Patawad Paalam
Moira Dela Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Di ba 'yon naman ang 'yong ginusto
Simula pa no'n kahit hanggang ngayon
Lahat ng daan ay pabalik sa'yo
Balang araw ay makikita mong
'Di kailangan lumayo
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Paalam
Kahit nasa'n ka man
Nariyan pa ba ang pinangarap ko
Na aking tinalikuran para mabuo
Bakit ganon kahit sa'n lumingon
Lahat ng daan ay pabalik sa'yo
Balang araw ay makikita mong
'Di kailangan lumayo
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Patawad
Paalam
Kahit nasa'n ka man
Oh oh oh
Nahanap nga sarili mo
Nawala naman ako
Masisisisi mo pa ba
Kung ako'y sususuko na
Hindi mo man mapakinggan
Ang aking mga dahilan
Ma-itatanggi mo bang
Mahal na mahal kita
Sa aking paglayag
Tiyak ika'y masasaktan
Hangad ko'y maintindihan
'Di maintindihan
Na sa tamang panahon
Hinding-hindi na iiwan
Kung 'yong pagbibigyan muli
'Di kayang pagbigyang muli
Kahit anong gawin
'Di na mababalik ang dati
Paalam salamat
Salamat sa lahat
Balang araw ay makikita mo
'Di na sana lumayo ('di ka sana lumayo)
Kung paglisan lang ang dahilan
Sa ating hangganan
Ikaw pa rin sana
The song "Patawad Paalam" by Moira Dela Torre speaks of regret, forgiveness, and the hope of reconciliation. The opening lines "Nakakatulong ba nung lumayo ako, 'Di ba 'yon naman ang 'yong ginusto" give a sense of the singer's inner turmoil and the weight of responsibility they feel for having distanced themselves from a loved one. While the singer might have thought distancing themselves was what the other person wanted, they realize that every road leads back to that person. The chorus speaks of the anguish of having to say goodbye, asking for forgiveness, but also acknowledging the necessity of leaving. The second verse mentions the dream that the singer left behind, and the fact that no matter where they look, all roads lead back to the person they left. The third verse is a plea to the other person, reminding them that the singer still loves them, even if they can't understand the reasons for the distance.
The song is described as a "delayed goodbye song" as it is a song about closing up a part of their life in order to move on. It was written and composed by Moira dela Torre herself, along with her close collaborator Jason Hernandez. The song was released in November 2019 along with an official music video directed by Niq Ablao.

"Talo na ako"
Dati tatawa-tawa lang ako kapag nag aaway kami, nag tatalo o hindi mag kaintindihan tapos nung sinasabi ng iba na "maghihiwalay din kayo".
Di ako naniwala.
Kase may tiwala ako sa salitang "mahal nya naman ako, di na nya ako iiwan"
nagbulag-bulagan ako, napapagod na pala sya. Hindi ko siniseryoso ang away, unti-unti na syang pinanghihinaan ng loob.
Nakakatulugan ko ang bawat gabing pag-tatalo, unti-unti nyang minumulat ang mga mata nya sa katotohanan. Buo pa ako noon pero sya paubos na.
Di ko namalayan, akala ko matatag sya pero di na nya kinaya.
Nagulat ako sa biglaang pagsuko nya.
Nagtaka, napaisip, nagtanong kung bakit sya sumuko.
Naalala ko lahat, lahat ng pagbabalewala ko sa kanya. Kahit sa maliliit na bagay. Nakasanayan nya ung mga magagandang bagay nanagawa ko noon na hindi ko na ginagawa ngayon...
Kahit sa maliliit na bagay.
"Nawalan ako ng ganang gawin ang mga yun para sa kanya."
Pero noon pala umaasa sya...
Umaasa sya "na sana bumalik ang dating init ng pagmamahal at pagsuyo ko noon"..
Pero di na nya kinayang mag hintay. Pagod na sya at di ko nakita ang senyales noon. Sumuko sya di dahil ayaw nya na.
"Sumuko sya dahil alam nya kung ano ang tama. Para sa aming dalawa."
Ngayon lagi akong tulala. Sya panay post ng mga magagandang larawan ng bago nyang minamahal. Talo ako. Kase nabalik ng bago nya ung dati nyang ngiti.
Mali, hinigitan pa nya.
Masaya ako para sa kanila. Titingin nalang muna ako sa mga larawan nila. Baka balang araw ako naman din ang ngingiti gaya ng sa kanya..
..o baka hindi na.
Sinayang ko yung taong totoong nagmahal sakin.
"Talo na ako."

