Nandito Ako – I’m Here

Artist: Lea Salonga

Mayroon akong nais malaman,
(There is something I want to know)
Ma-aari bang magtanong?
(May I ask a question)
Alam mo bang
(Did you know?)
Matagal na kitang ini-ibig,
(I have been loving you for a long time)
Matagal na’kong naghihintay.
(I have been waiting for a long time)

II.
Ngunit mayroon kang ibang minamahal,
(however, you love someone else)
Kung kaya’t ako’y ‘di mo pinapansin.
(that is why you do not notice me)
Ngunit ganoon pa man, nais kong malaman mo,
(however, even  though there is something I want you to know)
Ang puso kong ito’y para lang sa’yo.
(my heart is only for you )

Chorus:
Nandito ako
(I’m here )
Umi-ibig sa’yo, kahit na nag-durugo ang puso.
(loving you, even though my heart is bleeding)
Kung sakaling iwanan ka niya,
(if ever she/he leaves you)
Huwag kang mag-alala, may nag-mamahal sa’yo.
(don’t worry, there’s someone who loves you)
Nandito ako.
(I’m here)

III.
Kung ako ay iyong iibigin
(If you were to love me)
‘Di kailangan ang mangamba.
(no need to worry)
‘Pagkat ako ay para mong alipin.
(because I’m like your slave)
Sa iyo lang wala nang iba.
(only for you and no one else)

Repeat II.
Repeat chorus twice.
