Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

oh oh oh oh oh
Maaari bang malaman ang pangalan mo a?
Kanina pa kita tinititigan
Di ka maalis sa isipan
Maaari bang malaman kung may boyfriend ka?
Ang puso kong ito'y kumakabog
Ako na yata'y nahuhulog sa iyo...
Basta hindi ko maexplain
Ah basta... basta...
Please let me know your name...

At dun na nagsimula ang ating fairytale.
You're my sweet and pretty princess na magsasabing.
Please stay, Please stay
Please stay forevermore
And i'll be your prince charming
'till the end kung okay lang

Ah basta basta basta.
Ah basta basta basta sa akin ka.
Maaari bang malaman kung may chance ako?
Na makilala ang isang tulad mo

Pasensya na kung medyo OA lang ako

Ah basta... basta...
Please let me know your name...
At dun na nagsimula ang ating fairytale.
You're my sweet and pretty princess na magsasabing...

Please stay, Please stay
Please stay forevermore
And i'll be your prince charming
'till the end forever dreaming

Ah basta basta basta
Ah basta basta basta sa akin ka...

Magmula nung nakita ka
Maghahanap pa ba ng iba?
Di naman siguro bawal ang aking hiling ...

Di na biro ang nararamdaman please sabihin ang iyong pangalaaaaaaaaaalan...
At dun na nagsimula ang ating fairytale.
You're my sweet and pretty princess na magsasabing...

Please stay, Please stay
Please stay forevermore
And i'll be your prince charming 'till the end i'll promise you...
Ah basta basta basta
Ah basta basta basta sa akin ka

sa akin ka, sa akin ka




sa akin kaaaaaaaaaa
Ah basta
