Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mali pala iba yata baka lang ay nagkasinat
Kaya naman ako'y nagkamali sa aking pagpili
'Di pala ikaw ang nag-iisang nararapat para sa 'kin
Akala ko tama na 'to aking ginagawa
'Di pala tamang sundin ang feelings ko kaya
Napaisip, napagana ko muli ang aking utak
Kaya naman
Makinig ka muna
Mabilis lang 'to
Basta 'wag kang magagalit 'pag sinabi kong
Sorry sorry na, Katrina
'Di pala kita mahal
Kulang pa ba'ng mga salita na aking sinabi
Ubos na kasi'ng mga salitang lumalabas sa labi
Okay lang kung 'di mo kailanman ako patatawarin
'Di pala nakabubuti ang pramis na 'di natutupad
'Wag ka sanang lumuha, 'di mo kasalanan 'to
Mas nakabubuti kung ako na lang ang lalayo

Akala ko ikaw na nga ang aking hinahanap
I thought you were the one I have been looking for
Mali pala iba yata baka lang ay nagkasinat
But I was wrong, it seems it might have just been a coincidence
Kaya naman ako'y nagkamali sa aking pagpili
That's why I made a mistake in my decision-making process
'Di pala ikaw ang nag-iisang nararapat para sa 'kin
Turns out you weren't the only one who was right for me
Akala ko tama na 'to aking ginagawa
I thought what I was doing was right
'Di pala tamang sundin ang feelings ko kaya
But it was actually wrong to follow my feelings
Napaisip, napagana ko muli ang aking utak
It made me think and use my brain again
'Di pala tamang magmadali kasi mapapahamak din
It's not right to rush things because it could lead to harm
Kaya naman
That's why
Makinig ka muna
Listen first
Mabilis lang 'to
This will be quick
Basta 'wag kang magagalit 'pag sinabi kong
Just don't get mad when I say
Sorry sorry na, Katrina
I'm so sorry, Katrina
'Di pala kita mahal
I don't actually love you
Kulang pa ba'ng mga salita na aking sinabi
Have I not said enough?
Ubos na kasi'ng mga salitang lumalabas sa labi
I'm running out of words to say
Okay lang kung 'di mo kailanman ako patatawarin
It's okay if you'll never forgive me
'Di pala nakabubuti ang pramis na 'di natutupad
Breaking a promise doesn't do any good
'Wag ka sanang lumuha, 'di mo kasalanan 'to
Please don't cry, it's not your fault
Mas nakabubuti kung ako na lang ang lalayo
It's better if I'm the one who goes away
