Huwag Mo Nang Itanong
Eraserheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nang piliting sumabay sa'yo
Hanggang kanto
Ng isipan mong parang sweepstakes
Ang hirap manalo
Ngayon pagdating ko sa bahay
Ibaba ang iyong kilay
Ayoko ng ingay
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
Di ko rin naman sasabihin
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
At di ko na iisipin
Field trip sa may pagawaan ng lapis
Ay katulad ng buhay natin
Isang mahabang pila
Mabagal at walang katuturan
Ewan ko hindi ko alam
Puwede bang huwag na lang
Natin pag-usapan
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
Di ko rin naman sasabihin
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
At di ko na iisipin
Ewan ko hindi ko alam
Puwede bang huwag na lang
Natin pag-usapan
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
Di ko rin naman sasabihin
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
At di ko na iisipin
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
Di ko rin naman sasabihin
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
At di ko na iisipin
Huwag mo na
Huwag mo na
Huwag mo na ha ha
The lyrics of Huwag Mo Nang Itanong by Eraserheads depict someone who is tired of a relationship that has become one-sided. The person has tried to keep up with their partner's mind games, but it has become too much. The opening line, "Hika ang inabot ko nang piliting sumabay sa'yo", means that the person is gasping for air or struggling to catch up with their partner, who has been making things difficult. The person compares their partner's thought process to a sweepstakes, meaning that trying to figure out what their partner wants has become like playing a game of chance. The person feels like they cannot win and is tired of trying.
The second verse talks about a field trip to a pencil factory, which the person compares to their life. They feel like their life is a long, pointless line, much like the line they were in during the field trip. They are tired of trying to make sense of things that seem meaningless. The person ends with pleading with their partner to stop asking them questions because they cannot answer them anymore. This can be interpreted as the person being burnt out and needing a break from the relationship.

Hika ang inabot ko
I’ve been left out of breath
Nang piliting sumabay sa'yo
Trying to keep up with you
Hanggang kanto
All the way to the corner
Ng isipan mong parang sweepstakes
Your mind is as complicated as a sweepstakes
Ang hirap manalo
It’s hard to win
Ngayon pagdating ko sa bahay
Now that I’ve arrived home
Ibaba ang iyong kilay
Lower your eyebrows/don’t be mad
Ayoko ng ingay
I don’t want any noise
Huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
Don’t ask me anymore
Di ko rin naman sasabihin
I won’t tell you anyway
At di ko na iisipin
And I won’t think about it anymore
Field trip sa may pagawaan ng lapis
A field trip to a pencil factory
Ay katulad ng buhay natin
It’s similar to our lives
Isang mahabang pila
A long line
Mabagal at walang katuturan
Slow and meaningless
Ewan ko hindi ko alam
I don’t know
Puwede bang huwag na lang
Can we just not talk about it?
Natin pag-usapan
Let’s just not talk about it
Huwag mo na
Just don’t
Ha ha
Haha
