Hinahanap-Hanap Kita
Rivermaya Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴"adik sa 'yo"
awit sa akin
nilang sawa na sa aking mga kuwentong marathon
tungkol sa 'yo
at sa ligayang
iyong hatid sa aking buhay
tuloy ang bida sa isipan ko'y ikaw
~sa umaga't sa gabi sa bawa't minutong lumilipas
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
sa isip at panaginip
bawa't pagpihit ng tadhana
hinahanap-hanap kita
sabik sa 'yo
kahit maghapon
na tayong magkasama parang telesine
ang ating anding
hatid sa bahay n'yo
sabay goodnight, sabay may kiss
sabay bye-bye
repeat ~
sa school sa flag ceremony
hanggang uwian araw-araw
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
at kahit na magka-anak kayo't
magkatuluyan balang araw
hahanap-hanapin ka

hahanap-hanapin ka
~ski~

Sing to me

nilang sawa na sa aking mga kuwentong marathon
They are tired of my marathon stories about you

tungkol sa 'yo
About you

at sa ligayang iyong hatid sa aking buhay
And the happiness you bring into my life

tuloy ang bida sa isipan ko'y ikaw
You are still the lead in my thoughts

sa umaga't sa gabi sa bawa't minutong lumilipas
In the morning and at night, every passing minute

In my mind and in my dreams with every turn of fate

hinahanap-hanap kita

Even if we spend the whole day together, it feels like a movie

ang ating anding hatid sa bahay n'yo
Our walk brings you to your house

sabay goodnight, sabay may kiss sabay bye-bye
Saying goodnight, with a kiss, and then goodbye

sa school sa flag ceremony hanggang uwian araw-araw
From school flag ceremony until dismissal every day

at kahit na magka-anak kayo't magkatuluyan balang araw
And even if you have kids and end up together someday

hahanap-hanapin ka
I will still search for you

hahanap-hanapin ka
I will still search for you
