A mystery of a feeling
Maepail 1999 (Marikina)
Sometimes I asked the wind
Why is the feeling so mysterious?
Why are there things that cannot be admitted?
Things that can't be yours ...
Words are stammering from my lips
Things I doesn't want to be seen
People I can't face
Memories that still in my chests
It's really obvious
I can see thru his words
His movements tells it all
But why can't he admit it all?
Is it because she can't keep his promises?
Or does he just not want to be in a commitment?
To the question, do you like me?
He remain his silence
Maybe there is someone else
In his heart and mind
Might have better feelings to other
Or things he doesn't want me to know
So I'll be quiet too
I will hide how I feel
If his mouth cannot tell
I may not be one in her feel
I still look at her in distance
He might not gonna see here
But still stuttering to tell
Feelings for her will remain a mystery that I couldn't tell
---original words---
Ang misteryo ng damdamin
Minsan napatanong ako sa hangin
Bakit nga ba parang misteryoso ang damdamin?
Bakit nga ba may mga bagay na hindi pwedeng aminin?
Mga bagay na hindi pwede kuhain...
May mga salitang utal kung sabihin
May mga kathang di ipakita sa paningin
Mga taong di kayang harapin
Mga pangyayaring madalas dibdibin
Halata naman talaga
Makikita sa mga salita
Mababasa ang mga galaw niya
Pero di kayang aminin di ba?
Dahil ba di kayang tumapad ng pangako?
O di kaya'y ayaw mong mapako?
Sa tanong na gusto mo ba ako?
Di mo kayang kumibo
Baka may ibang laman
Ang iyong puso't isipan
Sa iba baka may mas nararamdaman
O mga bagay na hindi mo gustong malaman
Kaya tatahimik na rin ako
Itatago ang nararamdaman ko
Kung hindi masabi ng kanyang nguso
Baka hindi nga ako laman ng kanyang puso
Tanaw ko parin naman siya
Hindi mo man ako makita
Natataranta parin sa aking mga salita
Isang misteryo parin ang damdamin sa kanya
