Storm
Click to see the original lyrics (Filipino/Tagalog)
I keep forgetting that even the house is collapsing
Helping siblings who are falling
They're all continuing on, I can't leave
The future is lonely if you're not there (If you're not there)
Holding on even if it's no longer possible
(Eyes that create)
You stole the world's color
(Desiring what you bring)
It's hard to stop the heart you made whole
So let it storm (Oh)
It might not bring you back but
I'll still return to you
A bitter past that the heart erased
I imagined you, oh, an angel, imprinted
I'm forever sinking on the ground I'm standing now
Only hoping for your tears on my grave1
Holding on even if it's no longer possible
(Eyes that create)
You stole the world's color
(Desiring what you bring)
It's hard to stop the heart you made whole
So let it storm (Oh)
Might not bring you back
I'll still return to you
The heavens, sun and moon
I cursed at it all
Blood and sweat, can't be washed now2
Is this a given
Even a moment, one second
To embrace you again, is it wrong?
Even a moment, one second
To embrace you again, is it wrong?
Holding on even if it's no longer possible
You stole the world's color
(Desiring what you bring)
It's hard to stop the heart you made whole
So let it storm (Oh)
Might not bring you back
I'll still return to you

"Bagyo" usually translates to "typhoon" (the Philippines is near the northwest Pacific, hence the tropical cyclone name), but "storm" works better in the context of the lyrics ("kaya hayaang bumagyo")
