May Kasalanan
Rivermaya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

May kasalanan ka sa akin
Bigla ka lang nawala iniwan mo akong magisa
Di bat nangako ka sa akin na di mo sasaktan
Ang pusong sugatan, ano yan?

oh. wag mo lang sabihin (na di ko kaya to)
Ang mabuhay ng sarili.(na wala sa piling mo)
oh oh... woh.
Kailan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo?

Ilang umaga ng lumipas
Mahal pa rin kita, di ko malimulimut ang saya
Sanay sinabi mo sa akin
Na may iba ka na pala
Nagmukha akong tanga
(repeat twice)




la la la. la la la la la.
Kailan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo?

May kasalanan ka sa akin
You have wronged me


Bigla ka lang nawala iniwan mo akong magisa
You suddenly vanished, leaving me alone


Di bat nangako ka sa akin na di mo sasaktan
Didn't you promise me that you won't hurt me?


Ang pusong sugatan, ano yan?
What is this wounded heart of mine?


oh. wag mo lang sabihin (na di ko kaya to)
Oh please don't say (that I can't handle it)


Ang mabuhay ng sarili.(na wala sa piling mo)
Living on my own (without you by my side)


oh oh... woh.
Oh oh... woah.


Kailan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo?
When will I ever break free from you?


Ilang umaga ng lumipas
Several mornings have passed


Mahal pa rin kita, di ko malimulimut ang saya
I still love you, and I can't forget the happiness


Sanay sinabi mo sa akin
I wish you told me


Na may iba ka na pala
That you already have someone else


Nagmukha akong tanga
I looked foolish


(repeat twice)


la la la. la la la la la.


Kailan pa kaya ako lalaya sayo?
When will I ever break free from you?

Tama, It's Nathan Azarcon on vocals, Rico - back up vocals. from the album IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN. hindi siya nai release as a single, pero madalas siyang patugtugin sa RX 93.1 dati.

my favorite song from the album together with she's so uncool and homecoming. probably their best album... but its just me...

Cool song. I think Beatles inspired tong song na 'to. Pakinggan nyo yung first part ng A Day in the LIfe, yung part ni John Lennon. Well, kahit sino naman na influence ng Fab Four one way or another. Cool slide guitar, great drums , tamang tama lang yung horn section. NICE!

may kasalanan by rivermaya, i believed galing sa "It's Not Easy Being Green" album... i think it's Nathan Azarcon on vocals and Rico as back-up (and probably with Mark). if i'm not mistaken it was written by Nathan... =)
