Translation of the song lyrics May Pag-asa - UMPH, BLKD

May Pag-asa (original)

Madalas ka bang nag-aalangan
Kung maalwang buhay ay makakamtan
Kung magandang bukas ay madaratnan
Kung makatarungang kaunlaran
Ay mararanasan pa ng mga tulad mo
Karaniwang tao
Mga kayod-kabayo, wala mang trabaho
Mga tila pinagkaitan ng pagbabago
‘Ka mo, ginawa’t ginagawa nyo ang lahat
Buto’t bala’t banat ‘di pa rin makasapat
Pa’no aangat, ultimo pangkain ay salat
Wala nang mapasukan hahamakin pang tamad
Pwes dapat maunawaan mo
Hindi lang ikaw ang nagkakagan’to
Krisis — sa buong bayan nakadagan
Kayang wakasan basta’t laging tandaan
May-pag-a-sa
May-pag-a-sa
May mga problemang
Partikular sa bawa’t isa sa atin
Pero may mga problemang
Panlipunan, pasan-pasan nating
Lahat, kaya’t dapat maunawaan
Pagbabagong pansarili lang ay may hangganan
Kaya’t magsikap man, hangga’t pareho lang
Ang sistema, pag-angat ay kulang-kulang
Makatwiran lang na magtulungan
Upang mga hakbang ay gumaan
Nasa pagkakaisa ating kapangyarihan
Kabayanihan ating pagbabayanihan
Kaya’t tandaan ang kapalaran mo
Nakaugnay sa mga kababayan mo
Krisis — sa buong bayan nakadagan
Kayang wakasan basta’t laging tandaan
May-pag-a-sa
May-pag-a-sa
MAY makabuluhang pagbabagong
Aanihin basta’t sama-sama

May Pag-asa (translation)

Do you often hesitate?
If easy life can be achieved
If tomorrow is good, it will come
If fair development
People like you will experience more
Common person
You horsemen, there is no work
Those who seem deprived of change
You, you did and are doing everything
It's still not enough
Pa'no aangat, last meal is salad
There is no one to enter and despise the lazy
You must understand
You're not the only one having this
Crisis — in the whole town running
It can end as long as you always remember
There is hope
There is hope
There are problems
Specific to each of us
But there are problems
Society, we are burdened
Everything, therefore, must be understood
Self-transformation is limited
So try hard, as long as it's the same
The system, lifting is lacking
It only makes sense to work together
So that steps are lightened
Unity is our power
Heroism is our heroism
So remember your destiny
Connected to your countrymen
Crisis — in the whole town running
It can end as long as you always remember
There is hope
There is hope
There is a significant change
Harvest as long as it's together
