Pantropiko Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah
Ah, oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 1: Stacey]
Ikaw ay nasilayan
Sa ‘di inakalang panahon
Lumapit nang biglaan
Para bang ‘di nagkataon
Ito nga ba’y tadhana?
Tangi kong hiling sa mga tala
Mga pintig ng puso’y
Nakalaan para sa’yo

[Pre-Chorus: Mikha, Jhoanna]
From following your footprints in the sand
To walking with you on this island
Guided by the grip of your hand
I can feel you’re holding my world
Ano ba itong nadarama?
Oh, shucks, ito ba’y pag-ibig na?
Totoo ba ang pinadama?
‘Cause, boy, it feels so good

[Chorus: Maloi, Colet]
Bawat araw, mas sumasaya
Magmula nang nakita ka
Nawawalan ng pangangamba
‘Pag ika’y kapiling na
Feels like summer when I’m with you (Ooh)
Parang islang pantropiko (Oh)
Can’t wait to go back with you (Ooh)
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh)

[Post-Chorus: All, Maloi, Colet]
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh, oh-oh)
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh)

[Verse 2: Gwen]
Sumapit na ang araw (Araw)
Nang ika’y muling nakausap
Hinahanap ka sa tabi (Sa tabi)
‘Di na mawala sa isip
Nakita kang papalapit (Oh)
Puso ko’y bigla nang ‘di mapakali (Mapakali)
Ano nga ba’ng sinapit?
Kakapit ba hanggang huli? (Kakapit ba hanggang huli?)

[Pre-Chorus: Aiah, Sheena]
From following your footprints in the sand (In the sand)
To walking with you on this island
Guided by the grip of your hand (Oh)
I can feel you’re holding my world
Ano ba itong nadarama?
Oh, shucks, ito ba’y pag-ibig na?
Totoo ba ang pinadama?
‘Cause, boy, it feels so good
[Chorus: Stacey, Jhoanna]
Bawat araw, mas sumasaya
Magmula nang nakita ka
Nawawalan ng pangangamba
‘Pag ika’y kapiling na
Feels like summer when I’m with you (Ooh)
Parang islang pantropiko (Oh)
Can’t wait to go back with you (Ooh)
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh)

[Post-Chorus: All, Stacey, Jhoanna]
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh, oh-oh)
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh)

[Bridge: Mikha, Colet]
On this tropical island, sitting on the white sand
Guess I found my love with you
‘Cause with you, boy, I’m going crazy (Crazy)
You could be my baby, I could be your lady (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
‘Di na maawatan ang kilig na bigay riyan
Puso’y parang bang ‘di na mapigilan (‘Di na mapigilan)
Kumakabog o humihinto?
Gumugulo ang puso ko sa’yo (Sa’yo, sa’yo)
[Pre-Chorus: Gwen, Maloi]
From following your footprints in the sand (In the sand)
To walking with you on this island
Guided by the grip of your hand (Oh)
I can feel you’re holding my world
Ano ba itong nadarama?
Oh, shucks, ito ba’y pag-ibig na? (Oh, oh-woah-woah-woah)
Totoo ba ang pinadama?
‘Cause, boy, it feels so good (Woah-oh)

[Chorus: Sheena, Aiah, Mikha, Maloi, Colet]
Bawat araw, mas sumasaya
Magmula nang nakita ka (Oh, oh)
Nawawalan ng pangangamba
‘Pag ika’y kapiling na (Kapiling na)
Feels like summer when I’m with you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Parang islang pantropiko (Oh)
Can’t wait to go back with you (Ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh, oh)

[Post-Chorus: All, Maloi, Jhoanna]
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Oh, oh)
Pantropiko, pantropiko, oh
Sa islang pantropiko (Ooh, ooh)
