Nais Ko
Christian Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Di mapigil ang saya na tayo'y magkikita
Kailan lang nang tayo'y nagkakilala
Tinginan mo nga naman, ngayon ay ka-barkada
Ka-kuwentuhan ng kung anu-ano
Ka jamming sa mga awiting uso
Ka halakhakan at ka-biruan
Nais ko ay makasama ka
Ka-hati sa walang hanggang ligaya
Ka-tawanan magmula umaga
Ako'y nasasabik sa bawat araw
Dahil ka-piling ko ay laging ikaw
Salamat at nakilala ka
Salamat sa araw na tayo'y nagkita
Umaga man, tanghali o gabi
Natutuwa akong makita kang muli
Nais ko ay makasama ka
Ka-hati sa walang hanggang ligaya
Ka-tawanan magmula umaga
Ako'y nasasabik sa bawat araw
Dahil ka-piling ko ay laging ikaw
Dahil ka-piling ko ay laging ikaw
