Imago: Sundo (lyrics with English translation)

Song: Sundo (To get you)
Artist: Imago

(Filipino lyrics translated to English, copyright 2012)

Kay tagal kong sinuyod ang buong mundo

Para hanapin, para hanapin ka

Nilibot ang distrito ng iyong lumbay

Pupulutin, pupulutin ka

For a long time, I’ve searched the world to find you

I wandered down the district of your sorrow

To get you

Sinusundo kita, sinusundo

I’m here to get* you. / I’m here to fetch you.

Asahan mong mula ngayon, pag-ibig ko’y sa iyo

Trust that from now on, my love is yours.

Sa akin mo isabit ang pangarap mo

Di kukulangin ang ibibigay

Isuko ang kaba

Tuluyan kang bumitaw

Ika’y manalig, manalig ka.

Drape your dreams on me

What I have to give will never be lacking.

Surrender your fears, let go completely.

Don’t be scared, let go completely.

Have faith, have faith.

  

Handa na sa liwanag mo

Sinuyod ang buong mundo**

Maghihintay sa ‘yong sundo

I’m ready to receive your light.

I’ve searched the world**

and I will wait for you to get me.

  

Asahan mo, Asahan mo

Asahan mong mula ngayon pag-ibig ko’y sa iyo

Asahan mo

Trust that from now on, my love is yours.

Note: 

*"Sundo" (verb) literally translates to fetch, just as a parent fetches a child from class, or how a lover picks up a loved one from work or for a tryst. The song uses sundo to highlight how the singer fetches the loved one so they can get to a figurative place or state of being together.

**"Suyod" means a thorough effort of finding something or someone, by searching every nook and cranny and not leave a place overturned. Sinuyod is the past tense of suyod.
