Mabagal
Moira Dela Torre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Hawak kamay
Pikit mata
Sumasabay sa musika

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Ito na ang kantang hinihintay natin
Ito na ang pagkakataon na sabihin sayo
Ang nararamdaman ng puso ko
Matagal ko nang gustong sabihin ito

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Hawak kamay
Pikit mata
Sumasabay sa musika

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Ilalagay ang iyong kamay sa aking bewang
Isasabay sa tugtog ng kanta ating katawan
At dahan-dahang magdidikit ating mga balat
Matagal ko nang gustong mangyari ito

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Hawak kamay (hawak kamay)
Pikit mata (pikit mata)
Sumasabay sumasabay sa musika
Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal

Pag natapos na (pag natapos na)
Ating kanta (ating kanta)
At wala na ang musika
Kakantahan ka ng acapella sa iyong tenga
At nanamnamin natin
Ang pagsasama

Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal
Hawak kamay
Pikit mata




Sumasabay sa musika
Gusto kitang isayaw nang mabagal

Bro if you want more, I could give you five other titles that are absolutely loved in the Philippine world.
You should write this down.

1.)Mundo by IV of Spades(Wish)
2.)Ikaw Lang by Kiyo.
3.)Buwan by Juan Karlos
4.)Paraluman by Adie
5.) Pagsamo by Arthur Nery

These are the best, mainstream music that I think a neighbor would love.

English: I want to dance with you slowly
I want to dance with you slowly
Holding hands, closed eyes,
In tune with the music
I want to dance with you slowly

Here it comes
The song
We've been waiting for
Here is the chance to
Tell you
What my heart feels
I wanted to tell you for the longest time

I want to dance with you slowly
I want to dance with you slowly
Holding hands, closed eyes,
In tune with the music
I want to dance with you slowly

I'll place your hand on my waist
Our body will be in tune with the song
And our skin will gently touch
I wanted this to happen for the longest time

I want to dance with you slowly
I want to dance with you slowly
Holding hands, closed eyes,
In tune with the music
I want to dance with you slowly

When our song ends
And there's no music
I'll sing you an acapella in your ear
And we'll relish on our time together

I want to dance with you slowly
I want to dance with you slowly
Holding hands, closed eyes,
In tune with the music
I want to dance with you slowly

English translation:

I want to dance with you, slowly
I want to dance with you, slowly
While holding hands
Our eyes closed
Swaying with the music
I want to dance with you, slowly

Here comes the song we've been waiting for
This is my chance to tell you
What my heart feels
I've been waiting to tell you that

I want to dance with you, slowly
I want to dance with you, slowly
While holding hands
Our eyes closed
Swaying with the music
I want to dance with you, slowly

I'll put your hand on my waist
While the song takes over
Our bodies
And slowly our skin will touch
I've been waiting for this moment to come

I want to dance with you, slowly
I want to dance with you, slowly
While holding hands
Our eyes closed
Swaying with the music
I want to dance with you, slowly

If our song (If our song)
Happens to end (Happens to end)
And there's no more music
I'll sing it again to you in acapella
And we'll savour
Our smallest moments

I want to dance with you, slowly
While holding hands
Our eyes closed
Swaying with the music
I want to dance with you slowly

I was on my way to Dagupan kanina.
As usual, nag-jeep ako.
And since favorite spot ko yung pinaka-dulong part ng jeep dun ako lagi naupo.

Tapos sa bandang Saipan, may pumarang lolo, mid 60's I guess. Naka-polo with matching jumper na pants and naka-headset. Umusog agad ako para maka-upo si lolo. So magkatabi kami, and because last seat na yun sa jeep, super siksikan. I smiled at him nung nagka-chance akong maka-eye-to-eye siya.
I always have this fond feeling kasi pagdating sa mga old people, they seem very pure and nice. Then he smiled back.

And though naka-headset siya, rinig na rinig ko parin yung kantang pinapa-tugtog niya.
The lyrics goes this way,
"Hawak kamay,
Pikit mata,
Sumasabay sa musika"
And instantly napangiti ako.
The song was "Mabagal". And I love that song, it's just so nostalgic and calm.

And then lolo spoke, "Ang ganda diba, Ineng?". He must've caught me smiling.
So I answered, "Opo."
"Sayang ngayon lang nagawa tong kanta." There's a mixture of longing ang pain when he said that. And because I was so curious to know I asked him why.
"Magugustuhan sana ni Concepcion, kaya lang hindi ko na siya maisasayaw pa."
Then a tear escape from my eye.
