Salamin Salamin Lyrics by Bini
Salamin Salamin Original Filipino Lyrics
Verse 1: Maloi
Oh, hello there, misteryoso
‘Di pa rin mabasa ang ‘yong tunay na motibo, ooh-woah
Iba’ng pinapakita, taliwas sa’yong salita
Pero ayokong magduda baka lang sa simula
Refrain: Stacey, Aiah
Maghihintay na lang na ika’y dumaan
Sana ay maibsan ang aking pangungulila
Trapped in this fairytale
But I don’t wanna wake up in this dream, baby
Pre-Chorus: Colet
Ayokong umasa
Sa paniniwalang
May pag-asa nga ba
Na baka ang puso ko’y mapagbigyan?
Chorus: Jhoanna, Sheena
Mahiwagang salamin, kailan ba niya aaminin
Kaniyang tunay na pagtingin?
Mahiwagang salamin, ano ba’ng dapat gawin?
Bakit ang puso’y nabibitin?
Post-Chorus: Gwen, Mikha
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig?
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Pwede mo bang sabihin?
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig?
Salamin, salamin
Kailan niya ba ‘ko papansinin?
Verse 2: Sheena, All
Ayokong maniwala (Ayokong maniwala, ayy)
Na baka mabalewala (Oh, no, oh, no)
Pero sa’yong sulyap, mga mata’y nangungusap
‘Di ko kayang magpanggap, ano ba talaga ito?
Refrain: Gwen, Mikha
Maghihintay na lang na ika’y dumaan
Sana ay maibsan ang aking pangungulila
Trapped in this fairytale
But I don’t wanna wake up in this dream, baby
Pre-Chorus: Jhoanna
Ayokong umasa
Sa paniniwalang
May pag-asa nga ba
Na baka ang puso ko’y mapagbigyan?
Chorus: Maloi, Stacey
Mahiwagang salamin, kailan ba niya aaminin
Kaniyang tunay na pagtingin?
Mahiwagang salamin, ano ba’ng dapat gawin?
Bakit ang puso’y nabibitin?
Post-Chorus: Aiah, Colet
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig?
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Pwede mo bang sabihin?
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig?
Salamin, salamin
Kailan niya ba ‘ko papansinin?
Bridge: Mikha, Stacey, Jhoanna, Aiah, (All)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Please tell my prince charming, I’m waiting for his call
Bakit ba pasikot-sikot? Para bang pinapaikot
‘Di ko talaga ma-gets, ano ba talaga ang next move mo?
Gusto ko lang naman malaman (Malaman)
Ano ba ang katotohanan? (Oh, my)
Better say it now, it’s not too late
I’m ready to be called your princess, hey (Hey)
Pre-Chorus: Maloi
Ayokong umasa
Sa paniniwalang
May pag-asa nga ba
Na baka ang puso ko’y mapagbigyan?
Chorus: Gwen, Colet, (Maloi)
Mahiwagang salamin, kailan ba niya aaminin (Oh, aaminin)
Kaniyang tunay na pagtingin? (Ano bang sasabihin?)
Mahiwagang salamin, ano bang dapat gawin? (Gawin)
Bakit ang puso’y nabibitin?
Post-Chorus: Gwen/Aiah/Maloi/Stacey, Colet/Jhoanna/Sheena/Mikha
Salamin, salamin sa dingding (Salamin, salamin, salamin)
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig? (Anong gawin?)
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Pwede mo bang sabihin?
Salamin, salamin sa dingding
Nasa’n na ang pag-ibig?
Salamin, salamin
Kailan niya ba ‘ko papansinin? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Verse 1: Maloi
Oh hello there, mysterious
Still can’t read your true motives
What you show is different from what you say
But I don’t want to doubt
Maybe it’s just at the start
Refrain: Stacey, Aiah
I will just wait
That you pass by
I hope my loneliness will be relieved
Trapped in this fairytale
But I don’t wanna wake up in this dream, baby
Pre-Chorus: Colet
I don’t want to hope in the idea that
There’s really hope?
That maybe my heart
Will be given a chance

When will he admit
His true views
Magical mirror
What should I do?
Why is my heart left hanging?

But one look from you
Our eyes speak, I can’t pretend
