Ikigai Lyrics
[Intro: Dionela]
If Eden defines what home should be
Then paradise is you and me
[Verse 1: Dionela]
Thinking ’bout the days you’re only
All I had no fame, no luck (You’re all I need)
Tell me, is it too much if I give you everything?
Maybe that’s how you mean to me (But let me tell you, babe)
I’m not an angel, sometimes we’ll fight
It’s a part of it, so baby don’t worry, no
[Chorus: Dionela]
Ooh, it’s not perfection
That make things so beautiful
Just like all your flaws and curves
Oh, girl, it makes you who you are
Darling, all the stars are glowing
‘Cause they’re burning in the sky
Oh, I know this life ain’t easy
But it made me realize (Oh, baby)
[Post-Chorus: Dionela]
Soul tied, my ikigai, you are to me
Hinga’t hingalo ikaw ang sanhi
If Eden defines what home should be
Then paradise is you and me
[Verse 2: Loonie]
I’m feeling like I’ve known you from a previous life
If you’re the counterpoint to my soul, I wouldn’t be surprised
Jesus Christ, I fell for you faster that the speed of light
You’re my ikigai, the reason why I feel alive, you cast my fears aside
You give me peace of mind, no need to lie
I heave a sigh every time that I see you smile
Baby I just wanna treat you right, show you I’m a decent guy
But when it’s demon time lahat-lahat ibibigay
Nais kitang dalhin sa lugar na kung sa’n tayo lang
Basahin sa’yo ang mga liham ni Andres kay Ka Oriang
Ang taong siyang kabiyak ng aking pagkatao, sa’yo lang natagpuan
Kambal ng kaluluwa ko at katuwang
Alam mo bang pag-ibig ko sa’yo’y walang katapusan
Malagutan man ako ng hangin kahit pa mabuang
Pagpaumanhin mo na lang muna ang aking kabaduyan
Dala ‘to ng aking pagka-bighani kung alam mo lang
[Chorus: Dionela]
Ooh, it’s not perfection
That make things so beautiful
Just like all your flaws and curves
Oh, girl, it makes you who you are
Darling, all the stars are glowing
‘Cause they’re burning in the sky
Oh, I know this life ain’t easy
But it made me realize (Oh, baby)
[Post-Chorus: Dionela]
Soul tied, my ikigai, you are to me
Hinga’t hingalo ikaw ang sanhi
If Eden defines what home should be
Then paradise is you and me
[Outro: Dionela, Loonie]
I wanna love you forever (Love you forever)
Let’s do this together (Do this together)
Then paradise is you and me
Dala ‘to ng aking pagka-bighani kung alam mo lang
Then paradise is you and me
Dala ‘to ng aking pagka-bighani kung alam mo lang
Ikigai Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Dionela]
In the opening lines, Dionela introduces the metaphor of Eden to represent an ideal home, equating paradise not with a physical place but with the intimate bond between two people. This sets the tone for a song centered on deep connection, grounding the listener in a sense of emotional sanctity.
[Verse 1: Dionela]
Dionela reflects on a time when love was his only certainty, before fame or fortune. He expresses a desire to give his all to his partner, even acknowledging that he isn’t perfect and that conflict may arise. The verse underscores honesty and the willingness to embrace the highs and lows of a relationship, emphasizing commitment over perfection.
[Chorus: Dionela]
The chorus highlights the song’s core message—that beauty lies not in flawlessness but in authenticity. Dionela praises his partner’s imperfections, recognizing them as essential to her identity. The lyrics also touch on the challenges of life, suggesting that struggle brings clarity and strengthens love, symbolized by stars glowing because they burn.
[Post-Chorus: Dionela]
Here, Dionela uses the concept of “ikigai” to describe his partner as his purpose in life. The mix of English and Filipino (“hinga’t hingalo ikaw ang sanhi”) deepens the emotional resonance, expressing that his partner is the reason for every breath he takes. He returns to the Eden metaphor, reinforcing the idea that paradise is found in their togetherness.
[Verse 2: Loonie]
Loonie delivers a poetic rap verse filled with metaphors and historical references. He speaks of a soul connection that feels timeless, describing his partner as the counterpart to his spirit. With references to Andres Bonifacio and Ka Oriang, he roots his affection in cultural depth and revolutionary passion. The verse captures both romantic idealism and raw vulnerability, revealing how deeply his love affects him, even to the point of overwhelming devotion.
[Chorus: Dionela]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces its message, creating an emotional anchor in the song. Dionela reiterates that imperfections and struggles don’t diminish love—they define and elevate it, making it real and resilient.
[Post-Chorus: Dionela]
The post-chorus again frames the beloved as Dionela’s ikigai. The lyrical structure and repetition emphasize emotional dependency and the completeness found in shared existence, once more drawing the parallel between personal paradise and romantic unity.
