Pantropiko (English Translation) Lyrics – BINI

[Intro]
Ah…
Ah…
Ah, ah‑ah, ah.
[Verse 1]
I caught a glimpse of you
at a completely unexpected moment.
You came to me so suddenly —
as if it were no accident.
Is this destiny?
My only wish upon the stars…
Every beat of my heart
is dedicated only to you.
[Pre‑Chorus]
From tracing your footprints in the sand
to walking beside you on this island,
guided by the grip of your hand —
I feel you holding my whole world.
What is this feeling?
Oh, shux — is this already love?
Is what you made me feel real?
Because, boy, it feels so good.
[Chorus]
Every day has become happier
ever since I first saw you.
All my worries disappear
whenever you are next to me.
It feels like summer when I’m with you —
like a tropical island.
I can’t wait to go back with you
to that tropical island.
[Post‑Chorus]
Tropical, tropical, oh —
back to the tropical island.
Tropical, tropical, oh —
to the tropical island.
[Verse 2]
The day has finally arrived
when I could talk to you again.
Looking for you by my side —
you won’t leave my mind anymore.
I saw you approaching,
and my heart suddenly couldn’t rest easy.
What has really happened to me?
Will I hold on until the end?
[Pre‑Chorus]
From tracing your footprints in the sand
to walking beside you on this island,
guided by the grip of your hand —
I feel you holding my whole world.
What is this feeling?
Oh, shux — is this already love?
Is what you made me feel real?
Because, boy, it feels so good.
[Chorus]
Every day has become happier
ever since I saw you.
All my worries disappear
whenever you are by my side.
It feels like summer when I’m with you —
like a tropical island.
I can’t wait to go back with you
to that tropical island.
[Post‑Chorus]
Tropical, tropical, oh —
to the tropical island.
Tropical, tropical, oh —
to the tropical island.
[Bridge]
On this tropical island, sitting on white sand —
I guess I found my love with you.
Because with you, boy, I’m going crazy.
You could be my baby, I could be your lady.
The “kilig” you give can no longer be restrained —
it feels like my heart can’t be stopped.
Is it pounding or stopping?
My heart is getting all messed up because of you.
[Pre‑Chorus – reprise]
From tracing your footprints in the sand
to walking beside you on this island,
guided by the grip of your hand —
I feel you holding my whole world.
What is this feeling?
Oh, shux — is this already love?
Is what you made me feel real?
Because, boy, it feels so good.
[Chorus – final]
Every day has become happier
ever since I saw you.
All my worries disappear
whenever you are by my side.
It feels like summer when I’m with you —
like a tropical island.
I can’t wait to go back with you
to that tropical island.
[Post‑Chorus – outro]
Tropical, tropical, oh —
to the tropical island.
Tropical, tropical, oh —
to the tropical island.
