Zack Tabudlo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hindi alam ako'y nakamasid
Hindi mo lang ako napapansin
Hanggang tingin na lang ba sa'yo
'Di makalapit sa ganda mo
Gusto lang na makilala pa
Kaso medyo nahihiya
Gusto lang kita makasama hanggang sa pagbaba ng araw
'Pag tayo na lang dalawa hindi lang masabi 'pag may iba
Gusto lang naman na aminin sa'yo ang nararamdaman ng aking puso
Wala nang iba 'wag nang pahirapan pa andito na
Totoo na nga ba 'to medyo hindi napagtanto
Matagal na kitang kilala simula palang nung una andito na
Ang hirap din patagalin kasi marami nakakapansin
Lahat nabibighani hindi ko naman masisi
Hindi ko masabi ang gusto aminin ang hirap sabihin na
Gusto lang kita makasama hanggang sa pagbaba ng araw 'pag tayo na lang dalawa
Hindi lang masabi 'pag may iba
Gusto lang naman na aminin sa'yo ang nararamdaman ng aking puso
Wala nang iba 'wag nang pahirapan pa andito na
Hindi rin makaimik kahit pa makatabi
Nawawala aking tapang 'pag malapit ka na bigla akong naduduwag
Mangangarap na lang ba na ikaw ang kasama
Ayoko nang mag-isa
Al James let's go (yeah yeah yeah)
Kabado pa nung una plano makausap
Lakad pa kalmado pero parang nalulula
Daming nakausap 'kaw ang napusuan
Binibini gagawan ng paraan makuha ka
Ikaw na nga 'yon at walang iba
Okay lang 'yan mundo man natin ay magkaiba
Mapagod man ako ikaw ang aking pahinga
Sabay sasalubungin ang umaga nang nakahiga
Sa t'wing kasama ka para 'kong lumulutang (wow)
Kung ga'no kasaya 'yun ang 'di ko masukat (no)
Lakas ng amat 'di kaya ko ginayuma (let's go)
Hanggang ngayon kapit pa rin sa aking halimuyak niya
Gumagaan lahat ng pabigat (gumagaan lahat)
Patuloy lang tayo sa pagliyab (patuloy lang tayo)
Kung lahat 'to panaginip lang paggising ko pangako 'yan agad ko sasabihin na
Gusto lang kita makasama hanggang sa pagbaba ng araw 'pag tayo na lang dalawa (yah yeah yeah)
Hindi lang masabi 'pag may iba ('di lang masabi)
Gusto lang naman na aminin sa'yo ang nararamdaman ng aking puso wala nang iba (oh wala nang iba)
'Wag nang pahirapan pa andito na (andito na)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah)
Yeah hey ta ta (yeah)
The lyrics of Zack Tabudlo's "Gusto" feat. Al James center on a person who is infatuated with another but finds it difficult to confess their feelings. The singer is tongue-tied whenever they are near the person they like, and they feel invisible to them. Despite this, the singer yearns to get closer to the object of their affection, making excuses for their hesitance to take action. They express their desire to be with the person they like until the end of the day and to admit their true feelings, hoping that there's no more need to beat around the bush.
Throughout the song, there's a certain vulnerability and honesty shown by the singer. They are not afraid to express the confusion, fear, and hesitation that come with falling for someone. The chorus emphasizes this vulnerability, repeatedly stating that all the singer wants is just to be with the person they like, and there's no more need for pain and confusion. Overall, the song conveys a universal message that love can be complicated, and sometimes, you just have to face your fears and take a leap of faith.

