Lyrics of Sa Aking Mga Kamay - KZ Tandingan

Sa Aking Mga Kamay (original)

Ako’y umibig ng wagas sa isang lalaking may balbas
Matipuno ang katawan mga salitang binibigkas
Mabulaklak at matamis, nakahanda na magtiis
Tila nagbagong mabilis, ihip ng hangin lumihis
Sa kulungan nagmustulang, bihag ng 'yong kasakiman
Paniniwala na sinasampay, gumagapos sa’king kamay
Ako’y umibig ng tapat sa isang makinis ang balat
Tindig kisig kanyang tangkad, laging namamangha ang lahat
Buhok n’ya na kulay ginto, kilig na 'di humihinto
Parang kalsadang lumiko mga pangarap ko’y bigo
Sa kulungan nagmustulang, bihag ng 'yong karangyaan
Kaunlarang kanyang alay, gumagapos sa’king kamay
May isang lalaking marahas, pagmamahal na patalas
Pananakit na madalas, pisngi na may pasa’t gasgas
Mga mata na kay singkit tila ba nakapikit
Latay mula sa hagupit, lagi na lang nakapiit
Sa kulungan nagmustulang, bihag ng 'yong kalupitan
Kayamanan na tinataglay, gumagapos sa’king kamay
Nagmahal ng tatlong beses umibig at nasawi
Kuting na iniligaw upang 'di makauwi
Parang sayang sayad sa putik na 'di maitupi
Parang sayang naman kaya sinubukan na lang uli
Nang makilala ko si Juan ay maayos naman
Akay-akay ang aking kamay pababa ng hagdan
Direcho sa mga mata pilit pinagmamasdan
Umabot sa punto na hinayaan ko na ako’y hagkan
Ibinigay ang lahat kasabay ng pag-aakala
Na ang lalaking ito ang tunay na mag-aalaga
Eto pa, siya daw ang palaging bahala
Nasan na bakit pa laging ako ang kawawa
Ibinentang parang tupa sa kung kani-kanino
Magbayad ka lang ng upa halika pwede ka dito
Inanakan ng inanakan ng mga matalino
Nakatago sa anino mabaho kahit maligo
Kinalbo n’yang aking buhok
Ang lason ay pinalunok
Ang pusong 'di na tumitibok
Hagdan ng bahay ko’y marupok
Sinangla nyang aking ginto
Maging ang luha ko’t dugo
Parusang walang hinto
Ako’y sadya nga bang bigo
Sa kulungan nagmistulang bihag ng 'yong kasakiman
Pagtitiwala na nakasampay, gumagapos sa’king kamay
Nakagapos ang aking kamay

(translation)

I fell completely in love with a man with a beard
Strong body words spoken
Floral and sweet, ready to endure
It seems to have changed quickly, a gust of wind has deviated
In the prison you appear, captive of your greed
Belief that is being hanged, bound by your hand
I fell in love with someone with smooth skin
His tall stature always amazes everyone
Her hair is golden, the excitement doesn't stop
Like a road that turns, my dreams are failed
In the prison it seemed, captive of your luxury
His offering flourishes, binds to your hand
There is a man violent, love sharp
Frequent pain, bruised and scratched cheeks
Narrow eyes seem to be closed
Lazy from the whipping, always stuck
In the prison he appeared, a prisoner of your cruelty
Wealth that is held, binds in your hand
Loved three times fell in love and died
A kitten that got lost so it can't go home
It's like a waste of mud that can't be folded
It seems like a waste so just try again
When I met Juan it was fine
My hand led me down the stairs
Directly in the eyes trying to observe
It got to the point where I let him kiss me
Everything is given with an assumption
That this man will truly care
Besides, he always takes care of it
Why am I always the poor one?
Sold like sheep to everyone
Just pay the rent and come here
Born of the born of the wise
Hiding in the shadows it stinks even if you take a bath
My hair went bald
The poison is swallowed
The heart no longer beats
The stairs of my house are fragile
He pawned my gold
Be my tears and blood
Unrelenting punishment
I'm really disappointed
In prison, your greed seems to be a captive
Confidence that hangs, binds your hand
My hand is tied
