Dilaw Lyrics

Alam mo ba muntikan na
Sumuko ang puso ko?
Sa paulit-ulit na pagkakataon
Na nasaktan, nabigo

Mukhang delikado na naman ako
O bakit ba kinikilig na naman ako?
Pero ngayon ay parang kakaiba
‘Pag nakatingin sa’yong mata, ang mundo ay kalma

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi
Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
‘Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko
Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw
Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw

‘Di akalaing mararamdaman kong muli
Ang yakap ng panahon habang
Kumakalabit ang init at sinag ng araw
(Sa gilid ng ulap)

Mukhang di naman delikado
Kasi parang ngumingiti na naman ako (Ngumingiti na naman ako)
Kaya ngayon di na ko mangangamba
Kahit anong sabihin nila

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi
Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko
Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw
Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw

Ngayong nandiyan ka na, di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi
Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti
Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko
Ngayong nandiyan ka na, di magmamadali, ikaw lang ang katabi
Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti (Hanggang sa ang buhok ay pumuti)
Di na maghahanap ng kung anong sagot sa mga tanong
Dahil ikaw ang katiyakan ko (Dahil ikaw)
Hinding-hindi na ako bibitaw, ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw (Ngayong ikaw na ang kasayaw)
Kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw
Ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw

Dilaw Lyrics in English

Did you know that it’s almost
My heart gave up?
Over and over again
Being hurt, disappointed

Looks like I’m dangerous again
Or why am I thrilled again?
But now it seems strange
When I look into your eyes, the world is calm

Now that you’re there, don’t rush, you’re the only one next door
Until the hair turns white
No more searching for answers to questions
Because you are my assurance
I will never let go, now that you are the one to dance with
If there is a color that serves as my torch
You, you are yellow

‘I didn’t think I would feel it again
The embrace of time while
The heat and rays of the sun are coming
(On the edge of the cloud)

It doesn’t seem dangerous
Because it’s like I’m smiling again (I’m smiling again)
So now I don’t worry anymore
Whatever they say

Now that you’re there, don’t rush, you’re the only one next door
Until the hair turns white
No more searching for answers to questions
Because you are my assurance
I will never let go, now that you are the one to dance with


If there is a color that serves as my torch
You, you are yellow

Now that you’re there, don’t rush, you’re the only one next door
Until the hair turns white
No more searching for answers to questions
Because you are my assurance
Now that you’re there, don’t rush, you’re the only one next door
Until the hair turns white (Until the hair turns white)
No more searching for answers to questions
Because you are my assurance (Because you are)
I’ll never let go, now that you’re the one dancing (Now that you’re the one dancing)
If there is a color that serves as my torch
You, you are yellow

Dilaw Lyrics Meaning

This song is a love song that expresses love, security, and soothing in a relationship. The lines tell a vulnerable speech of describing past pain and disappointment but all come to rest when looking into the eyes of the partner. The place where they almost gave up all hope in their heart indicates emotional stress in the past, and the presence of the partner regains the hope of safety.

The repetition of the phrase “you’re the only one next door” creates intimacy and closeness, as if this is a constant source of support in the speaker’s life. The imagery of “until the hair turns white” symbolizes a long-term commitment, hinting at the desire for a relationship that endures with time.

Yellow is a color associated with warmth, happiness, and goodness. It reveals how this person lights up the speaker’s life by being his guiding light or “torch.” The song in general talks about the strength of love. It elaborates how love heals past wounds and provides assurance when everything is uncertain. In that sense, the speaker has vowed to keep this love and enjoy the joy and peace it offers.
