Lapit

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nagtatanong
Anong sagot sa bakit
Pikit mata
Lumuluha
Di maintindihan puno ng pait
Dyan ka nagkakamali
Lapit sa akin
At huwag matakot ka
Papawiin ang luha
Ulan ay titila na
Kahit sabihin mo na
Di na kaya
Araw ay sisikat
May bagong liwanag
Di ka nagiisa ah
Naghahanap
Naghihintay
O sa mundo kaya
Nalang sumabay
Nangingimi
Na sumuko na
Di makita
San bang pagasa
Parang walang nakikinig
Dyan ka nagkakamali
Lapit sa akin
At huwag matakot ka
Papawiin ang luha
Ulan ay titila na
Kahit sabihin mo na
Di na kaya
Araw ay sisikat
May bagong liwanag
Di ka nagiisa ah
Problema'y parang ulan
Na walang katapusan
Di makita kung sa'n sisilong
At sa hakbang merong dilim na
Laging nandyan
Di makita kung saan tutungo
Parang walang nakikinig
Dyan ka nagkakamali
Lapit sa akin
At huwag matakot ka
Papawiin ang luha
Ulan ay titila na
Kahit sabihin mo na
Di na kaya
Araw ay sisikat
May bagong liwanag
Di ka nagiisa ah
Kahit sabihin mo na
Di na kaya
Araw ay sisikat
May bagong liwanag
Di ka nagiisa
The song "Lapit" by Yeng Constantino is about providing comfort and assurance to someone who is going through a difficult time. The lyrics speak of someone who is in pain - someone who is asking questions without finding answers, crying without understanding why, and feeling like no one is listening. The chorus, which is repeated multiple times throughout the song, offers empathy and hope. It invites the person to come closer, assuring them that their tears will eventually dry up and a new day will come with a fresh start.
The verses of the song also describe the feeling of being lost and not having a clear direction. The line "Problema'y parang ulan, na walang katapusan" (Problems are like rain that never stops) is a metaphor for the overwhelming nature of the struggles one faces. The line "Di makita kung sa'n sisilong," (Can't see where to take cover) is also a metaphor for feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next.
Throughout the song, it is evident that the singer is trying her best to be a source of comfort and strength for the person going through a difficult time. The song's message of hope and encouragement is universal and speaks to the empathy that we can all offer to those in need.

Lumuluha
Tears are falling
Di maintindihan puno ng pait
The tree of bitterness cannot be understood
Parang walang nakikinig
It seems like no one is listening
Dyan ka nagkakamali
That's where you go wrong
Lapit sa akin
Come closer to me
At huwag matakot ka
And don't be afraid
Papawiin ang luha
I will wipe away your tears
Ulan ay titila na
The rain will stop
Kahit sabihin mo na
Even if you say
Di na kaya
Can't take it anymore
Araw ay sisikat
The sun will rise
May bagong liwanag
There's a new light
Di ka nagiisa ah
You are not alone, ah
Naghahanap
Searching
Naghihintay
Waiting
O sa mundo kaya
Or in the world
Nalang sumabay
Just go with the flow
Nangingimi
Feeling timid
Na sumuko na
That gave up
Di makita
Can't see
San bang pagasa
Where is the hope
Problema'y parang ulan
Problems are like rain
Na walang katapusan
That seems endless
Di makita kung sa'n sisilong
Can't see where to take shelter
At sa hakbang merong dilim na
And in every step there is darkness
Laging nandyan
Always there
Di makita kung saan tutungo
Can't see where to go
Kahit sabihin mo na
Even if you say
Di na kaya
Can't take it anymore
Araw ay sisikat
The sun will rise
May bagong liwanag
There's a new light
Di ka nagiisa
You are not alone
