AHHH! This song is a loaded one and I haven’t had the bandwidth to translate it in English. But this is basically about how I felt in my country before leaving. “TAMA NA” means THAT’S ENOUGH in English which could both mean: “enough” in worth and “enough” signifying that you cannot take anymore and you’ve “had” enough of something or a situation.

This song has been picked to be played on the Real Housewives: UltimateGirlsTrip (and I don’t watch this show) - but as the lyrics and meaning to the song is quite deep, I’d like to bring it here to give it more room to breathe.

I’ll write more about this song when I’m mentally ready xx

Thank you for listening/reading!!:)

CHORUS (first 5 grungy seconds)
Ayaw ko na dito 2x
Tinatarantado
Tama na

VERSE (0.06-0.13)
Binuhos ko // ang puso ko
Nilamon ako / ng pag-ibig mo-binigay
lahat / sayo’ng’ sayo
Pero nasa’n ka?

Akala ko’y / ika’y akin
Langit ka’t / mga bituin
Nangakong di / bibiguin-ginawa mo akong tanga

PRECHORUS (0.24 - 0.42f Shimmery shimmery sounding 1)
Sabi mo sa akin
Isa’ng ating pangarap
Pinangako mo sa akin
Magkasama sa hirap
Ako’y naniwala sa’yo
Ngunit ngayon

Ayaw ko na dito 2x
At natarantado
Tama na!

CHORUS (0.43 – 1.02 grungy chorus; 1.03 - 1.06 HEAVY BEATS)

VERSE 2 (1.07-1.26)
Baliko ang katawan, pati na ang isipan
Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang kasiyahan
Akala ko’y may patutunguhan pero
Parang umiikot-ikot lang tayo

Bilog na pinipilit maging tatsulok
Nakausli at kungsa’n-san na lang sumusuot
Bawat hugis, bawat sukat ang sinubok pero
Parang umiikot-ikot lang tayo

You let me down
You let me drown
Your broken promises
Keep ringing in my ear
Now I’m singing out

TRACK on the preview is by the wonderful Nick Kingsley of Tut Tut Child but the stems are not provided as we only own the topline xx
