Baybayin Lyrics English Translation by Ben&Ben
Even if the shore is far away
Love will always be ours
Do you remember back in 2017?
Chicken nuggets and Coke, or splitting everything
That was us, when the music played
In the early morning on route 196
Imagining that someday
Our dreams would come true
The way we see each other never changed
Day after day, we faced it all together
Even back in 2018
When we’d sing along to our songs
The light that was with us
In every province, school, and gig
We never gave up, even when it was hard
Nothing we didn’t face
Never got blinded by the lights and colors
No matter what life threw at us
The ocean we row across
Go back, go back
The home we came from
Go back, go back
Do you remember back in 2019
We walked down Limasawa street
It gave us an album on repeat
Multi platinum, never would’ve guessed
But what mattered more was what we built
The foundation of a real bond
Never forget, the nine souls
After the gig, we’d go eat samgyupsal
But then 2020, suddenly a pandemic
Like our whole worlds collapsed
Shaken by fear
But Bathala had a plan after all
Two years, all in one house
Life kept flowing on
The music and memories
Of pebble house, can never be erased
The ocean we row across
Go back, go back
The home we came from
Go back, go back
’22 the pandemic ended
Trials and blessings poured down
Not everything was easy
But we tried to make the most of every moment
2023, ’24, ’25
Each of us had to move forward with life
Is it only in photos we can look back
At the laughter, the tears, and the jokes
Now we’re heading into a new chapter
One by one, getting married and having kids
One of us will have to go far away
Even a kite will fly off
Wherever the north wind blows it
Our friendship can never be replaced
The ocean we row across
Go back, go back
The home we came from
Go back, go back
