Torete Lyrics by Moonstar88
Verse 1
Sandali na lang, maaari bang pagbigyan?
Aalis na nga, maaari bang hawakan ang iyong mga kamay?
Sana ay maabot ng langit ang ‘yong mga ngiti
Sana ay masilip
Refrain
‘Wag kang mag-alala, ‘di ko ipipilit sa’yo
Kahit na lilipad ang isip ko’y torete sa’yo
Verse 2
Ilang gabi pa nga lang nang tayo’y pinagtagpo
Na parang may tumulak nanlalamig, nanginginig na ako
Akala ko nung una may bukas ang ganito
Mabuti pang umiwas, pero salamat na rin at nagtagpo
Chorus
Torete, torete, torete ako
Torete, torete, torete sa’yo
Refrain
‘Wag kang mag-alala, ‘di ko ipipilit sa’yo
Kahit na lilipad ang isip ko’y torete sa’yo
Chorus
Torete, torete, torete ako
Torete, torete, torete ako

Torete, torete sa’yo
English Translation of The Song Torete by Moonstar88
Verse 1
Just a moment, can I have a moment?
I’m leaving, can I hold your hands?
I hope your smiles reach the sky
I hope you can catch a glimpse
Refrain
Don’t worry, I won’t force you
Even if my mind flies, I’ll be your tower
Verse 2
It was only a few nights ago when we met
As if someone pushed me, I’m cold, I’m already shivering
I thought at first that something like this would happen tomorrow
It would be better to avoid, but thank God we met
Chorus
I’m a tower, a tower
I’m a tower, a tower
I’m a tower
Refrain
Don’t worry, I won’t force you
Even if my mind flies, I’ll be your tower
Chorus
I’m a tower, a tower
I’m a tower
I’m a tower

I’m a tower, a tower
I’m a tower, a tower to you, ooh-oh
Torete, to you
