Bakit?
Cooky Chua Lyrics

bakit... hinahanap ka...
Why... are you being searched for?

bakit tinatawag ang iyong pangalan
Why is your name being called?

nang una kitang makita sa may ermita
When I first saw you in the chapel

hindi ko na namalayan kung bakit
I didn't realize why

na para bang ako'y naakit
It's like I was drawn to you

ng ika'y lumapit
when you approached me

tinanong ko ang iyong pangalan at ang yong telepono
I asked for your name and phone number

pero sabi mo
but you said

di mo kinakausap ang mga tulad kong walang pera
you don't talk to people like me who have no money

walng kotse't di doble doble ang cell
no car and no fancy cellphone

pero teka muna miss
but wait a minute miss

wag kang mabilis lumakad
don't walk too fast

di naman ako manyakis
I am not a pervert

at walang labis, walang kulang
nothing more, nothing less

ang sinukli ko sayo
what I gave you in return

balot! eto pa cge, dalhin mo na lang sa inyo
here wrapped, please take it home

kahit na wala akong kitain, walang makain
even though I have nothing to earn, nothing to eat

basta't alam mo lang kung gaano kahalaga sa akin
as long as you know how important you are to me

ang ikaw ay mapaglingkuran at mapagsilbihan
that you deserve to be served and taken care of

ipagpatawad mo sana, ako man ay naguguluhan
Please forgive me, I'm confused

sa loob ng aking kwarto
inside my room

o sa loob ng aking banyo
or inside my bathroom

kung alam mo lang ang dami ng mga litrato
If you only knew how many photos

inunan ko pa sa may kanto at pinakuwadro ko pa
I had framed and hung on the corner

nang sa gaoon ay lagi tayong magkasama
when we were always together like that

araw man o gabi kahit sandali
day or night, even just for a moment

sa hirap man o ginhawa ikaw at ako magpakailanman
in difficulties or in good times, forever you and me

na para bang mga palabas sa sine
like a movie

alam mo na para bang imposible
you already know it seems impossible

pero pwede ka bang mailibre sa kanto
can I treat you to a free snack in the corner?

ng lugaw, palamig, siomai o siopao
rice porridge, cold drinks, dumplings or steamed buns

baka pwede wag kang masyadong matakaw
maybe you should not eat too much

sige na nga pero pwede bang dumalaw...
alright, but can I visit...

pagmamahal ko sana ay tanggapin mo
I hope you accept my love

pero kung itataboy mo ay ikamamatay, ikamamatay ko
but if you reject me, I'll die, I'll die

siguro naman, ngayon ay nadarama mo na
maybe now you're starting to feel

kung gaano kawagas ang aking pag-ibig
how deep my love is

simula sa laman hanggang sa litid
from my flesh to my bones

kailaliman ay sinisisid
diving deep

pero bakit ginamit puro luha at pasakit
but why is it full of tears and pain

makalipas ang mahabang panahon ng aking pagmamahal
after a long period of my loving you

ay napalitan ng galit
replaced by anger

nang nakita kita na may kasama kang iba
when I saw you with someone else

may dala-dala pa naman akong regalo
I even had a present with me

matagal kong pinag-ipunan
I saved up for a long time

kinuha ko sa alkansya
I took it out of my piggy bank

naglalakad habang lumuluha tinititigan ang lupa
walking while crying, looking at the ground

sinungaling ang mga baraha na tinanong
the cards I asked were lying

hindi naman natupad ang kanilang mga hula
their prophecies didn't come true

wala ng dahilan para mabuhay
there's no reason to live

naging abo, wala ng kulay
became ashes, without color

akala ko nung una, tayo ng dalawa
I thought at first, we were the two of us

ilang taon din naman kong naghintay
after all, I waited for years

paalam na aking mahal, ako ay di na magtatagal
farewell my love, I won't last long

at tangi ang iyong pagbalik
and your return is all I pray for

ang siyang aking ipagdarasal, ipagdarasal...
that's what I'm going to pray for, pray for...
