Lyrics of Sandaklot - Asin

Sandaklot (original)

Salita, puro ka salita
Ganyan ka kaibigan na kulang sa gawa
Tingnan mo ang mata ng buong madla
Sa 'yo nakatingin dahil sa ugaling masagwa
Ito’y ugaling makikita sa tabi-tabi
Ba’t mo pa rin pinaiiral sa iyong sarili
Di mo ba alam na ika’y nahuhuli
Sa takbo ng panahon ika’y nakausli
Animo’y anghel kung magsasalita
Sa kilos nama’y di mo makikita
Taong katulad mo’y di dapat bigyan
Kahit katiting na puwang dito sa lipunan
Ang kabaitan ay di na sinasabi
Ganun din ang pagmamahal sa yong katabi
Ba’t di mo na lang gawin ang dapat gawin
Ayon sa utos na dapat sundin
Salita, puro ka salita
Ganyan ka kaibigan na kulang sa gawa
Ba’t di mo na lang gawin ang dapat gawin
Ayon sa utos na dapat sundin
Magbago ka, aking kaibigan
Kumilos ka, aking kapatid
Magbago ka

(translation)

Word, you are all words
You are such a friend who lacks action
Look into the eyes of the whole audience
Looking at you because of your bad attitude
This habit can be seen everywhere
Why do you still exist to yourself?
Don't you know that you are late?
In the course of time you have come out
You are an angel when you speak
You can't see it in action
People like you should not be given
Even a small space here in society
Kindness goes without saying
The same goes for loving your neighbor
Why don't you just do what needs to be done
According to the order to be followed
Word, you are all words
You are such a friend who lacks action
Why don't you just do what needs to be done
According to the order to be followed
Change, my friend
Act, my brother
Change yourself
