Eraserheads - Ang Huling El Bimbo / The Last El Bimbo (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
You looked just like Paraluman
When we were kids before
And you danced so beautifully
Whether it's Boogie or a Cha-cha
I think my favorite was
When you danced to the El Bimbo
It makes me shiver, it’s like a show
It makes my hair go straight

[Pre-Chorus]
After my classes were dismissed
I went into your house
And for the whole afternoon
You taught me how to dance

[Chorus]
As we held our hands together
I had no doubt in my mind
That you really had taught my heart
How to truly fall in love

[Verse 2]
My body starts to harden
When the record starts to spin
I love when your hips start to shake
As well as the sight of your eyes
My life just gets brighter
While we're holding hands with each other
And slowly, I lose my grip
When my hand starts to slip on your shoulder
Oooh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish that at that time
I had told you what I felt
Even if it's not popular
This is the only thing that I know

[Chorus]
As we held our hands together
I had no doubt in my mind
That you really had taught my heart
How to truly fall in love

[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

[Verse 3]
And many years had passed by
We didn’t see each other anymore
I heard from somewhere that you have a child
But you don't have a husband
They said you wash the plates in a place called Ermita
And one day, there was an accident
That happened on a very dark alleyway

[Pre-Chorus 3]
All my hopes for the future
Had just started to melt away
I guess my dreams are the only place
Where I could dance with you again
[Chorus]
As we held our hands together
I had no doubt in my mind
That you really had taught my heart
How to truly fall in love

[Instrumental]
