Palaisipan Lyrics English Translation by Loonie
Should we start with a riddle?
Baby, please
[Arthur Nery]
If I were to introduce myself,
Could you let everything go through your hands?
I just got lost in all the twists and turns
Of your body.
I just hope I get a chance to pass through.
[Loonie]
Blinded by your curves, fooled by promises with no contract,
Flirting until morning breaks, no answer to the question, “Are we really together?”
Ouch, if you don’t want to get hurt, don’t hope,
Just making small signs of devotion.
Prayers to the Divine, hoping they work,
But often it’s just Satan conspiring against them.
I’ve been praying for a long time that you’d fall completely for me,
Yet I feel like a mouse snatched by a hawk, played with, then let go.
Voice is quiet, mind is deep, hard to read, like ancient script,
My own language of love is confession, but you turned lying into art.
[Arthur Nery]
If I were to introduce myself,
Could you let everything go through your hands?
I just got lost in all the twists and turns
Of your body.
I just hope I get a chance to pass through.
[Loonie]
What are we really? I just need clarity.
I need to know if you still love me.
Are you just playing or just reckless?
Because I saw you yesterday with someone new.
I don’t want to hope for vague promises,
Like a moth drawn to fire and burned.
Plans and intentions vanished the more I followed,
Did I look foolish? So many promises, yet all excuses.
Always calling with nothing to say,
Every day treated like it’s normal—what’s the point?
Vows mean nothing if there’s no right to make them.
I want understanding, don’t let it stay dark.
We’re supposed to be like lovers at the movies, yet it’s a puzzle,
So many twists and turns causing conflict.
[Arthur Nery]
If I were to introduce myself,
Could you let everything go through your hands?
I just got lost in all the twists and turns
Of your body.
I just hope I get a chance to pass through.
[Arthur Nery]
Just time and a little space is all we need,
The two of us for now.
Yet it doesn’t seem like a barrier,
We’re getting closer to the stars.
[Loonie]
Two lovers on top of a mountain,
Agreed to end their sad lives.
No joy in the bedroom, looking for the final act,
They agreed to jump together from the peak.
He said, “Trust me, my love,
We’ll jump together on three.”
But the problem: when he counted, he jumped alone.
The girl stayed behind, just watching him, smiling.
Suddenly she was shocked to see he was smiling too, falling down.
Then a massive helicopter appeared.
Now who’s the betrayer?
Who’s the clever one? Who’s really the fool?
The man with a backup plan,
Or the woman with none?
