Sabihin mo na
Yeng Constantino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gusto kong magpaliwanag sa iyo
Ngunit di kinakausap
Di ko inasahang diringgin mo
Nakatingala sa ulap

Alam kong nasaktan na naman kita
Ngunit di ko naman sinasadya
Hinding-hindi na mauulit sinta

Sana'y maniwala ka

[Chorus:]
Sabihin mo na
Kung anong gusto mo
Kahit ano'y gagawin
Para lamang sa yo
Sabihin mo na
Papaano mo mapapatawad

Ilang araw mo nang hindi pinapansin
Ilang araw pang lilipas
Nakatanga sa harapan ng salamin
Naghihintay ng bawat bukas

Lahat naman tayo'y nagkakamali
Sinong di nagsasala
Ngunit papaano babawi sa pagkakamali
Un ang mahalaga

[Chorus:]
Sabihin mo na
Kung anong gusto mo
Kahit ano'y gagawin
Para lamang sa yo
Sabihin mo na
Papaano mo mapapatawad

[Bridge:]
Patawarin mo sana sinta
Di ko sinasadya

[Chorus:]
Sabihin mo na
Kung anong gusto mo
Kahit ano'y gagawin
Para lamang sa yo

Sabihin mo na
Papaano mo mapapatawad

I didn't expect you to listen

Nakatingala sa ulap
I'm staring up at the clouds

Ilang araw mo nang hindi pinapansin
You've been ignoring me for days

Ilang araw pang lilipas
And more days will pass

Nakatanga sa harapan ng salamin
I'm just staring at myself in the mirror

Naghihintay ng bawat bukas
Waiting for every new day

Lahat naman tayo'y nagkakamali
We all make mistakes

Sinong di nagsasala
Who doesn't sin?

Ngunit papaano babawi sa pagkakamali
But how can I make up for what I've done?

Un ang mahalaga
That's what's important

[Bridge:] Patawarin mo sana sinta Di ko sinasadya
Please forgive me my love, I didn't mean it
