Sayang
Parokya Ni Edgar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sayang bakit hindi kita niligawan
Ngayon ako'y nanghihinayang
Kasi naman tatanga-tanga pa ako noon
Walang humpay na paghintay sa
Hindi dumarating na pagkakataon

Lagi naman kitang nakakasama
Ewan ko kung bakit ba wala pa ring nagagawa

Kahit na napakadali mong kausapin
Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang hirap pa ring aminin
Madalas naman tayong naglolokohan
Dinadaan ko nalang sa biro ang tunay kong nararamdaman
Kaya siguro hindi mo sineryoso ang aking mga sinabi
'Yan tuloy walang nangyari

Sayang bakit hindi kita niligawan
Ngayon ako'y nanghihinayang
Kasi naman tatanga-tanga pa ako noon
Walang humpay na paghintay na pagkakataon

Kakalipas lamang ng isang sem
Nung makita kita na mayroon ibang kasama
Magkahawak ang inyong mga kamay
Ang dibdib ko ay sumikip
Ang paglunok ko ay naipit
Aking napatunayan na nasa huli ang pagsisisi
Para bang gusto kong umiyak ngunit para saan pa
Wala namang magagawa

Sayang bakit hindi kita niligawan
Ngayon ako'y nanghihinayang
Kasi naman tatanga-tanga pa ako noon
Walang humpay na paghintay sa hindi
Dumarating na pagkakataon

Pagkakataon
Pagkakataon (pagkakataon)

Overall Meaning

The song "Sayang" by Parokya Ni Edgar talks about regret and missed opportunities when it comes to expressing one's love to someone. The first stanza sets the tone for the entire song when the singer expresses regret for not pursuing the person he liked before. He describes himself as "tatanga-tanga pa noon", which means he was foolish or clueless back then. He waited endlessly for the chance to confess his feelings, but that opportunity never came.

The second stanza talks about the relationship between the singer and the person he likes. They are always together, but he hasn't made a move or expressed his true feelings. He jokes around to hide his true emotions, leading the person to not take him seriously. The singer realizes that he may have sabotaged his chances of ever being with the person he liked.

The third stanza is where the regret hits hardest. The singer sees the person he likes with someone else and feels a tightness in his chest. He feels like he wants to cry, but there's no point in doing so because it won't change anything. The song ends with the repeated plea of "sayang", which means "what a waste" in English. The singer laments the missed opportunity and can only wallow in regret for not taking action sooner.

Sayang bakit hindi kita niligawan
Regretting not courting you

Ngayon ako'y nanghihinayang
Feeling sorry for myself now

Kasi naman tatanga-tanga pa ako noon
Because I was foolish back then

Walang humpay na paghintay sa
Endless waiting for a

Hindi dumarating na pagkakataon
Chance that never comes

Lagi naman kitang nakakasama
I'm always with you

Ewan ko kung bakit ba wala pa ring nagagawa
I don't know why I haven't done anything yet

Kahit na napakadali mong kausapin
Even though you're so easy to talk to

Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang hirap pa ring aminin
I don't know why it's still difficult to confess

Madalas naman tayong naglolokohan
We often fool around

Dinadaan ko nalang sa biro ang tunay kong nararamdaman
I just turn my true feelings into jokes

Kaya siguro hindi mo sineryoso ang aking mga sinabi
Maybe that's why you didn't take my words seriously

'Yan tuloy walang nangyari
That's why nothing happened

Kakalipas lamang ng isang sem
Just a semester ago

Nung makita kita na mayroon ibang kasama
When I saw you with someone else

Magkahawak ang inyong mga kamay
Holding each other's hands

Ang dibdib ko ay sumikip
My chest tightened

Ang paglunok ko ay naipit
My throat felt constricted

Aking napatunayan na nasa huli ang pagsisisi
I realized that regret comes too late

Para bang gusto kong umiyak ngunit para saan pa
It's like I want to cry, but what's the use

Wala namang magagawa
There's nothing that can be done
