LYRICS (English Translation)
Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Sometimes you will feel the weight of your problem
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing "Di ko na kaya"
Sometimes you will meet hardships and feel like saying "I give up"
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Just look up in heaven
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Maybe you might find something by chance
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Perhaps you can also call me
Malalaman mong kahit kailan
You'll then know that we'll forever...
[chorus]
Hawak-kamay
Hold hands
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
I won't leave you in this journey
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Here in this world of uncertainty
Hawak-kamay
Hold hands
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
I won't let go of you in this journey
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Here in this world of loss
Minsan madarama mo
Sometimes you will feel
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
That the world is starting to crumble under your feet
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
And that your problems are sweeping you away
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Just look up in heaven
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Maybe you might find something by chance
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Perhaps you can also call me
Malalaman mong kahit kailan
You'll then know that we'll forever...
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Don't ever say that you're all alone
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Always remember that you have someone beside you
Narito ako oh, Narito ako
I'm just here, oh, I'm here
[repeat chorus]
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Here in this world of loss
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Hold hands, hold hands
Sa mundo ng kawalan
Here in this world of loss
