Diyan Ka Na
Prettier than Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dati-rati ako'y walang imik
Nagpupumilit at puro tiis
Binabale-wala mo pa
Mga pangako mo'y biglang naglaho
Chorus:
Diyan ka na, diyan ka na
Diyan ka na sinta
Paalam na, paalam na
Paalam na sa iyo
Diyan ka na, diyan ka na
Diyan ka na sinta
Ako'y nagising na
Mga mata'y namulat na
Kung wala ka pa
Ayoko na
Sa hating-gabing madilim
Ang puso'y lumuluha pagka't wala ka pa
Uso pa kaya ang tulad ko
Kung marami pa'y bawasan ng isa
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
'Di naman ako naghahanap
Simple lamang ang aking mga pangarap




Repeat Chorus
Fadeout

Overall Meaning

In Prettier than Pink's song Diyan Ka Na, the singer begins by expressing how they used to be passive and willing to suffer, all while constantly pursuing the person they loved. However, they eventually realize that their efforts were in vain, and that the promises made by their lover were nothing more than empty words. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Diyan ka na" (Are you there?), with the singer bidding farewell to their lover and acknowledging that they have woken up to the fact that without them, they cannot continue with the relationship. The second verse communicates the despair the singer feels, their heart sobbing when they find themselves alone at night. The song ends with the bridge, where the singer declares a simple desire for life, and the chorus repeats.


Overall, the song portrays the agony of unrequited love, the struggle to move on, and the realization that sometimes, letting go of someone we love is the only way to strengthen ourselves. The lyrics try to capture the feeling of hopelessness and despair one experiences when they realize that no matter how hard they try, they cannot change someone's heart.


Line by Line Meaning

Dati-rati ako'y walang imik
I used to keep quiet, not speak up


Nagpupumilit at puro tiis
Trying hard and enduring everything


Binabale-wala mo pa
You're still ignoring me


Mga pangako mo'y biglang naglaho
The promises you made suddenly vanished


Diyan ka na, diyan ka na
There you are now


Diyan ka na sinta
My dear, you're there now


Paalam na, paalam na
Goodbye, goodbye


Paalam na sa iyo
I'm saying goodbye to you


Ako'y nagising na
I'm awake now


Mga mata'y namulat na
My eyes are now open


Kung wala ka pa
If you're still not here


Ayoko na
I don't want it anymore


Sa hating-gabing madilim
In the dark of night


Ang puso'y lumuluha pagka't wala ka pa
My heart is crying because you're not here


Uso pa kaya ang tulad ko
Is there still a need for someone like me?


Kung marami pa'y bawasan ng isa
If there are already many, then subtract one


Di naman ako naghahanap
I'm not even looking


Simple lamang ang aking mga pangarap
My dreams are simple
