NANDITO AKO
Mayroon akong nais malaman
There's something I want to know
Maaari bang magtanong
May I ask a question?
Alam mo bang matagal na kitang iniibig
Did you know that I've been loving you a long time?
Matagal na 'kong naghihintay
I've been waiting a long time
Ngunit mayroon kang ibang minamahal
But you love someone else
Kung kaya't ako'y di mo pinapansin
Which is why you don't notice
Ngunit ganun pa man nais kong malaman mo
And yet I want you to know
Ang puso kong ito'y para lang sa iyo
This heart of mine is only for you
Refrain:
Nandito ako umiibig sa iyo
I'm here, loving you
Kahit na nagdurugo ang puso
Though my heart is bleeding
Kung sakaling iwanan ka niya
If she should ever leave you
Huwag kang mag-alala
Don't worry
May nagmamahal sa iyo
Someone loves you
Nandito ako
I'm here
Kung ako ay iyong iibigin
If you were to love me
Di kailangan ang mangamba
No need to worry
Pagka't ako ay para mong alipin
Because I'm your slave
Sa iyo lang wala nang iba
Only for you, no one else
Ngunit mayroon kang ibang minamahal
Kung kaya't ako'y di mo pinapansin
Ngunit ganun pa man nais kong malaman mo
Ang puso kong ito'y para lang sa iyo
Nandito ako umiibig sa iyo
Kahit na nagdurugo ang puso
Kung sakaling iwanan ka niya
Huwag kang mag-alala
May nagmamahal sa iyo
Nandito ako
Nandito ako umiibig sa iyo
Kahit na nagdurugo ang puso
Kung sakaling iwanan ka niya
Huwag kang mag-alala
May nagmamahal sa iyo
Nandito ako
