Cool Off
Yeng Constantino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ako sana'y pakinggan
Di ko balak ang ika'y saktan
Hindi ikaw ang problema
Wala akong iba
Di tulad ng iyong hinala
Sarili ay di maintindihan
Ng pansatamantalang paghingi ko ng kalayaan
Minamahal kita pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa
Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal
Sarili ko'y hahanapin ko lang
At ang panahon at oras ng aking pagkawala
Ay para rin sa atin dalawa
Wag ka sanang lumuha
Sana'y intindihin
Ito ang dapat nating gawin
Upang magkakilala pa at
Malaman kung tayo ay
Para sa isa't isa
Wag mong pigilin ang damdamin
Sa aking pagkawala makahanap ka bigla ng iba
Ngunit pakakatandaan
Na mahal pa rin kita pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa
Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal
Sarili ko'y hahanapin ko lang
At ang panahon at oras ng aking pagkawala
Ay para rin sa atin
Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal
Sarili ko'y hahanapin ko lang
At ang panahon at ang oras ng aking pagkawala
Ay para rin sa ating dalawa ah
Oh oh oh
The song "Cool Off" is a poignant portrayal of the difficulties of relationships, particularly the need for space and the fear of losing someone you love. The song presents one partner's desire for some time alone while their lover struggles to understand this request. The song's lyrics express the idea that sometimes the best thing for a relationship is for each person to take some time to themselves, which can ultimately lead to a stronger and healthier bond.
The opening lines of the song, "Wag ka munang magalit, Ako sana'y pakinggan," reveal the singer's attempt at communication and their desire for understanding. They explain that they do not wish to hurt their partner, but rather they need some time alone. The lines "Minamahal kita, pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa" capture the complex and often conflicting feelings involved in a relationship. The singer loves their partner, but recognizes the need for solitude.
Throughout the song, the singer's message to their partner is that they are not being pushed away, but rather they need some time alone to navigate their own emotions and feelings. The song's chorus, which repeats the lines "Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal, Sarili ko'y hahanapin ko lang," encapsulates this idea. Essentially, the singer is saying that they still love their partner, but they need to take care of themselves first.

Wag ka munang magalit
Please don't get angry
Ako sana’y pakinggan
Please listen to me
Di ko balak ang ika’y saktan
I don't plan to hurt you
Hindi ikaw ang problema
It's not you who's the problem
Wala akong iba
There is no one else
Di tulad ng iyong hinala
Unlike what you suspect
Sarili ay di maintindihan
I can't understand myself
Hindi ko malaman, ano ba ang dahilan
I don't know what the reason is
Ng pansatamantalang paghingi ko ng kalayaan
Of my temporary request for freedom
Minamahal kita, pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa
I love you, but I just need to be alone
Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal
Don't think that you are not loved anymore
Sarili ko’y hahanapin ko lang
I'm just searching for myself
At ang panahon at oras ng aking pagkawala
And the time of my disappearance
Ay para rin sa atin dalawa
Is also for the both of us
Wag ka sanang lumuha
I hope you won't cry
Sana’y intindihin
Please try to understand
Ito ang dapat nating gawin
This is what we should do
Upang magkakilala pa
So we can get to know each other more
At malaman kung tayo
And find out if we
Ay para sa isa’t isa
Are meant for each other
Wag mong pigilin ang damdamin
Don't hold back your feelings
Sa aking pagkawala, makahanap ka bigla ng iba
When I'm gone, you might find someone else
Ngunit pakakatandaan mo sana
But please remember
Na mahal pa rin kita, pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa
That I still love you, but I just need to be alone
Sarili ay di maintindihan
I can't understand myself
Hindi ko malaman, ano ba ang dahilan
I don't know what the reason is
Ng pansatamantalang paghingi ko ng kalayaan
Of my temporary request for freedom
Minamahal kita, pero kelangan ko lang mag-isa
I love you, but I just need to be alone
Wag mong isipin na hindi ka na mahal
Don't think that you are not loved anymore
Sarili ko’y hahanapin ko lang
I'm just searching for myself
At ang panahon at oras ng aking pagkawala
And the time of my disappearance
Ay para rin sa atin dalawa
Is also for the both of us

hey
@chikupachi
We often ask for space and distance not because we dont love him/her anymore. Sometimes, we just want to confirm who's willing to wait and who's going to seek for our presence when we're gone. Yes sometimes, silence speaks louder.

@aevriiie
I really don't understand those people. 😂 Why would you risk to lose someone so special and someone who loves you deeply, only to find out if you will miss them while they're gone?
@cresenciaripalda8391
