Lyrics and translation Pilita Corrales - Ang Pipit

Ang Pipit

May pumukol sa pipit sa sanga ng isang kahoy
At nahagip ng bato ang pakpak ng munting ibon
Dahil sa sakit, ′di na nakaya pang lumipad
At ang nangyari ay nahulog, nguni't parang taong bumigkas

"Mamang kay lupit, ang puso mo′y 'di na nahabag"
"'Pag pumanaw ang buhay ko, may isang pipit na iiyak"

"Mamang kay lupit, ang puso mo'y ′di na nahabag"
"'Pag pumanaw ang buhay ko, may isang pipit na iiyak"
"Mamang kay lupit, ang puso mo′y 'di na nahabag"
"′Pag pumanaw ang buhay ko, may isang pipit na iiyak"

The Sparrow

Someone shot a sparrow in the branch of a tree
And the stone hit the wing of the little bird
Because of the pain, it could not fly anymore
And what happened was it fell, but it spoke like a human being

"Man, you are so cruel, you have no compassion"
"'When my life ends, a sparrow will cry"

"'When my life ends, a sparrow will cry"
"Man, you are so cruel, you have no compassion"
"′When my life ends, a sparrow will cry"