It's amazing how you can write two situations in one song.
Patawad:
Patawad kasi kelangan kong lumayo.
Patawad kasi kelangan kong mabuo.
Patawad kasi akala ko maiintindihan mo.
Patawad kasi akala ko mahihintay mo ko.
Patawad kasi napagod ka na.
Patawad pero mahal na mahal lang naman kita.
Paalam. Salamat.
Paalam:
Paalam kasi akala ko ito ang kelangan mo.
Paalam kasi akala ko yun ang gusto mo.
Paalam at sana maintindihan mo.
Paalam kasi napagod na ako.
Paalam at ako'y susuko na.
Paalam pero alam mong mahal na mahal kita.
Patawad. Salamat.
One day, the universe will bring you to the one you're destined to.
Even if that person hurts you the most.
Even if that person cuts you the most.
Because the universe know that you'll still choose love.
And love will heal you.

Read till the end.
I'm not really fond of listening to any songs lately but something pushed me to click the play button and listen to this one: "Patawad, paalam." By Moira and I belong to the zoo.
And then I wondered how did they come up with the title "Patawad, paalam"? Why didn't they go for "Paalam, patawad" instead? Would that make any difference?
Ah yes. I've been so bored lately that I tend to ask myself a lot of silly questions and then look for an answer just to keep my brain working but this one's by far the most worth sharing. It's quite long tho so I'm asking for forbearance.
"Patawad, paalam"
It's a sad song, atleast that's what I thought but to my surprise this song just made me so happy and proud of myself like never before.
Indeed, one song is capable of bringing back a thousand memories,
I was smiling like an idiot while listening to it. I remember saying these words "Patawad" and "Paalam" countless times before. Not just to someone, but also to my old self, to my old way of life, and to my past, in general.
Though, I didn't know which of them should go first or if that even matter, all I ever wanted to do is to let go.
And I thought I would never make it. I thought holding on is always the right thing to do and not giving up is much easier than letting go. I just need to keep on trying
So I tried and tried until I finally got to ask myself,
What do you do after you've given all that you have and you have nothing left to give? After you've tried and you've tried, and you've cried and you cried, and that day finally comes when you realize that this is not how you want to live your life. What do you do?
And I knew the answer to that — let go.
But how do I let go?
In my own thoughts, I said "you say good bye"
So I decided to say good bye to everyone and everything to overcome the pain. I thought that was enough and already got the point but things just don't really get solved by that. They come together for a time and then they fall back apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. It became a cycle which made me realize that something's wrong or something's missing.
What is it? What is in this wind? What is this storm trying to tell me?
Honestly, I had the idea but I kept on denying it that time. I consciously missed the most vital and said to be the first step of letting go, which is to FORGIVE and ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
I didn't want to forgive them and I didn't know how to ask for forgiveness to others and to myself more so.. I thought I don't need to do it. I thought keeping the hatred burning in me will push me to keep going. Little did I know, it was the heaviness of hatred that made my life even more unbearable.
It took me a long time to understand what it means to forgive. And after a lot of soul searching, I realized that forgiveness is the greatest form of strength. And that very strength you got from forgiving yourself and others are what you will need to let go fully.
So I eventually forgave what I couldn't forget and that's when miracles started coming into my sight about a year ago, which made me smile thinking about that now cause who would have thought!? I made it yo!!!
This song just reminded me that you can't expect to be fine after saying goodbye to the things that hurt you without forgiving what has hurt you first. No matter how you slice it, it will just haunt you over and over again. Believe me, been there.
"Let go" —2 words with 5 letters. Sounds so simple. Wished it was that easy, but it will never be. However, once you did it, only then you can truly be happy and free.
So why not "Paalam, patawad"?
I found the answer to that!
They made the right choice for going with "Patawad, paalam" and it can never be the other way around
—dahil bago mo maramdaman ang totoong kahulugan at kalayaan kasunod ng bawat "paalam", kailangan mo muna bigkasin ang salitang "patawad" at matutong magbigay ng kapatawaran.
And that's how my version of "patawad, paalam" ends.

