Away-Bati
Yeng Constantino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mamaya ngingiti, mamaya ngingiwi
Puro tampuhan, walang katapusan
Mamaya hihinto, di ka na kikibo
Di naman sa sinasabing nagsasawa na
Ang akin lang naman pwedeng ayusin pa ba
Kung ayos lang sa yo ang ganito
[Chorus]
Kasi nga mahal kita
Di naman pwedeng sabihin na ayaw ko na
Kasi nga mahal kita
Konting masabi, naiinis agad
Ako ba ang mali, oo ba o hindi
Sa buong araw, di pwedeng walang sigawan
Ako nga ang mali, laging nagtitimpi
Di mo naman aamining kasalanan mo nga
Nasasaktan na ako, hoy ano ka ba
Kung ayos lang sa yo ang ganito
Sige na nga, magtitiis na lang ako
[repeat Chorus]
Di naman sa sinasabing nagsasawa na
Ang akin lang naman pwedeng ayusin pa ba
Bakit ba kasi ang daming pinagtatalunan
Sige na nga, di naman kita kayang iwanan
[repeat Chorus]
Ayoko lang ng ganito
Sumasakit na ang ulo ko
Away bati tayo
Mahal kita
Kaya di ko sasabihing ayoko na
Kasi nga mahal kita
Ayoko lang ng ganito
Sumasakit na ang ulo ko
Away bati tayo
The song Away-Bati by Yeng Constantino speaks of a relationship that seems to be filled with constant arguments, misunderstandings, and petty fights. The lyrics start off with the observation that there are always fights between the two individuals, that sometimes they're smiling and happy, but most of the time they're frowning and angry. The chorus reveals that despite all these conflicts, the singer still loves the other person and cannot say that they want to leave the relationship. This is followed by a verse that addresses the tendency of the other person to get quickly irritated and angry over small things, and the singer's frustration with the situation. However, the singer still chooses to stay with the other person, despite the pain and headaches that come with the constant arguing. The song ends with an appeal for the couple to reconcile and make amends, despite their constant battles, because the singer's love for the other person is still present.
The lyrics speak to the emotional struggle that one goes through in a relationship that is filled with conflicts. It highlights the fear of leaving someone they love, but also the desire for the relationship to improve. The song also touches on the theme of forgiveness, and the importance of compromising and finding middle ground. Overall, the song speaks of the complexity of relationships, where love and anger can coexist, and emphasizes the importance of working through difficulties in relationships if one still desires to be with the other person.

Puro away, napapansin mo ba
We always fight, do you notice?
Mamaya ngingiti, mamaya ngingiwi
Sometimes we'll smile, sometimes we'll frown
Puro tampuhan, walang katapusan
It's always petty arguments without end
Mamaya hihinto, di ka na kikibo
Sometimes it'll stop, and you won't say anything
Di naman sa sinasabing nagsasawa na
I'm not saying that I'm already tired of it
Ang akin lang naman pwedeng ayusin pa ba
Can we still fix it?
Kung ayos lang sa yo ang ganito
If this is okay with you
Sige na nga, magtitiis na lang ako
Okay then, I'll just endure it
[Chorus]
Chorus
Kasi nga mahal kita
Because I love you
Di naman pwedeng sabihin na ayaw ko na
I can't just say that I don't love you anymore
Konting masabi, naiinis agad
If I say something, you get annoyed right away
Ako ba ang mali, oo ba o hindi
Am I the one who's wrong, yes or no?
Sa buong araw, di pwedeng walang sigawan
Throughout the day, we can't help but argue
Ako nga ang mali, laging nagtitimpi
I'm the one who's wrong, and I'm always holding my temper
Di mo naman aamining kasalanan mo nga
You won't even admit your fault
Nasasaktan na ako, hoy ano ka ba
I'm already hurting, what's the matter with you?
Kung ayos lang sa yo ang ganito
If this is okay with you
Sige na nga, magtitiis na lang ako
Okay then, I'll just endure it

Ayoko lang ng ganito
I just don't like this
Sumasakit na ang ulo ko
My head is already hurting
Away bati tayo
We always fight and make up
Mahal kita
I love you
Kaya di ko sasabihing ayoko na
That's why I won't say that I don't love you anymore
Kasi nga mahal kita
Because I love you
Ayoko lang ng ganito
I just don't like this
Sumasakit na ang ulo ko
My head is already hurting
Away bati tayo
We always fight and make up
