Nadarang — English translation

Shanti Dope · tagalog → English

What "Nadarang" means

A longing, bittersweet love song about being pulled back again and again to someone who keeps hurting the singer. He admits he knows he will be burned, yet he stays hopeful, checking in on this person, worrying about them, and even praying for a sign they secretly care. The mood is wistful and late-night, mixing devotion, jealousy over someone who has other attachments, and quiet heartbreak. A Filipino-style religious reference to praying the Our Father shows how desperate the hope has become.

Andiyan ka na naman
There you are again
Ba't 'di ko maiwasang tumingin sa 'yong liwanag?
How can I help but be drawn to your light?
Nadarang na naman sa 'yong apoy
Burned again by your fire
Bakit ba laging hinahayaan?
Why do I always let it happen?
