Translation of the song Saglit artist Moira dela Torre

Filipino/Tagalog

Saglit

English translation

Moments

Malayo man ang distansya

Though the distance may be wide

Di man marinig ang boses mong aking nakasanayan

Though I couldn't hear your voice that I've gotten used to

Pipikit nalang muna

I shall close my eyes for a while instead

At papagalingin ang mga mata sa kaluluha

And let my eyes heal from all the crying

At hihinga ng malalim

And take a deep breath

At papakalmahin ang patalim

And soothe my knife

Tapos na ang laban

The battle is over/lost

Salamat sa saglit

Thanks for the moments

Salamat sa sakit

Thanks for the pain

Ako'y di magsisisi

I shall not regret (it)

Kahit di ka na sa akin

Even though you're not mine anymore

Kung bukas man ako ay lilingon

Should I ever (decide to) look back (on the past) tomorrow

Makikita sa tabi sa minsa'y sandali kang naging akin

I would see you there beside me; that you'd been mine even for a moment

Sa paghulma ng paalam

When we formed our goodbyes

Di man madama ang pagbitaw ng 'yong mga kamay

Though I did not feel your hands let go (of it)

Pipikit nalang muna

I shall close my eyes for a while instead

Iiwas ng tingin

Turn my eyes away

At aatras bago it bawiin

And retreat, before I (decide to) take it back

At hihinga ng malalim

And take a deep breath

At papakalmahin ang patalim

And soothe my knife

Tapos na ang laban

The battle is over/lost

Salamat sa saglit

Thanks for the moments

Salamat sa sakit

Thanks for the pain

Ako'y di magsisisi

I shall not regret (it)

Kahit di ka na sa akin

Even though you're not mine anymore

Kung bukas man ako ay lilingon

Should I ever (decide to) look back (on the past) tomorrow

Makikita sa tabi sa minsa'y sandali kang naging akin

I would see you there beside me; that you'd been mine even for a moment

At sa pagbawi ng tadhana

And when fate took (you) back/away

Masakit man magpalaya

Though it hurt to set you free

Doon ako kung san ka sasaya

I'd always go for where you could be happy

Kung san ka malaya...

Where you could be free
