[Verse 1]
Noong una ikaw ang aking mundo
Before, you were my world
Ikaw ang dahilan ng bawat ngiti ko
You were the reason for every smile of mine
Mga pangarap natin ay kay tamis
Our dreams were so sweet
Akala ko'y pag-ibig na walang kapalit
I thought it was a love without equal
Ngunit ang puso'y nagbago nang hindi sinasadya
But my heart unexpectedly changed
May dumating na iba sa aking buhay
Someone else came into my life
Piliting labanan ang nararamdaman
I tried to fight the feeling
Ngunit puso ko'y hindi na mapigilan
But my heart could no longer be stopped
[Chorus]
Ikaw ang mahal ko, pero may mahal na ako ngayon
You are my love, but I have someone I love now
Pasensya ka na kung puso ko'y nagbago
I'm sorry if my heart changed
Hindi ko ginustong ikaw ay masaktan
I didn't want to hurt you
Pero may ibang taong minamahal
But there's another person I love
Ikaw ang kahapon, siya ang ngayon
You are yesterday, he/she is today
Kahit mahirap, kailangan kong aminin
Even if it's hard, I need to admit it
May puwang ka pa rin sa aking puso
You still have a space in my heart
Pero hindi na ikaw ang pipiliin ko
But I won't choose you anymore
[Verse 2]
Sana maintindihan mo ang aking dahilan
I hope you understand my reason
Hindi madali ang ganitong nararamdaman
This feeling is not easy
Ayokong paasahin ang puso mong tapat
I don't want to give false hope to your loyal heart
Kung ang pagmamahal ko'y hindi na sapat
If my love is no longer enough
[Chorus]
Ikaw ang mahal ko, pero may mahal na ako ngayon
You are my love, but I have someone I love now
Pasensya ka na kung puso ko'y nagbago
I'm sorry if my heart changed
Hindi ko ginustong ikaw ay masaktan
I didn't want to hurt you
Pero may ibang taong minamahal
But there's another person I love
[Bridge]
Kung maibabalik lang ang kahapon
If only yesterday could be brought back
Pipiliin kong huwag kang paasahin ngayon
I would choose not to give you false hope now
Salamat sa lahat ng ating pinagsamahan
Thank you for all our time together
Mananatili kang alaala ng nakaraan
You will remain a memory of the past
[Final Chorus – Emotional]
Ikaw ang mahal ko, pero may mahal na ako ngayon
You are my love, but I have someone I love now
Masakit mang sabihin, ito ang katotohanan
Though it's painful to say, this is the truth
Sana balang araw ay mapatawad mo ako
I hope someday you can forgive me
Dahil minahal kita, pero iba na ang puso ko.
Because I loved you, but my heart is different now.
[Outro]
Ikaw ang kahapon...
You are yesterday...
Siya ang ngayon...
He/she is today...
At ikaw ay mananatili
And you will remain
Sa alaala ng kahapon...
In the memory of yesterday...
