Paroles et traduction Asin - Ang Tanong

Ang Tanong

Mahirap isipin kung papaano
Ngunit ang kasagutan ay nasasaiyo
Nasaan ka sa mundong ito
Anong nagawa mo sa kapwa mo

Bakit may mga taong nanglalamang
Sa mga tao na kaunti lang ang alam
Hindi mo ba alam
Na ang buhay natin ay hiram lamang

Ba't nagkaganito
Bakit ka nandirito
Hindi mo ba nalalaman
Na iisa lang ang ating hantungan
Walang iba kundi ang libingan

Bakit ganoon ang tao sa lipunan
Marami sa kanila ang gahaman
Ang tanging hangad ay magpayaman
Di bale kahit kapwa'y matapakan

Lahat ng adhikain tungo sa kasamaan
Ngunit ang nasa bibig ay puro kabutihan
Marahas na paraan ang tanging alam
Kahit ang maykapal ay gusto pang higitan

Ba't nagkaganito
Bakit ka nandirito
Hindi mo ba nalalaman
Na iisa lang ang ating hantungan
Walang iba kundi ang libingan

Ang tanong ko ngayo'y ganito
Sa lahat na nandirito
Tingan mo ang iyong anino
Yan ba ay sa iyo

The Question

It's hard to imagine how
But the answer is yours
Where are you in this world
What you did to your mate

Why are there people who oppress
To people who know little
Don't you know
That our life is borrowed

Why has it become like this
Why are you here
Don't you know
That we have only one destination
Nothing but the grave

Why are people like that in society
Many of them are greedy
Their only aim is to get rich
Doesn't matter if their fellows are stepped on

All ambitions lead to evil
But their mouths are full of goodness
Violent ways are the only things they know
Even God they want to surpass

Why has it become like this
Why are you here
Don't you know
That we have only one destination
Nothing but the grave

My question is this
To all who are here
Look at your shadow
Is it yours
