Read the Song Lyrics
Paikot-ikot lang mula no’ng mailang
Gawa ng ‘yong tingin at ngiti
‘Di sinasadyang mahulog, mahibang
Aasa na tayo sa huli
The singer describes how they have been caught in a cycle of hesitation since they noticed the other person’s gaze and smile. They never intended to fall in love, but it happened, and now they are hoping for a happy ending.
Aaminin ko ba o baka bigla lang mawala
Kung ano mang pumapagitan sa ‘ting dalawa?
Naiisip mo ba sa mga oras na tayo’y magkasama
Kung ano tayo sa buhay ng isa’t isa?
They are torn between confessing their feelings or staying silent. There’s fear that speaking up might ruin everything. At the same time, they wonder if the other person also thinks about their connection and what they truly mean to each other.
Paikot-ikot lang mula no’ng mailang
Gawa ng ‘yong tingin at ngiti
‘Di sinasadyang mahulog, mahibang
Aasa na tayo sa huli
Again, the same emotions resurface—feeling anxious, falling in love unintentionally, and hoping for the best despite the uncertainty.
Araw-gabi, tanging ikaw ang nasa isip
Kahit laman ng panaginip ay ikaw
Ang aking hiling, tumanda nang ikaw lang ang kapiling
Habang-buhay ay pipiliin ko ikaw
Day and night, the singer thinks of this person. Even in their dreams, they are present. Their deepest wish is to spend a lifetime together, choosing this person forever.
Paikot-ikot lang mula no’ng mailang
Gawa ng ‘yong tingin at ngiti
‘Di sinasadyang mahulog, mahibang
Aasa na tayo sa huli
The cycle continues—nervousness, accidental love, and hope for a future together.
Paulit-ulit na lang sinasabi
Pero ‘di ko naman pinaninindigan
Oh, palaging nagdadal’wang-isip
They admit that they keep saying the same things but never act on them. They hesitate and overthink, unsure of what to do.
Paulit-ulit ko lang sinasabi
Sa sarili ko ang mga hindi
Mabitawang salita para sa ‘yo
They constantly remind themselves of the words they want to say but can never actually express. These unspoken feelings remain trapped inside.
Ikaw lang at ikaw ang sinisigaw
Ng puso kong ‘di mapakali
Ikaw lang at ikaw ang sinisigaw
Pag-ibig ko’y sana mapansin
Their restless heart keeps calling for this person. They long for their love to be noticed and, hopefully, returned.
Ikaw lang at ikaw ang sinisigaw
Ng puso kong ‘di mapakali
Ikaw lang at ikaw ang sinisigaw
Pag-ibig ko’y sana mapansin
The same feelings repeat—an intense longing for recognition and love.
Paikot-ikot lang mula no’ng mailang
Gawa ng ‘yong tingin at ngiti
‘Di sinasadyang mahulog, mahibang
Aasa na tayo sa huli
The song ends on the same note—caught in an endless cycle of uncertainty, unexpected love, and hope for a happy ending.
