Translation in Filipino

intro

Hm, hm
Hm, hm

verse

I used to float, now I just fall down
Dati akong lumulutang, ngayon lang ako natumba
I used to know, but I′m not sure now
Dati alam ko, pero hindi na ako sigurado ngayon
What I was made for
Para saan ako ginawa
What was I made for?
Para saan ba ako ginawa?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Nagda-drive ako, naging ideal ako
Looked so alive, turns out I′m not real
Mukhang buhay na buhay, lumalabas na hindi ako totoo
Just somethin' you paid for
Isang bagay lang na binayaran mo
What was I made for? Hm
Para saan ba ako ginawa? Hm

pre-chorus

'Cause I, I
Dahil ako, ako
I don′t know how to feel
Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko
But I wanna try
Pero gusto kong subukan

chorus

I don′t know how to feel
Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko
But someday I might
Pero baka balang araw
Someday I might
Balang araw baka

hook

Mm, hm, ha, ah
Mm, hm, ha-ah
Hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm

verse

When did it end, all the enjoyment?
Kailan ito natapos? Lahat ng kasiyahan
I'm sad again, don′t tell my boyfriend
Nalulungkot na naman ako, wag mong sabihin sa boyfriend ko
It's not what he′s made for
Hindi ito kung para saan siya ginawa
What was I made for?
Para saan ba ako ginawa?

pre-chorus

'Cause I, ′cause I
Dahil ako, dahil ako
I don't know how to feel
Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko
But I wanna try
Pero gusto kong subukan

chorus

I don't know how to feel
Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko
But someday I might
Pero baka balang araw
Someday I might
Balang araw baka

hook

Mm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm

outro

Think I forgot how to be happy
Nakalimutan ko na yata kung paano maging masaya
Somethin′ I′m not, but somethin' I can be
Isang bagay na hindi ako, ngunit isang bagay na kaya ko
Somethin′ I wait for
Isang bagay na hinihintay ko
Somethin' I′m made for
Isang bagay na ako ay ginawa
Somethin' I′m made for
Isang bagay na ako ay ginawa
Writer(s): Finneas Baird O'connell, Billie Eilish O'connell
