Daraan Lamang
Cooky Chua Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Di ko inakala na aabot sa dulo na magwawakas yaring pag ibig mo
Parang isang awit
Minsa'y parang langit
Minsan mayroon din ligaya at pait
May lambing ang himig
May tamis ang titig
Ay wala pa rin ang tinig

Mayroong hangganan
Mayroong katapusan
Akalay aabot kailanman
Pag ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang

Dati laging nariyan
At inaawitan
Ng pusong akalang di ka bibitawan
Aking natutuhan ang ikay hayaan at tatanggaping di tayo kailanman

May lambing ang himig
May tamis ang titig
Ay wala pa rin ang tinig

Mayroong hangganan
Mayroong katapusan
Akalay aabot kailanman
Pag ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang

Mayroong hangganan
Mayroong katapusan
Akalay aabot kailanman
Pag ibig mo pala'y daraan lamang

Mayroong hangganan
Mayroong katapusan
Akalay aabot kailanman

Pag ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang
Pag ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang

Overall Meaning

The song "Daraan Lamang" by Cooky Chua talks about the transient nature of love. The lyrics describe how unexpected it was to reach the end of a love story that was thought to be a never-ending fairytale. The first verse compares love to a song with different emotions, feelings, and expressions. There are moments of happiness and sweetness, but also bitterness and sadness. The melody and the gaze might be filled with love and tenderness, but sometimes words fail to express what the heart wants to say.

The chorus of the song reveals the message that nothing lasts forever. Love, like anything else, has an endpoint in life. Even though the feelings continue to exist, the relationship might not, and the memory of the person loved might fade away with time. The second verse describes the singer's emotional state when it was hard to let go of the person loved. She learned to accept that some things are beyond control and that it's necessary to move forward in life.

Overall, "Daraan Lamang" is a heart-wrenching song that depicts the complexity of love and how it can come and go out of our lives so suddenly. The song's lyrics teach us to cherish every moment that we spend with our loved ones and to appreciate the love given to us while it lasts.

Di ko inakala na aabot sa dulo na magwawakas yaring pag ibig mo
I never thought that this love of ours would come to an end

Parang isang awit
It's like a song

Minsa'y parang langit
Sometimes it feels like heaven

Minsan mayroon din ligaya at pait
Sometimes there's joy, sometimes there's pain

May lambing ang himig
The melody is sweet

May tamis ang titig
The gaze is sweet

Ay wala pa rin ang tinig
But the voice is still missing

Mayroong hangganan
There's a limit

Mayroong katapusan
There's an end

Akalay aabot kailanman
I thought it would last forever

Pag ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang
But it turns out your love will just pass by
