| Hawak ang iyong kamay sa pag lapag
| Hold your hand on the floor
|
| Sa mundong hindi tanggap ang ating pagsasama
| In the world our union is not accepted
|
| Maraming salita. | Many words. |
| Sa harap, sa kanan, at kaliwa
| In front, on the right, and on the left
|
| Ngunit hindi matitinag
| But unmoved
|
| (Pagka't mga puso natin handa)
| (Because our hearts are ready)
|
| Sigaw nilang lahat (mga bata pa kayo)
| They all screamed (you kids)
|
| Dami niyong kailangan malaman
| You need to know a lot
|
| Musmos palang kami (ganito na ang buhay)
| We're just babies (this is life)
|
| Ito na ang katotohanan
| This is the truth
|
| Pinili mong kumayod, upang suportahan
| You choose to scrub, to support
|
| Ang aking pag-aaral, ang ating hinaharap
| My education, our future
|
| Hindi tayo takot (kahit na mahirap ang)
| We are not afraid (even when it is difficult)
|
| Mundo ay iikot
| World will spin
|
| Walang alinlangan (Basta ba kasama ka)
| Without a doubt (As long as you're with me)
|
| Kahit na gutom (Basta ba kasama ka, Basta ba kasama ka)
| Even if I'm hungry (As long as I'm with you, As long as I'm with you)
|
| Hawak ang iyong kamay, pauwi
| Hold your hand, go home
|
| Mula sa araw na ka’y haba
| From the day you were long
|
| Kahit na mahirap ang buhay basta’t makasama ka
| Even if life is hard as long as you are with me
|
| Sa dilim, may nag mamasid
| In the darkness, someone is watching
|
| Dinig ang baril na kinakasa
| Heard the gun being fired
|
| Sa pag putok ay ninakaw ka nila
| In the shot they stole you
|
| At pagpikit ng iyong mata…
| And closing your eyes…
|
| Hindi kita maiwang (dumudugo)
| I can't leave you (bleeding)
|
| Hindi kita maiwan
| I can't leave you
|
| Hawak ang iyong bangkay sa pagpatak ng mga luha
| Holding your dead body in tears
|
| Di ko parin tanggap na wala ka na
| I still can't accept that you are gone
|
| Anong magagawa?
| What can be done?
|
| Giliw ako’y takot (pagkat mahirap ang)
| I'm afraid (because it's difficult)
|
| Mundo ay iikot nang wala ka na (Bakit ba kinuha ka?)
| The world will turn without you (Why did you take it?)
|
| Ang dami kong tanong | I have so many questions |
| (Bakit ba kinuha ka?)
| (Why did you get hired?)
|
| Bakit ba ka kinuha ka sa akin?
| Why did you take me?
|
| Hawak ang mumunting kinita mula sa araw na ka’y haba
| Holding the little earnings from the day you were long
|
| Tila nalulunod sa hirap, may pagasa pa kaya?
| It seems to be drowning in hardship, is there still hope?
|
| Sa dilim may nag mamasid at dinig ang baril na kinakasa
| In the darkness someone watched and heard the gun being fired
|
| Sa pag putok, ang sakit ay dama
| In the shot, the pain is felt
|
| Sa pagpikit ng aking
| With the closing of my eyes
|
| Mata…
| eyes…
|
| Ang buhay ba namin barya para sa katulad nila
| Is our life a coin for someone like them?
|
| Walang laman-tiyan pero katawan nami’y punong-puno ng tingga
| Our stomachs are empty but our bodies are full of lead
|
| Karahasan ba ang sagot? | Is violence the answer? |
| Karapatan ba ay limot?
| Is it a right to forget?
|
| Anong dahilan? | What reason? |
| Anong dahilan ba nito?
| What is the reason for this?
|
| Sa huli, magkatabi silang ililibing
| In the end, they will be buried side by side
|
| Wagas na pagiibigan kinitil
| Pure love taken
|
| Sa pagsara ng kabaong nila…
| With the closing of their casket…
|
| Ang hustiya ba’y bulag (dumudugo)
| Is the judge blind (bleeding)
|
| At nalulunod sa dugo?
| And drowning in blood?
|
| Holding your hand as we make our way
| Holding your hand as we make our way
|
| In this world that doesn’t accept our love
| In this world that doesn't accept our love
|
| So many words. | So many words. |
| To our faces, on our right, to the left
| To our faces, on our right, to the left
|
| But it never fazed us

|
| (Because our hearts were ready)

| They all screamed (you're too young)
