Abot Kamay
Orange and Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sumasabay sa hangin
Sabihin mo sa 'kin
Anong kailangan kong gawin
Upang malapitan mamasdan at mahawakan
Taglay mong kagandahan
Gayumang taglay ng awit
Abot kamay ang langit
Abot kamay ang langit
Haplos na dala ng tinig
Abot kamay ang langit
Nais kong abutin
Kislap ng mga bituin
Sapyo ng umaga sa hardin
Anong kailangan kong gawin
Upang malapitan mamasdan at mahawakan
Taglay mong kagandahan
Abot kamay ang langit
Gayumang taglay ng awit
Abot kamay ang langit
Abot kamay ang langit
Haplos na dala ng tinig
Abot kamay ang langit
The first stanza of "Abot Kamay" by Orange and Lemons talks about stealing glances and going with the flow; a person asking what they need to do to be able to get closer and be able to appreciate the beauty that the other person radiates. It's an invitation to experience the wonder of being with someone that takes your breath away.
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, is all about reaching for the stars, and how it is within reach if one has the desire and willingness to go for it. It speaks about how everything is achievable if one is willing to try, whether it be reaching for the sky or trying to capture the sparkle of the stars. It reminds us to always pursue what we want, even if it seems far away.
Overall, the song is full of longing and aspiration. It invites the listener to experience the beauty all around them and encourages them to strive for their dreams, reminding them that nothing is truly out of reach if they put their hearts and minds into it.

Abot kamay ang langit
The sky is within reach
Gayumang taglay ng awit
Bringing with it a beautiful melody
Haplos na dala ng tinig
Caressing touch of the voice
Nais kong abutin
I want to reach
Kislap ng mga bituin
The sparkle of the stars
Sapyo ng umaga sa hardin
The morning dew in the garden
Abot kamay ang langit
The sky is within reach
Gayumang taglay ng awit
Bringing with it a beautiful melody
Haplos na dala ng tinig
Caressing touch of the voice
Abot kamay ang langit
The sky is within reach
