Dahilan
Barbie Almalbis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pati address at telepono
Sa daming kuwentong umiikot
Alam ko na rin ang ayaw mo
Ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan kun di rin lang ikaw
Ang dahilan
(music)
Magkasama hanggang hating gabi
Di' bale na kung anong sabihin nila
Habang buhay magkatabi
ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang matagpuan
Ang pag-ibig ko ay walang saysay
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
binabasa kita
Malapit nang magkita
Isinusuri ko ang mga letra
Ohhhhhhhh...ohhhhh..oohhhhh.....ohhhhhh....
(music)
ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang katapusan
Ang pag-ibig ko ay walang saysay
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Ohhhh........ohhhhhhh......ohhhh.....ohhhhhh........
END
The Barbie Almalbis song Dahilan speaks about knowing someone's details and preferences but realizing that all of it does not matter unless the person is the reason for everything. It talks about memories of spending time with someone and not minding what others say as they will always be together. However, nothing else has any significance unless that person is found. The chorus states that without that person, everything is meaningless, including love.
The song depicts a deep and sincere attachment between two people, and the lyrics are powerful in conveying this message. The stanza about going through the trouble of studying the lyrics suggests the depth of the singer's emotion for the person she is addressing. Through the song, the singer is declaring that the one who is the reason for all her affection is the most significant and the most meaningful thing in her life.

Alam ko na ang pangalan mo
I know your name
Pati address at telepono
Your address and phone number, too
Sa daming kuwentong umiikot
In the many stories circulating
Alam ko na rin ang ayaw mo
I also know your dislikes
Ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan kun di rin lang ikaw
But all of this means nothing if it is not you
Ang dahilan
The reason
naalala ko ang dati
I remember the past
Magkasama hanggang hating gabi
Together until late at night
Di' bale na kung anong sabihin nila
Regardless of what they say
Habang buhay magkatabi
We'll be together for life
ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan
But all of this means nothing
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang matagpuan
If it is not you I found
Ang pag-ibig ko ay walang saysay
My love is meaningless
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
If you are not the reason
binabasa kita
I am reading you
Malapit nang magkita
We will soon meet
Isinusuri ko ang mga letra
I am scrutinizing the lyrics
Ohhhhhhhh...ohhhhh..oohhhhh.....ohhhhhh....
Ohhhhhhhh...ohhhhh..oohhhhh.....ohhhhhh....
ngunit lahat ng ito ay walang kahulugan
But all of this means nothing
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang katapusan
If you are not the end
Ang pag-ibig ko ay walang saysay
My love is meaningless
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
If you are not the reason
Kundi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
If you are not the reason
Ohhhh........ohhhhhhh......ohhhh.....ohhhhhh........
Ohhhh........ohhhhhhh......ohhhh.....ohhhhhh........
