Maligaya Street Lyrics English Translation by Arthur Miguel
Just here
We only go as far as right here
The roads are all a mess
It’s nothing like Diliman
How many times did you wave them down
They just ignored you
You got left behind in QC
Counting every moment
Come on now
Oh, let’s try to love
Heading down the street of
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Pamaligaya-maligaya
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Oh, take me to the happy place
Is there one
Could there still be one coming?
I’m not really in a hurry
Just getting tired of waiting in the dark
You got beat by the person next to you
The one with the thick glasses
It made you wonder why
You’re still waiting anyway
Come on now
Oh, let’s try to love
Heading down the street of
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Pamaligaya-maligaya
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Oh, take me to the happy place
Passed by
Left behind
A cold night
Holding on
Loneliness
Takes hold
Of my numb hand
That can’t hold back
Carved into your palms is that you are alone
Carved into your very self is that you have no worth
Come on now
Oh, let’s try to love
Heading down the street of
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Pamaligaya-maligaya
Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah
Oh, take me to the happy place
(Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah)
(Pamaligaya-maligaya)
Come on now, come on now
(Pamaligaya-pa-pamaligaya-ah)
Will you ever come?
Will you ever come?
