Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

KJ productions (oh yeah)

Merong bumihag sa aking mata
Sa tagal ng panahon ngayon nagkita
Kutis niya pa lang nakakaakit na isa siyang dalaga na morena
Hindi na magdadalawang isip pa na lapitan ka at makasama
Dinaig mo pa mga artista isa kang dalaga na morena

Babaeng kulay ay sadyang katangi-tangi
Ma-aatract ka talaga sa kutis niyang kayumanggi
Lalo na pag nasikatan siya ni haring araw
Mga kalalakihan ay nabubulahaw sa
Mga simple mong galaw totoong lumilitaw
Ang magandang babae na nag iisang ikaw walang katulad
Nag-iisang dalagang pilipina sa akin kuminang ka ng aking makita

Ang magandang panloob at panlabas na anyo ang pag ibig ko sayo na kay
Tagal kong binuo di na ako nakaiwas sa pana ni kupido kaya ngayon ang
Tulad ko ay parang istupido yeah merong bumihag

Sa aking mata sa tagal ng panahon ngayon nagkita
Kutis niya pa lang nakakaakit na
Isa siyang dalaga na morena
Hindi na magdadalawang isip pa
Na lapitan ka at makasama
Dinaig mo pa mga artista isa siyang dalaga na morena

Napakaganda naman ng kutis mo meron ka bang tinatagong sikreto
Kaya lahat ng lalaki sa mundo
Ay kay bilis na na-aakit sayo
Wala kong pake kahit may issue sayo
Dahil mananatili parin ang pag-ibig ko sayo

Merong bumihag sa aking mata
Sa tagal ng panahon ngayon nagkita
Kutis niya pa lang nakakaakit na isa siyang dalaga na morena (morena)
Hindi na magdadalawang isip pa (dalaga na morena)

Na lapitan ka at makasama
Dinaig mo pa mga artista isa siyang dalaga na morena
