[Verse 1]
Bakit napatid nung napatid kulay pulang tali
Nating nakabigkis dati sa’ting dalawa
Likas sating lumikas ‘pag bagyo’y nagbabadya
Bakit ngayon tahanan natin ay nawawala?
[Pre-Chorus]
Walang ibang galaw kung ‘di ang bumitaw
Mga paruparo sa tiyan ko ay naging barang
Walang maling galaw nung meron pang ikaw
Nagsilbing mapa ngunit ba’t ako’y iniligaw
[Chorus]
Bakit ganito? Sinanay mo ‘ko
Ta’s bigla kang lumayo
Wala nang bisa ‘yung isa, apat, tatlo
‘Eto wala na ngang tumitibok sa dibdib ko
Baka naiwan ko sa’yo
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
Hindi na ‘ko mabubuo
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
(Lipad-lipad, paroparo lipad)
[Verse 2]
Wala nang makapitang patalim, yeah
Nagyelo na ‘yung dati na mainit
Ang musika ay tila tumahimik
Kaya mo naman palang umayaw
Bakit ka pa sumama sa’kin palayo?
Diretso lang, ‘di ba? Ba’t ka lumiko?
Pa’no lalakad na sa’yo’y sulo?
Dala palayo, ngayon sa dalim ako nakatayo
[Pre-Chorus]
Walang ibang galaw kung ‘di ang bumitaw
Mga paruparo sa tiyan ko ay naging barang
Walang maling galaw nung meron pang ikaw
Nagsilbing mapa ngunit ba’t ako’y iniligaw
[Chorus]
Bakit ganito? Sinanay mo ‘ko
Ta’s bigla kang lumayo
Wala nang bisa ‘yung isa, apat, tatlo
‘Eto wala na ngang tumitibok sa dibdib ko
Baka naiwan ko sa’yo
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
Hindi na ‘ko mabubuo
(Lipad-lipad, paruparo lipad)
(Lipad-lipad, paroparo lipad)
[Outro]
Ako ang nasa dulo ng bahaghari
Langit ay hindi na sa’king labi
Pwede pa bang angkinin
Ang nawala mong pagtingin?
Dating tunay ngayon naging kunwari
Puso mong iba na ang may-ari
Ako’y aasang dadating, araw na ika’y babalik
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
[Verse 1]
Why did the red string break
That used to bind the two of us?
Naturally, we flee when storms are coming
But why is our home now gone?
[Pre-Chorus]
No other move but to let go
The butterflies in my stomach have become wasps
No wrong moves when there was still you
You served as a map, but why am I now lost?
[Chorus]
Why is it like this? You got me used to it
Then suddenly you moved away
The count of one, four, three has no effect anymore
Now there’s nothing beating in my chest
Maybe I left it with you
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
I can’t be whole anymore
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
[Verse 2]
There’s no blade to cling to anymore, yeah
What used to be warm has turned cold
The music seems to have gone silent
You could have refused,
So why did you come with me far away?
Just go straight, right? Why did you turn?
How can I walk when the torch is with you?
Now I’m standing in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
No other move but to let go
The butterflies in my stomach have become wasps
No wrong moves when there was still you
You served as a map, but why am I now lost?
[Chorus]
Why is it like this? You got me used to it
Then suddenly you moved away
The count of one, four, three has no effect anymore
Now there’s nothing beating in my chest
Maybe I left it with you
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
I can’t be whole anymore
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
(Fly, fly, butterfly fly)
[Outro]
I am at the end of the rainbow
The sky is no longer on my lips
Can I still claim
The love you lost?
What was once true has now become a pretense
Your heart now belongs to someone else
I’ll be hoping for the day you’ll come back
