Aura Lyrics
[Verse 1: Unique Salonga, Zild]
Alam kong mayro’ng dinadalang lungkot
‘Di na malaman ang nadarama, nadarama
Sa huli, sana’y makita pang muli
Ang pungay ng ‘yong matang gumaganda
Nasa’n ka na?
[Chorus: Unique Salonga, Zild]
Tingnan natin nang husto (Pagmasdan mo nang maigi)
Ang makulay kong mundo (Mga tao sa paligid)
Kahit minsa’y magulo (Kahit medyo alanganin)
Yayakapin nang buo (Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin)
[Verse 2: Unique Salonga, BLASTER]
Minsan ay ‘di mo rin ba maipinta
Ang aura ng ‘yong mukha? (Aura ng ‘yong mukha)
Nagtataka (Nagtataka, nagtataka)
Nand’yan pa ba?
[Chorus: Unique Salonga, Zild]
Tingnan natin nang husto (Pagmasdan mo nang maigi)
Ang makulay kong mundo (Mga tao sa paligid)
Kahit minsa’y magulo (Kahit medyo alanganin)
Yayakapin nang buo (Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin)
[Bridge: Zild]
Oh, sa tuwing tumatakbo ang isipang magulo
Kilala mo naman akong laging kakailanganin ng pag-ibig mo
[Chorus: Unique Salonga, Zild]
Tingnan natin nang husto
Ang makulay kong mundo (Mga tao sa paligid)
Kahit minsa’y magulo (Kahit medyo alanganin)
Yayakapin nang buo (Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin)
Tingnan natin nang husto (Pagmasdan mo nang maigi)
Ang makulay kong mundo (Mga tao sa paligid)
Kahit minsa’y magulo (Kahit medyo alanganin)
Yayakapin nang buo (Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin)
[Outro: Unique Salonga, Zild]
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Ikaw pa rin ang hahanapin
Aura Lyrics English Translation
I know
you’re carrying
some sadness
Can’t seem to explain
what you’re feeling
what you’re feeling
In the end,
I wish I could see again
the sparkle in your eyes
so beautiful
Where are you now?
Let’s take a closer look
(Look a little deeper)
at my colorful world
(the people around us)
Even if it’s chaotic sometimes
(Even when things feel uncertain)
I’ll embrace it completely
(still, you’re the one I’ll be looking for)
Sometimes,
can’t you describe it either—
the aura on your face?
(The aura on your face)
It’s confusing
(Confusing)
(Confusing)
Are you still there?
Let’s take a closer look
(Look a little deeper)
at my colorful world
(the people around us)
Even if it’s chaotic sometimes
(Even when things feel uncertain)
I’ll embrace it completely
(still, you’re the one I’ll be looking for)
Ohhh…
Whenever thoughts
start running wild,
you know I’m someone
who will always need your love
Let’s take a closer look
at my colorful world
(the people around us)
Even if it’s chaotic sometimes
(Even when things feel uncertain)
I’ll embrace it completely
(still, you’re the one I’ll be looking for)
Let’s take a closer look
(Look a little deeper)
at my colorful world
(the people around us)
Even if it’s chaotic sometimes
(Even when things feel uncertain)
I’ll embrace it completely
(still, you’re the one I’ll be looking for)
You’re still the one I’ll be looking for
(You’re still the one I’ll be looking for)
(You’re still the one I’ll be looking for)
