Metro
YANO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ang sikip-sikip ang init-init (oh oh)
Ang sikip ang init
Ang baho-baho ang ingay-ingay (oh oh)
Ang baho ang ingay
Kelan ba luluwag kelan ba lalamig
Kelan ba babango kelan ba tatahimik

Ang alikabok ang usok-usok (oh oh)
Di na makahinga
Ang tagal-tagal ang bagal-bagal (oh oh)
Nagmumukhang tanga
Ito na ba palagi bukas ba ito uli
Kelangang magmadali gusto ko nang makauwi

Ang dami dami dami daming tao (oh oh)
Nakakahilo
Ang dami dami dami daming oto (oh oh)
Ang sakit sa ulo
Araw-araw ay ganito ako ay batung-bato
Ayoko na ito gusto ko wala ako dito ah

Wala ako dito wala ako dito wala ako dito
Wala ako dito wala ako dito wala ako dito




Wala ako dito wala ako dito wala ako dito
Wala ako
