Lyrics of Ted Hannah - Parokya Ni Edgar

Ted Hannah (original)

Para kang kape, di ka nagpapatulog
Parang kagabi, gising ako hanggang tanghali
Di ko nga man lang alam kung sino ka talaga
Kailan kaya kita makikilala
At pano kung nasulat na sa notebook ng tadhana
Ang kwento ng pagibig tungkol sa ating dalawa
Di kaya sayang naman kung hindi natin susundin
Ang nais na mangyari ng tadhana para sa 'tin
Para 'kong tanga, di ko man lang naisip
Na ang pangarap ay maninitiling panaginip
Kung wala akong gawin upang makamtan ka
Paano ka tatama kung di ka tataya
At pano kung may contest na sinet-up ang tadhana
At ang unang pa-premyo ay ang makasama ka
Di kaya sayang naman kung di ko man lang susubukan
Manalo sa pa-raffle ng tadhana tan tan tan tan
Hahayaan bang mapunta ka na lamang sa iba
Nakwento ko na yata yan sa ibang kanta
At pano kung hindi ako naakit ng tadhana
E di sana ay hindi ako ang iyong sinisinta
Di kaya sayang naman kung di ko man lang susulitin
Ang alay na babae ng tadhana para sa kin

(translation)

For you coffee, you don’t sleep
Like last night, I was awake until noon
I don't even know who you really are
When will I meet you
And what if it is already written in the notebook of destiny
The love story about the two of us
Maybe it's a pity if we don't follow
Destiny wants to happen for 'tin
To my fool, I didn't even think about it
That dream is an abiding dream
If I do nothing to possess you
How do you hit if you don't hit
And what if destiny has a sinet-up contest
And the first prize is to be with you
It wouldn't be a pity if I didn't even try
Win the pa-raffle of destiny tan tan tan tan
Will you just let the others go
I think I told that story in another song
And what if I wasn't attracted to destiny
I hope I'm not the one you love
It wouldn't be a pity if I didn't even check
The sacrificial woman of destiny for me
