I

Tingnan Tingnan

Unang kasalanan 

Tingnan Tingnan

Tayo na sa Umpisa

II

At Baka di na nangyari ang ganito

Labis na galit sa mga mata mo

Mga salita na di mababawi

Mga daang di na tatahakin

III

Dun sa umpisa

sa mga ngiti mong kay ganda

Ang boses mong naglalambing

sadyang nagpapasigla

IV

Mga oras na di natin gustong matapos

Mga sandaling atin pang naaayos.

Wala na at di na matingnan

Sa dulo ang tama wala sa umpisa.

I

If I spiral out of control sometimes

would you be there to catch me?

Will you stop my descent into that blackness?

Will be the one to save me from madness?

II

I grow wary of the silence from your lips

You stay where you are and look at me

I reach your hand and feel the cold that is there

and you grip mine in return in tell me

III

Hands that are cold does not mean hearts that are cold

And things promised when young can be kept till we are old

And you smile despite that eerie silence 

And you say that I'll know when you whisper my name.
