito
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Ah sige tawa lang nang tawa
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
Kapag kausap na ikaw
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Oh chinito
Chinito
The song "Chinito" by Yeng Constantino talks about the singer's admiration towards a guy with chinky eyes or "chinito". She wonders if the guy, who is always in her line of sight, could ever notice someone like her who is just folding in one corner. She hopes that one day, he will realize that she exists.
Yeng Constantino also shares how she forgets about her physical appearance whenever she talks to the chinito guy. She wants him to listen to her and see her for who she is rather than just a random girl. She has been captivated by his looks and the way he makes her feel, but she hopes that they could have a deeper connection in the future.
Overall, the song is about the feeling of being seen and appreciated by someone who catches our eye, and the desire to have a genuine connection with that person.

Napapansin mo ba
Do you even notice me?
Kaya ang tulad ko
Someone like me
Kahit nasa sulok lang ng iyong mga mata
Even if I'm just in the corner of your eye
Mahuli mo kaya ang pagsulyap sa'yo
Will you be able to catch me glancing at you?
Kahit hindi naman ako ang iyong kaharap
Even though I'm not facing you
Oh chinito
Oh, my Chinese guy
Balang araw ay malalaman mo rin
Someday, you'll find out
At kung ikaw ay nakatawa
And if you're laughing
Ako pa ba ay nakikita
Can you still see me?
Nalilimutan ko ang itsura ko
I forget what I look like
Kapag kausap na ikaw
When I'm talking to you
Sana naman ako'y pakinggan
I hope you'll listen to me
At nang ikaw ay malinawan
And so that you'll see clearly
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Because you captured my eyes and emotions
Kung hindi inaantok
If I'm not sleepy
Kung hindi nasisilaw
If I'm not blinded
Pwede bang malaman ko
Can I ask?
May pag-asa pa kayang matatanaw
Is there still hope left?
Bakit ba ang pungay ng bintana ng iyong mundo
Why are the windows of your world so bright?
Isang ngiti mo lang sakin
Just one smile from you
Ay baon ko hanggang sa pag-uwi
I'll carry it with me until I get home
Ah sige tawa lang nang tawa
Oh, go ahead and keep laughing
Dahil nabihag mo ang aking paningin at damdamin
Because you captured my eyes and emotions
Oh Chinito
Oh, my Chinese guy
Chinito
My Chinese guy
