Mother queen bee,
I wish you knew that your skin color
is the subject of envy
of women in the west and more!

The way the sun glows over your skin,
it’s nothing like they’ve ever seen!
The way I want to have your color every summer,
I’m sure this is something you’ve never heard before!

Mother dear,
I wish you knew that your skin is the honey,
that the baby bees need to be near,
and to have your color, other people would spend money!

The way your eyes and skin shines golden,
there’s nothing about you tthat I would change!
Like the way flowers bloom beautifully in the garden,
the bees says yes, the butterflies would nod in agreement!

Not a crush, we’re not in high school, darling
This rush, I never saw it coming
Don’t talk, I’ll write another line
'Cause thinking about you feels like a **** crime.
I’d love if you knew you are why I write,
more often than the times I even drink wine.
My book’s a flop, but here’s another one.
And who knows who you’re with again tonight?

Touch me baby, feel the heat on my skin,
come take me out of this hell that I’m in.
I know you want it, baby come and take it,
oh I’ve never tried it, doing it on some nice beach.

Like a mighty bird being clipped off its wings,
my old songs, I can no longer sing,
but you can help me,
make me fly and soar free...
Oh, I never thought I’d be
drowning In El Nido

Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)
Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)

I see how things are really gonna be
We’re too far to spin this to reality
Distance, both in body and mind,
I will stay entrapped in this fantasy.
But I can’t
help but think
what if we just try it?
In Palawan, our lips will be one.
One kiss away from your best mistake.

Touch me baby, you’re running out of time
I’m gonna snap and I will lose my mind!
Do you want it? I need to hear you say it.
Oh I’m losing my breath, drowning in El Nido!

Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)
Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)

Sunsets and sailboats
I kept your name like an oath
If you don’t try, then it’s your loss
One kiss away from your best mistake!

Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)
Save me, baby (save me, save me, save me, save me)
Save me, baby (drowning in El Nido)

Won’t you ******* come here?
Kiss me, touch me, save me? (drowning in El Nido)
But I want all of it now! (drowning in El Nido)
Oh, yeah, oh (drowning in El Nido)
Drowning in El Nido...

Is it because it’s summer?
I can’t tell with the way I shiver.
How are you back home?
I can’t imagine how it’s like in your room.
“How many more tomorrow’s?”
I sing a happy song with much sorrow.
“If so, when?”
I sigh as if it’s the world’s end.
Is it because it’s summer?
I can’t tell if you are much colder.
Or is my heart just locked in a freezer?
Can you tell? Tell that I’m a good kisser?
Just another one of my jokes,
I might drink until I’m broke.
Like just another friend you met,
I might crash and break my good leg.
Is it because it’s summer?
You’re cold as ice, is this how you care?

Que caliente está el sol ahora más que nunca,
ven a sentirlo en tu piel, siente también el mar...
Quizás puedas encontrarme en otra isla.
Ven...
Que más fresco está el mar ahora desde el año pasado,
sigo olvidando el color de tus ojos, y qué dolor...
Encontrarás el verano entre mis labios.
Verme...
Cómo las calles cantan tu nombre,
cómo te llaman, queriendo encontrar significado entre...
Quizás puedas decirme su significado y origen.
Venir...
Cómo estos caminos escriben poemas en tu gloria,
pero el poste de luz pregunta: "Cuántos mañanas más?"
Verás el sol dorado en mi cara.
Ven a verme...
Y cómo mi piel se calienta aún más mientras te espero,
las palabras se escapan, mi pluma se me resbala de la mano.
Ven pa' ca...
Y cómo se me eriza el pelo, también esperando tu tacto.
Por fin mi cuerpo está en armonía, pero mi corazón está perdido.
Vente para ca...
Pero si finalmente decides romperme la piel, el cuerpo y el corazón,
aún así te sonreiré y te diré: "buena suerte, cariño."

Nalalayuan kaya ang mga ibon tuwing tinatanaw
ang malawak na hinagap ng kaparangan?
Nasisilaw pa rin kaya sila sa bukang liwayway
kahit mula pagkamulat ay iyon ang kinagisnan?
Nasasaktan pa rin kaya sila sa ganda ng paglubog ng araw
at ang angking kawalang pagkakatulad ng bawat isa?
Natatakot pa rin kaya sila sa halik ng dilim
kahit ang gabi ay nangangakong magdala ng lamikmik?
Kay rami ko pang nais itanong sa mga ibon,
kay bigat ng patong sa munti nilang mga pakpak.
Paano magtatanong ang isang hamak na bulaklak
sa kagitingan ng mataas at malayang agila?
Kay rami ko pang balak ibulong sa mga maya,
kung may pangarap man sila, ihahalik ko sa hiraya.
Ngunit anong magagawa ng isang payak na talulot
sa ilalim ng langit at sa ibabaw ng gumuguhong mundo?

Why are you resisting?
You know that my place is all things holy.
Deep down, you're aware I am your sanctuary.
You too, are indoctrinated, yet another skeptic.
Come inside, I might just change your mind.

Why are you fighting this?
You know that all I have is nothing but sacred.
One look up, you'll see the promised garden.
Like me, victim of religion, the wine to your bread.
Come here and hide, I might just change your life.

When the western air blows,
I still feel you close...
As lovely as spring,
how bright are the colors you bring!

With the eastern breeze winds,
I always feel you near...
As warm as summer,
how fast you bury the cold of winter!