I remember my first love, 'twas when we were high schoolers (2010-2014). He was my textmate (1st yr) , became classmates(2nd yr) then friends and later best friends. We were born on the same day and year. In fact, minutes lang ang pagitan namin😂. I was desperately believing he was the one God made for me dahil we were deeply in loved kahit walang label hahaha 😂
It was like a fairytail for me (i even made a diary of our good and bad memories) and he even wrote our names at the tree beside our school and marked as our meeting place and told me na kahit dumaan ang maraming taon our names won't fade kasi nga raw nakaukit na sa kahoy (i was touched, marupok eh) . Ung feeling na alam mong mahal ka talaga dahil sa mga pinapakita niya sayo. We dreamed together para sa future namin. It was almost perfect until nung nabasa ko mismo sa cp ng girl (new classmate) ang convo nila n bespren na may 'beh' na mga tawagan. Ang sakit lang na parang durog na durog ako kasi tama mga hinala ko sa kanila even pa nung pagiging clingy ng girl sa kanya,sabagay best friend lang naman ako. Kahit sobrang sakit na halos every night ako umiiyak, araw2 akong nasasaktan dahil araw2 ko silang nakikita sa classroom na sweet pa sa chocolates, habang ako natutunaw sa sobrang sakit, 2yrs akong paulit ulit na nasasaktan hanggang sa graduating na kami. umaasa parin ako sa sinabi nyang liligawan niya ako after graduation (ewan kung sa highschool o college ba basta umasa lang ako).pero nung graduation na, wala namang nangyari. One night i prayed, gusto ko nang bumitaw sa sobrang sakit, i begged God to heal me and forget how i felt for him. I prayed na sana hindi ko na sya makita kasi everytime nakikita ko siya, nasasaktan ako.
Fortunately, we went to different schools, inaaliw ko sarili ko to avoid him and the pain. I even tried to like somebody kahit di pako nka move on just to forget everything about him.
Then one day, i stopped texting him at feel niyang cold na ako sa kanya. I just suddenly ignored him, walang paalam, walang patawad. Pinili kong lumayo dahil kung talagang mahal mo hindi ka dapat nasasaktan nang sobra sobra. Un lang iniisip ko palagi.
Couple of Months later, nabalitaan kong nagka jowa na sya (nagkajowa din naman ako) , at sobra dw syang nasaktan sa ginawa ko. Nakonsensya din ako sa ginawa ko at na guguilty at the same time kasi dko mn lang inexplain sa kanya lahat, like bigla lang akong naglaho. We didn't talked for almost 3yrs (i think) but we're good now. He already achieved his dreamed at ako kakagraduate ko lang din. Both nka moved on at may kanya2 ng buhay. He's happy now with her new girlfriend and i'm happily married to the man na pinalit ko sa kanya😊. That's all. Thanks for reading😁😄

Daming nagsasabi na ang NANG IWAN ang may kasalanan without knowing na sobra nang nasasaktan yung nang iwan. I felt so bad kasi iniwan ko yung taong minahal ko ng sobra, may kasalanan siyang nagawa pero napatawad ko siya. Nang dahil sa pagpapatawad ko nafeel ko na pwede pa pala. Until napagod nalang ako bigla, di ko na ramdam yung love. Feeling ko naabuso na yung pagpapatawad ko, yung palagi kong pag intintindi. Then one night, umiyak ako sa Lord, praying na pagtibayin pa niya yung relationship namin pero si Lord na ang nagbigay ng way para itigil ko na kasi pagod na yung puso kong umintindi. Yung way ng pagheal ng Lord sa Heart ko is yung pagpahingahin ako sa pagmamahal.
Patawad kung kailangan kong iheal ang sarili ko na si Lord ang kasama.
Patawad kasi bumitaw ako sa pangako ko.
Patawad kasi kinailangan kong magpahinga sa nakakapagod na sitwasyon.
Paalam sa pangakong binitawan kapalit ng sarili.
💔+🙏=😊

Kala ko pangmatagalan na
Yun pala ay hindi na
Sinabi mo saakin na di ka karapat dapat para saakin na sobra dinurog ang puso ko na kala ko ay buo na
Nasaktan ako ng sobra
Namiss kita ng sobra
Pero unti unti ay nawala na
Ang damdamin ko para sayo
Na sinayang mo ng sobra
Minahal kita
Pero bumalik ka
Pero sabi ko wala na
Dun ka bumalik kung kelan wala na
Kung sana
Di mo inisip yon
Edi sana tayo pa
Hindi mo alam ang naranasan ko nung nawala ka
Pero wala na talaga
Kaya sana mapatawad mo ako sa mga pagkukulang ko sayo
At paalam nasa taong minahal ko ng sobra
Salamat sa limang taon nating pagsasama

Sorry dahil di nyo maiintindihan to pero galing ito sa puso ko
Sana i like nyo ito

"Patawad, Paalam"
Nakatulong ba nung lumayo ako
'Di ba 'yon naman ang 'yong ginusto
Simula pa no'n, kahit hanggang ngayon
Lahat ng daan ay pabalik sa'yo
Balang araw ay makikita mong
'Di kailangan lumayo
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Patawad
Paalam
Kahit nasa'n ka man
Nariyan pa ba ang pinangarap ko

'Di kailangan lumayo

Oooh oooh oooh

Masisisi mo pa ba
Kung ako'y susuko na
Hindi mo man mapakinggan
Ang aking mga dahilan
Maitatanggi mo bang
Mahal na mahal kita
Sa aking paglayag
Tiyak ika'y masasaktan
Hangad ko'y maintindihan
