Nadarang by Shanti Dope Lyrics
Chorus: Klumcee
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Bakit ba laging hinahayaan?
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Handang masaktan kung kinakailangan
Verse 1: Shanti Dope
May lakad ka ba mamaya? Pwede ka ba makasama sa paggagala?
Kung sakaling ‘di ka puwede sa bagay, meron din akong ginagawa
Siguro nga napapaisip ka, ba’t ako nangangamusta?
Ilang araw ka nang naroon sa panaginip ko nag-aalala lang ako baka sa’n ka mapunta
Pero mukhang ayos ka naman kahit ‘di na kita abalahin pa
Ilang “Ama Namin” pa ba ang dapat? Para patago kang mag-alala sa’kin (Uh)
Habang pinapantasya lamang nila ay mascara mo sa gabi at pitaka mo sa umaga
‘Yung ikaw sa likod ng kolorete pa din ang nangangahulugan sa salitang “paraiso” para sa’kin
Bakit kaya kayamanan ko pa ding kinikilala? Ang iyong pagtawa
Kahit na sa puso mo man ay ilang dosena na din ang kasya
Dati pa ‘kong pinagdamutan ng kapalaran kaya ‘di na bago sa’kin mawalan ng pag-asa
Ala-una ng umaga na naman, tawagan mo na lang ulit ako kapag hindi na kayo magkasama
Chorus: Klumcee
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Bakit ba laging hinahayaan?
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Handang masaktan kung kinakailangan

Verse 2: Shanti Dope
May lakad ka ba mamaya? Sana madaanan mo ‘ko pagkatapos
Sabihin mo ngayong ako’y makakaasang, dito ka dadalhin ng iyong sapatos
Kung ngayong gabi lang naman ang magiging dahilan ay handang-handa pa din naman ako mamaos
Nakakaluwag ka man ay sa mas nakakalibang na paraan kita tutulungan makaraos
Bakit ka nagparamdam? Siguro ‘di na kayo nilanggam
Ba’t kaya ‘di niya alam ang ‘yong halaga’t kung ga’no ka kalinamnam?
Iniwasan ko mang matakam nang ‘di halata ang hirap na magpabaya
Kapag tawag na ng laman ang nagbadya, makipaglangit-lupa ng walang taya
Mata sa mata, bibig sa bibig, mga ingay na tayo lang dalawa nakadinig
Nakatawang umidlip sa kama pero ba’t wala ka na pagsapit ng umaga?
Chorus: Klumcee
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Bakit ba laging hinahayaan?
And’yan ka na naman
Ba’t ‘di ko maiwasang tumingin sa’yong liwanag?
Nadarang na naman sa’yong apoy
Handang masaktan kung kinakailangan
English Version of Nadarang by Shanti Dope Lyrics
Chorus: Klumcee
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Why always do it
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Ready to be hurt if necessary
Verse 1: Shanti Dope
Do you have a walk later?
Can you get involved with work?
In case you can not
Well, I’m doing it too
Maybe you’re thinking about it
Why I love you
You have a few days there
I dreamed, I was worried that maybe you could
But it looks like you’re fine
I will not bother you anymore
How many fathers are we supposed to
For you to worry about (uh)
As they just fantasize
You are the mask in the night And
Your cash advance in the morning
You’re behind the colorete
It does not mean that
In the word paradise for me
Why is my wealth being recognized?
Your laughter
Even in your heart is
We are getting better now
I’ve been dying for fortune before
So it’s not new to despair
Ala first morning
Just call me again
When you are no longer together
Chorus: Klumcee
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Why always do it
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Ready to be hurt if necessary
Verse 2: Shanti Dope
Do you have a walk later?
I hope you can pass on then
Tell me now I’m so excited
Here you will take your shoes
If only tonight would be a cause
I’m still ready to work
You can be even better
Different ways to help us survive
Why do you feel
Maybe you’re not in your lap
Why so he did not know
Your value is how sweet you are
Let me avoid the obvious
The difficulty of neglecting
When a cell call is called
Contact heaven with no bets
You’re in, with the mouth
The sounds we just heard
Sleeping in bed
But are you no longer in the morning?
Chorus: Klumcee
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Why always do it
You’re here again
I can not help it look like light
It’s still a fire
Ready to be hurt if necessary
