Paroles et traduction Andrew E. - Ikaw

Ikaw

Hay nako, ayan, kasi, ano?
Ang hihilig sa magagandang lalaki
Ang hihilig sa magagandang babae
Oh, ano'ng napala niyo, oh, eh 'di wala din, 'di ba?
Kaya kung ako sa inyo, makinig kayo sa sinabi ko noon
Humanap ka ng pangit at ibigin mong tunay
'Yan ang dapat mong ginawa
Kaya makinig ka sa 'kin and it goes a little something like this

16 na taon, oh kay bilis, iha
No'ng una mong marinig ang aking kanta
Kay sarap balikan, ginintuang nakaraan
Sa "Humanap ka ng pangit" ay nagkantahan
Minemorize, sinaulo ng milyon-milyong katao
Na ang importante sa lahat ay pagkatao
At hindi ang itsura na nakakalinlang
Manloloko, mandaraya kaya huwag na rin lang

Binuwag ko na'ng pagitan ng maganda at pangit
Na mula noon, nililibak at nilalait
Kinukutya, inaapi, nilalayuan
Minamaliit, tinatawanan, at tinatapak-tapakan
Pero not anymore, 'di mo na mararanasan
Ang pandirian ka na para bang isang basahan
Dahil tao ka na may dangal at halaga
Ganda ng ugaling 'di makita sa iba

Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa balat ng lupa (Say what, say what)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa buhay ko (Oh yeah, come on)

Kaya dahil sa humanap ka ng pangit, natupad
Pamilyang pinapangarap at hinahangad
Kuntento sa asawa, ngayon ay masaya
Kahit 'di sila mayaman, buhay ay maganda
And guess what? Labing-labing, gabi at araw
Maligayang samahan ay talagang abot-tanaw
Hindi panandalian, bagkus magtatagal
Humble, may puso't nakinig sa 'king pangaral

Dahil sa kaniyang pamilya, ang buhay masarap
Kuntento siya sa partner at hindi naghahanap ng iba
You know why? Kasi walang kwenta
What for? Para saan pa? Eh, okay na
Mapagmahal sa pamilya (Kami ay mabait)
Kuntento sa asawa (At wala kaming kabit)
Oh, nice, 'di ba pinapangarap niyo 'yun?
Ang magsama ang pamilya ng mahabang panahon

Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa balat ng lupa (Say what, say what)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa buhay ko (Oh yeah, come on, one more time now)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa balat ng lupa (Say what, say what)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa buhay ko

Pero sa mga lalake at babaeng 'di sa 'kin sumunod
Imbis na nagrerelax ngayon, sila'y nakaluhod
Mga lalake at babae na pinagtawanan ako
At niloko-loko nila ang awitin kong ito
Sila ngayon ang gabi-gabing binabangungot
Na sa asawa nila ay may umaasungot
Na ang lalake, may ginagawang hiwaga sa dilim
At sa asawang babae, may ibang tumitikim

'Di sila naniwala sa kanta ni Andrew E.
Kaya ngayon, broken hearted at broken family
Bugbugan, sakitan tapos no'n hiwalay
Depressed lahat at gusto na nilang pakamatay
Kaya para lumigaya ang iyong buhay
(Humanap ka ng pangit at ibigin mong tunay)
Kung hindi (Sige ka, puso mo'y mabibiyak)
At ang 'di sumunod noon, ngayon umiiyak

Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa balat ng lupa (Say what, say what)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa buhay ko (Oh yeah, come on, one more time now)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa balat ng lupa (Say what, say what)
Ikaw ang pinakamagandang (Ano?)
Babae sa buhay ko

You

Oh, there you go, see, what did I tell you?
Always chasing after handsome men
Always chasing after beautiful women
And what did you get out of it? Nothing, right?
So if I were you, listen to what I said before
Find someone ugly and love them truly
That's what you should have done
So listen to me, and it goes a little something like this

16 years, oh so fast, my dear
Since you first heard my song
It's so good to reminisce, the golden past
We sang together in "Find someone ugly"
Memorized and learned by millions of people
That what's important is the person within
And not the deceiving looks
Deceivers and cheaters, so better not

I've broken down the wall between beautiful and ugly
That since then, were ridiculed and mocked
Made fun of, bullied, and avoided
Belittled, laughed at, and trampled upon
But not anymore, you won't experience that again
Being treated like a worthless rag
Because you're a person with dignity and worth
With a beautiful character that can't be seen in others

You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman on the face of the earth (Say what, say what)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman in my life (Oh yeah, come on)

So because of "Find someone ugly," it came true
The family you dreamed of and longed for
Contented with your spouse, now you're happy
Even though you're not rich, life is beautiful
And guess what? Lovey-dovey, night and day
A happy togetherness is truly within sight
Not just temporary, but will last
Humble, with a heart, and listened to my preaching

Because of her family, life is good
She's content with her partner and not looking for someone else
You know why? Because it's pointless
What for? What else is there? It's already okay
Loving to the family (We are kind)
Content with the spouse (And we don't have affairs)
Oh, nice, isn't that what you dream of?
For the family to be together for a long time

You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman on the face of the earth (Say what, say what)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman in my life (Oh yeah, come on, one more time now)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman on the face of the earth (Say what, say what)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman in my life

But to the men and women who didn't follow me
Instead of relaxing now, they are on their knees
The men and women who laughed at me
And made fun of this song of mine
They are the ones having nightmares every night
That someone is messing with their spouse
That the man is doing some secret magic in the dark
And that someone else is tasting the wife

They didn't believe in Andrew E.'s song
So now, broken hearted and broken family
Fighting, hurting, and then separation
Everyone's depressed and they want to kill themselves
So to make your life happy
(Find someone ugly and love them truly)
If not (Be careful, your heart will break)
And those who didn't obey before are now crying

You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman on the face of the earth (Say what, say what)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman in my life (Oh yeah, come on, one more time now)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman on the face of the earth (Say what, say what)
You are the most beautiful (What?)
Woman in my life
