MNL48 “Ikaw Ang Melody” Lyrics + English Translation

[Verse 1]

Tulad ng panahon, nagbabago sikat ng araw
Like the seasons, the sunlight always changes

Maliwanag ang paligid, lahat ay nasisilaw
The surroundings are bright, everything is dazzling

Sabay sa ihip ng hangin, ‘di ko namamalayan
Carried by the wind, I don’t even notice

Ako ay biglang napapaawit na
I suddenly start to sing

Nakakatago sa isip mga lumang alaala
Old memories hidden deep in my mind

Nakalimutan na pati ang ating favorite song
Even our favorite song has been forgotten

Pero bakit itong kanta ay bumalik biglaan sa isipan
But why did this song suddenly return to my mind?

[Pre-Chorus]

Ang pag-ibig ay ‘di tumitigil sa’king isipan, pinaghahandaan
Love doesn’t leave my mind, I keep preparing for it

Parang bumalik kahapon sa radyo na sira na
Like yesterday playing back on a broken radio

Puro ingay na ang naririnig
Now all I hear is static

[Chorus]

Ikaw ang melody, melody
You are the melody, melody

‘Di malimutang harmony, harmony
An unforgettable harmony, harmony

Damdaming ‘di ko nasabi
Feelings I never got to say

Nagsisising lubos ang aking dibdib
Now my heart is full of regret

Ang aking melody, melody
My melody, melody

Kantang hindi ko malilimutan
A song I’ll never forget

Magkasama sakit at tuwa
Together, we shared pain and joy

Araw na puno ng saya, bumalik sa isip ko
Those joyful days return to my memory

[Verse 2]

Naaalala kong naglalakad ng magkasama
I remember how we walked together

Pero bigla na lang tayo ay naghiwalay na
But suddenly we went our separate ways

‘Di namalayang panahon ay nagdaan na
We didn’t notice how much time had passed

Binurang limot ang kantang gusto
The song we loved has faded from memory

Bakit nga ba parang tayo ay may nalimutan
Why does it feel like we forgot something?

May hinahanap sa bawat bagong pangarap
Looking for something in every new dream

Pero parang ako ang malaking katanungan nitong musika
But maybe I’m the big question in this music

[Pre-Chorus]

Pagkakataon ang nagturo, nagsabi sa’tin na lahat may dahilan
Chance taught us, told us that everything has its reason

Hindi ko talaga akalain ang pusong tulog
I never thought this sleeping heart

Nahihimbing ay magigising
Would one day be awakened

[Chorus]

Tamis ng memory, memory
The sweetness of memory, memory

Mga araw ng glory days, glory days
The days of glory days, glory days

Pangakong ‘di na babalik
A promise never to return

Kay mula ng ika’y magpaalam sakin
Ever since you said goodbye to me

Biglaang memory, memory
A sudden memory, memory

Maliwanag pa sa’king isipan
Still clear in my mind

Dahan-dahan ‘di inasahan
Slowly, unexpectedly

Lahat ay aking pinagsisihan hanggang ngayon
I regret everything even now

[Bridge]

Naaalala ko pa rin
I still remember

Naaalala mo rin ba tayong dalawa?
Do you still remember the two of us?

Nakikinig na masaya sabay kumakanta sa hit song
Listening happily, singing along to that hit song

[Chorus]

Ikaw ang melody, melody
You are the melody, melody

‘Di malimutang harmony, harmony
An unforgettable harmony, harmony

Damdaming ‘di ko nasabi
Feelings I never got to say

Nagsisising lubos ang aking dibdib
Now my heart is full of regret

Ang aking melody, melody
My melody, melody

Kantang hindi ko malilimutan
A song I’ll never forget

Masakit na alaala, bumabalik sa puso
Painful memories come back to my heart

[Outro]

Ito ang melody, melody
This is the melody, melody

Baka naaalala mo pa rin
Maybe you still remember

Kakantahin mo pa rin ba?
Will you still sing it?

Para maaalala ang kahapon natin
To remember yesterday

Kakantahin mo pa rin ba?
Will you still sing it?

Ang kahapong bumabalik sa narinig na melody
The past returns in this melody we hear
