I
Ang paghihirap mo'y nakita ko no'ng siya'y kapiling pa, ngunit hindi ko magawang lapitan at kausapin ka. Ang pagdurusa mo ay tila akin ding nadarama, ngunit wala akong lakas na kunin ka
Ii
At di nga nagtagal tuluyan ding ika'y nilisan niya, laking pasasalamat ko dahil ika'y malaya na, sinabi ko noon sa 'yo kapag ako'y kailangan na tawagan lang ako't pupuntahan kita
Chorus
(repeat ii & chorus 2x)
The song "Kapag Ako'y Kailangan" by Mark Bautista is a poignant and emotional ballad about the pain of seeing someone you care for suffer and being unable to help them. The first verse speaks of the singer's experience of seeing the person he cares for with someone else and feeling unable to approach them or communicate with them. He empathizes with their suffering but finds himself unable to alleviate it.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the fact that the person he cares for has since left the person they were with, and he expresses gratitude that they are now free. He reminds the person that he had previously offered his support and assistance, and he continues to be there for them whenever they need him.
The chorus is a repeated reassurance that the person can always count on the singer's support and presence, and that they no longer need to suffer alone. The entire song is a heartfelt expression of empathy, compassion, and enduring love.
