Hanggang Hi Hello
Darren Espanto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

HANGGANG HI HELLO

Hindi ko alam
kung anong sasabihin sayo
Basta't ako'y natulala

Gusto ko mang lumapit sa iyo
Ako nama'y nahihiya

At sana'y balang araw
Ikaw na ang kasama habang buhay

Hanggang hi hello nalang ba ako
O may pag-asa pa sayo?
Mundo ko'y nagbago
Ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko.

Panaginip lamang ba ito
Nanginginig na talaga ang tuhod ko
At sana'y sabihin mong mahal ko rin ako
mahal mo rin ako
mahal mo rin ako
mahal mo rin ako

Crush nga ba yon o puppy love?
Tuwing kasama ka'y parang mahihimatay
Isang ngiti mo ay naging makulay ang mundo
At sana'y magustuhan mo rin ako
At sana'y balang araw
Ikaw na ang kasama habang buhay

Hanggang hi hello nalang ba ako
O may pag-asa pa sayo?
Mundo ko'y nagbago
Ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko.

Panaginip lamang ba ito
Nanginginig na talaga ang tuhod ko
At sana'y sabihin mong mahal ko rin ako
mahal mo rin ako
mahal mo rin ako
mahal mo rin ako
sabihin mong mahal ko rin ako
mahal mo rin ako

mahal mo rin ako
mahal mo rin ako

Overall Meaning

Darren Espanto's song "Hanggang Hi Hello" depicts a person's struggle to express their love to someone they admire. The lyrics convey the character's hesitance in confessing how they feel about the other person. The first line of the song, "Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin sayo, basta't ako'y natulala," highlights the character's feelings of being lost for words and enraptured by the person. Though the character wants to come closer to the other person, they are held back by shyness, hoping the other person will notice their affection.

The repeated phrase "Hanggang hi hello nalang ba ako, o may pag-asa pa sayo?" expresses the character's fear of being friend-zoned and not having another chance to pursue a romantic relationship. This fear is expressed when the character asks if saying "hi hello" is all they are good for or if there is still hope for them to be together.

The song's acknowledgment of puppy love and its effect on someone is relatable, and the hope for the love to be reciprocated is universal. The feelings of wanting to be seen and loved by the person you admire are relatable to the audience, which is why the song can resonate with anyone who has ever had a crush.

Line by Line Meaning

Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin sayo
I don't know what to say to you

Basta't ako'y natulala
I'm just left speechless

Gusto ko mang lumapit sa iyo
I want to approach you

Ako nama'y nahihiya
But I'm feeling shy

At sana'y balang araw, Ikaw na ang kasama habang buhay
And hopefully someday, you'll be the one beside me for life

Hanggang hi hello nalang ba ako
Is our relationship only limited to greetings?

O may pag-asa pa sayo?
Or is there still hope for us?

Mundo ko'y nagbago
My world has changed

Ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko
The beating of my heart is so strong

Panaginip lamang ba ito
Is this just a dream?

Nanginginig na talaga ang tuhod ko
My knees are really trembling

At sana'y sabihin mong mahal ko rin ako
And hopefully you'll say that you love me too

mahal mo rin ako, mahal mo rin ako, mahal mo rin ako
You love me too, you love me too, you love me too

Crush nga ba yon o puppy love?
Was it just a crush or was it puppy love?

Tuwing kasama ka'y parang mahihimatay
Whenever I'm with you, I feel like I'm about to faint

Isang ngiti mo ay naging makulay ang mundo
Your smile has brought color to my world

At sana'y magustuhan mo rin ako
And hopefully you'll also like me

sabihin mong mahal ko rin ako, mahal mo rin ako, mahal mo rin ako, mahal mo rin ako
Say that you love me too, you love me too, you love me too, you love me too
