Translation of the song lyrics Dahilan - Sarah Geronimo

Dahilan (original)

Sinubukan ko namang itago
Pero hindi nagbabago
Ang nadarama sa tuwing kasama ka, sigurado ang puso
Gusto ko lang naman iklaro
Kung tayo na hanggang dulo
Nagtatanong kung bakit napakasakit na ika’y ginugusto
Kong makasama sa eksena
Hinahamon ang tadhanang
Nakatakda sa atin, ‘di pinapansin ang sinasabi ng mundong
Ginagalawan, ano’ng batayan
Ng tamang pag-ibig?
Ayoko nang magisip ‘pag kalakip ay problema
Basta ang alam ko lang
Masaya, malungkot, ikaw ang dahilan
Matuwa, mayamot, ikaw ang dahilan
Hindi alam ang sagot, ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
Hanggang sa dapithapon, ikaw ang dahilan
Bukas o kahapon, ikaw ang dahilan
Taon taon at ngayon, ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
Kung kaya lang naman iplano
At ihanda na ang puso
Sa pangaabuso, ‘di pa natututo, ikaw parin sa’kin ang taong
Mahalaga, nagdadala
Ng ngiti sa mga labi
Hinulog ka ng langit para makamit ang puso kong ito
Masaya, malungkot, ikaw ang dahilan
Matuwa, mayamot, ikaw ang dahilan
Hindi alam ang sagot, ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
Hanggang sa dapithapon, ikaw ang dahilan
Bukas o kahapon, ikaw ang dahilan
Taon taon at ngayon, ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
Bridge
Sawa na sa mga pangakong ‘di natutupad
At ang pag-ibig ay hindi puwedeng agad agad
Kung kinakailangan kong ipaglaban
Kaya kong subukan
Alam mo ‘yan
Masaya, malungkot, ikaw ang dahilan
Matuwa, mayamot, ikaw ang dahilan
Hindi alam ang sagot, ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
Hanggang sa dapithapon, ikaw ang dahilan
(Sana'y alam mo na, ikaw na nga, hinahanap ng puso ko)
Bukas o kahapon, ikaw ang dahilan
Taon taon at ngayon, ikaw ang dahilan (ikaw ang dahilan)
Ikaw ang dahilan
Ikaw ang dahilan
(Ikaw lang, Ikaw lang, Ikaw lang)
Ikaw ang dahilan (Ikaw lang)
Ikaw ang dahilan

Dahilan (translation)

I tried to hide it
But that doesn’t change
The feeling every time you are with, sure is the heart
I just want to be clear
If we go to the end
Asking why it hurts so much to like you
I can be on the scene
Destiny is challenged
It is up to us, ‘ignoring what the world is saying
Carried out, what is the basis
Of the right love?
I don’t want to think ‘attachment is a problem
Just what I know
Happy, sad, you are the reason
Excited, bored, you are the reason
Don’t know the answer, you are the reason
You are the reason
Until dusk, you are the reason
Tomorrow or yesterday, you are the reason
Year after year and now, you are the reason
You are the reason
If only I could plan
And prepare the heart
In abuse, ‘unlearned, you’re still my man
Important, bearing
A smile on the lips
You fell from heaven to win this heart of mine
Happy, sad, you are the reason
Excited, bored, you are the reason
Don’t know the answer, you are the reason
You are the reason
Until dusk, you are the reason
Tomorrow or yesterday, you are the reason
Year after year and now, you are the reason
You are the reason
Bridge
Tired of ‘unfulfilled’ promises
And love cannot be instantaneous
If I have to fight
I could try
You know that
Happy, sad, you are the reason
Excited, bored, you are the reason
Don’t know the answer, you are the reason
You are the reason
Until dusk, you are the reason
(I hope you know, it's you, my heart is looking for)
Tomorrow or yesterday, you are the reason
Year after year and now, you are the reason (you are the reason)
You are the reason
You are the reason
(Just you, just you, just you)
You are the reason (You alone)
You are the reason
