First Kiss
Mandaue Nights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ka usa ra
Ning mahitabo natong duha
Duha duha
Ning mga kamot nga di mahaluna
Kung di kakupot
Bugnaw na akong singot
Dila ray way labod
Ning kalaki nato
Ning kalaki nato

Ka usa ra
Kong magpaluag sa akong kalag
Ug maabtag hayag
Aw maayong buntag

Nganong palabyon ning
Talagsaon nga higayon
Kung hinay-hinayon

Unsay kalaki nato
'Say kalaki nato
Unsay kalaki nato
'Say kalaki nato

Kulba kulba
Kung mahutdag oras
Himaya way puas
Paundayonan

Nganong palabyon ning
Talagsaon nga higayon
Kung hinay-hinayon

Unsay kalaki nato
'Say kalaki nato
Unsay kalaki nato
'Say kalaki nato
Unsay kalaki nato (Ka usa ra)
'Say kalaki nato (Ning mahitabo natong duha)
Unsay kalaki nato (Ka usa ra)
'Say kalaki nato (Kong magpaluag sa akong kalag)

Ka usa ra
Ning mahitabo natong duha




Ka usa ra
Una, ug di na ma utro pa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mandaue Nights' song "First Kiss" depict a moment shared between two individuals. The first verse describes the physical distance between the two, with their hands almost touching but not quite, and the singer's breath being cold. The repetition of the phrase "ning kalaki nato" emphasizes the significance of this moment and the potential for it to have an impact on their lives.


The chorus asks the question "Unsay kalaki nato," or what is our size? This could be interpreted in a couple of ways, such as asking what significance this moment holds for them, or questioning the impact of their actions on the larger scale of things. The lyrics continue to express a sense of fear or uncertainty, with the singer feeling "kulba kulba" or nervous, and questioning why this rare opportunity to connect should be rushed.

Ka usa ra
Only one time


Ning mahitabo natong duha
When it happens to the two of us


Duha duha
Two by two


Ning mga kamot nga di mahaluna
Hands that don't let go


Kung di kakupot
If not holding tight


Bugnaw na akong singot
My breath is cold


Dila ray way labod
Tongue without rest


Ning kalaki nato
Our size


Ka usa ra
Only one time


Kong magpaluag sa akong kalag
When my soul is set free


Ug maabtag hayag
And light shines


Aw maayong buntag
Good morning


Nganong palabyon ning
Why let this


Talagsaon nga higayon
Rare opportunity


Kung hinay-hinayon
Be slow-paced?


Unsay kalaki nato
What's our size?


'Say kalaki nato
That's our size.


Kulba kulba
Anxiety


Kung mahutdag oras
If time drags on


Himaya way puas
No satisfaction in praise


Paundayonan
Will continue


Ka usa ra
Only one time


Una, ug di na ma utro pa
First, and cannot be repeated

well... 6 years ago she used to be my crush, but somewhere down the line I fell for her... hard.
last year before the pandemic she broke up with her boyfriend and came to me, she was talking to me all he time showering all her attention, she used to trust me so much and she was such a good friend, a literal blessing not gonna lie, the universe finally saw me and decided to fulfill one of my dreams and I am really happy it happened...

but in late 2020 one of my friends was struggling with his own problems, the girl he loved had blocked him, I was helping him move on and told him to take her help as well, "she's a great person she will help you"
then things happened, they became close... then she... started to give him more attention than me and that made me insecure and cause unnecessary drama, but earlier when I used to overthink she used console me that everything was okay but now.... she didn't... and instead started to avoid me completely and then... I used to hear about my friend walking with her, she not replying to my text meanwhile talking to him till late at night, touching him casually, listening to his problems from me when he didn't tell her, meanwhile completely ignoring mine....

I really miss her.
his song first showed up in my feed when I saw her 7 years ago. reminds me of her, I wish you a very happy journey love and well maybe the universe knew that, I was not fit for you or I couldn't make you as much as happy as he could, but I still love you for who you are and I understand I became a problem to be around, I needed a second chance, even I settled to be just friends to keep you in my life. cause the truth is, I can't leave you no matter what happens.
thank you mandue nights for making this gem. thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I thought I'd never find this song ever. I heard it sa isang cafΓ© sa Cebu and Shazam couldn't give me an answer kasi nga Bisaya song siya. I even asked the barista pero di din daw nya alam. Tonight, the stars aligned and it appeared in my Spotify recommendations. Di ko pa din gets lyrics though. πŸ˜‚

City pop gyud kaayo ug genre ayp!

I'm happy that there are Cebuano artists like you that are venturing in this kind of genre kay sa Japan ug Korea gasikat ug balik ang ing-ani na style na genre πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

@Charmwanderess