Ako'y natutulala araw-araw nakikita
Every day I'm captivated as I see you
Hindi alam ako'y nakamasid
You're not aware that I'm staring
Hindi mo lang ako napapansin
You don't even notice me
Hanggang tingin na lang ba sa'yo
Am I just restricted to admiring you from afar
'Di makalapit sa ganda mo
Unable to approach you because of your beauty
Gusto lang na makilala pa
But I just want to get to know you better
Kaso medyo nahihiya
I'm just a little bit shy
Hindi ko masabi ang gusto aminin ang hirap sabihin na (oh)
I find it hard to confess what I'm feeling for you
Gusto lang kita makasama hanggang sa pagbaba ng araw
I want to spend time with you until the day ends
'Pag tayo na lang dalawa hindi lang masabi 'pag may iba
When it's just the both of us, I want to say what I feel without fear
Gusto lang naman na aminin sa'yo ang nararamdaman ng aking puso
All I want is to confess my feelings to you
Wala nang iba 'wag nang pahirapan pa andito na
No one else matters, let's not make things complicated, here I am
Totoo na nga ba 'to medyo hindi napagtanto
Is this really happening? It's a bit hard to believe
Matagal na kitang kilala simula palang nung una andito na
I've known you for a while, from the very start, here I am
Ang hirap din patagalin kasi marami nakakapansin
It's hard to extend this because many are already noticing
Lahat nabibighani hindi ko naman masisi
Everyone is captivated by you, I can't blame them
Hindi rin makaimik kahit pa makatabi
Despite being next to you, I can't speak up
Nawawala aking tapang 'pag malapit ka na bigla akong naduduwag
My courage disappears when you're close, I suddenly become timid
Mangangarap na lang ba na ikaw ang kasama
Should I just keep dreaming of being with you?
Ayoko nang mag-isa
I don't want to be alone
Kabado pa nung una plano makausap
I was nervous at first and planned to talk to you
Lakad pa kalmado pero parang nalulula
I tried to walk calmly, but felt dizzy
Daming nakausap 'kaw ang napusuan
I've talked to many, but it's you I have eyes for
Binibini gagawan ng paraan makuha ka
Miss, I'll find a way to win your heart
Ikaw na nga 'yon at walang iba
It's you and no one else
Okay lang 'yan mundo man natin ay magkaiba
It's okay, our worlds are different
Mapagod man ako ikaw ang aking pahinga
Even if I'm tired, you're my rest
Sabay sasalubungin ang umaga nang nakahiga
We'll welcome the morning together as we lie down
Sa t'wing kasama ka para 'kong lumulutang (wow)
Whenever I'm with you, I feel like I'm floating (wow)
Kung ga'no kasaya 'yun ang 'di ko masukat (no)
I can't even measure how happy I am (no)
Lakas ng amat 'di kaya ko ginayuma (let's go)
Your beauty is so strong, I might have been bewitched (let's go)
Hanggang ngayon kapit pa rin sa aking halimuyak niya
Until now, I'm still holding on to the fragrance of you
Gumagaan lahat ng pabigat (gumagaan lahat)
All my burdens are lightened (all lightened)
Patuloy lang tayo sa pagliyab (patuloy lang tayo)
We'll continue to blaze brightly (we'll continue)
Kung lahat 'to panaginip lang paggising ko pangako 'yan agad ko sasabihin na
If all of this is just a dream, I promise I'll tell you as soon as I wake up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah)
Yeah hey ta ta (yeah)
Yeah hey ta ta (yeah)

(Here's the english lyrics)
I am stunned, I see you every day
You don't notice me watching you
You just don't notice me
Will I only be able to look at you?
I can't approach your beauty
I just want to know you better
But I'm kinda shy
I can't say what I want to confess
It's hard to say that (Ooh)
I just want to be with you
Until the sun sets
When it's only the two of us
Just can't say if there's somebody else
I just want to confess to you
What my heart feels
Nothing else, don't make it hard for me
I'm here now
Is this for real?
I haven't processed it yet
I have known you for long
Even from the beginning, I've been here
It's hard to delay [my confession]
Because a lot of people notice
Your charm
I can't blame them
I can't say what I want to confess
It's hard to say that
I just want to be with you
Until the sun sets
When it's only the two of us
Just can't say if there's somebody else
I just want to confess to you
What my heart feels
Nothing else, don't make it hard for me
I'm here now
I can't say a word when I'm next to you
My courage diminishes
When you're near I immediately become a coward
Will it only remain a dream
To be with you?
I don't want to be alone anymore
Al James, let's go (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was nervous at first, planning to talk to you
Tried to walk calmly but it seems like I'm getting dizzy
I've talked to many, and you're the one I liked
Miss, I'll make a way to get you
You're the one and no one else
It's okay that our worlds are different
Even if I get tired, you're my rest
Together we will welcome the morning while laying down
Every time I'm with you it's like I levitate (Wow)
My happiness, that what I can't measure (No)
I'm so high right now, I suspect a love spell was cast on me (Let's go)
Until now, her fragrance lingers on me
Every thing that's heavy lightens up (Everything lightens up)
Let's continue blazing (Let's continue)
If all of this is just a dream
When I wake up, I promise, to immediately tell you that
I want to be with you (Yah)
Until the sun sets
When it's only the two of us (Yeah, yeah)
Just can't say if there's somebody else
I just want to confess to you
What my heart feels
Nothing else (Nothing else)
Don't make it hard for me
I'm here now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah-eh)
Yeah, hey, yeah (Yeah)

dapat mag-invest si Zack ng translations/captions of different languages para sa mga songs niya para mapromote lalo to internationally cause he's being slowly recognized worldwide.

Indeed.
