Explanation:
"hinay hinay lang" simply means "take it easy" or "woah, slow down".


"day" is shortform for "Inday", a colloquialism used to refer to a female friend, popular among Filipinos in the Visayan Islands (south of Manila).

I replaced "day" here with "daisy" in the target English to emulate the rhyming of the source Tagalog (or you could use "missy", "izzy", "lassie", etc.)
