Paroles et traduction Gloc-9 feat. Jaq Dionisio - Kung Tama Siya

Kung Tama Siya

Lahat ay ginawa ko
Lahat ay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya
Ano ang napala ko
Pati buhay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya

Tinta at panulat ang ginamit
Sa mga pahina ng libro ibinuhos ang galit
Nag-aral ng matuwid parang sangi sa aking anit
′Sang dalubhasang nahasa sa hasang na kay pangit
Ng amoy nung ako'y magpasyang ituloy
Ang pag sulat ng talata na mag sisilbing apoy
Sa bawat isang Pinoy na lubog sa kumunoy
Ng dayuhan ang mga balot sa kumot na tisoy

Kahit na sabi nila ako′y hindi pumapalag
Ang aking pagsulat ay isang gawain ng duwag
Bakit kailangang magpatayan ng maghapot magdamag
Kung sa kalaban ay bato at ang sandata mo'y libag
Makalipas ang isang daang taon at limampu
Ano ang aking namasdan ano ang aking natanto
Para bang ang panahon mula noon ay huminto
Sino na bang nakadaan sa nakasaradong pinto

Ito ba ang talagang gusto kong kahinatnan
Tandaan mo ang laman ng isang kasabihan
Aanhin mo ang kalayaan ng mga tinatapakan
Kung bukas sila naman ang siyang maghahari-harian

Lahat ay ginawa ko
Lahat ay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya
Ano ang napala ko
Pati buhay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya

Ito ang sa tingin ko'y tama
At ang siyang nararapat
Pero teka lang... (Pano kung tama siya)
Sa kanila′y huwag kang maawa
Yan lang ang syang nararapat
Pero teka lang... (Pano kung tama siya)

Ako′y isang batang Tondo na anak ng mananahi
At sa edad na katorse mga braso'y natali
′Di man natapos sa eskwela nagpatuloy magbasa
Nakadampot ng karunungan at namulat ang mata
Na ang nagaganap sa aking kapaligiran ay mali
At ang tanging sagot sa malalim na sugat ay tahi
Silang alipin ng ginto at amoy ng salapi
Mga dayuhan na dahilan ng maraming pighati

Abuso at kalupitan hindi mo dapat pagtakpan
Kung hindi ka lumaban wala kang dapat pagtakhan
Ayaw nilang magparaya may humaharang sa daan
Wala nang pakiusapan di mo subukang tadyakan
Dahil ang kinakayankayanan lamang ay mahina
Subukan mong sumigaw kahit maputulan ng dila
Ibinuwis aming buhay, natunaw ang kandila
At nagbago nang itsura ng tinaas na bandila

Ito ba ang talagang gusto kong kahinatnan
Kung iisipin ang laman ng isang kasabihan
Aanhin mo ang kalayaan ng mga tinatapakan
Kung bukas sila naman ang siyang maghahari-harian

Lahat ay ginawa ko
Lahat ay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya
Ano ang napala ko
Pati buhay tinaya ko
Para sa bayan ko
Pero teka, pano kung tama siya

Ito ang sa tingin ko'y tama
At ang siyang nararapat
Pero teka lang... (Paano kung tama siya)
Sa kanila′y huwag kang maawa
Yan lang ang siyang nararapat
Pero teka lang... (Paano kung tama siya)

Ito ang sa tingin ko'y tama
At ang siyang nararapat
Pero teka lang...
Sa kanila′y huwag kang maawa
Yan lang ang siyang nararapat
Pero teka lang... (Paano kung tama siya)

If He's Right

I did everything
I risked everything
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?
What have I gained?
I even risked my life
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?

Ink and pen were used
Anger was poured into the pages of the book
Studied righteously like a louse on my scalp
An expert honed in the gills that are so ugly
Of the smell when I decide to continue
Writing paragraphs that will serve as fire
To every Filipino submerged in the current
Of foreigners, the ones wrapped in blankets are Chinese

Even though they say I didn't fight back
My writing is a coward's work
Why is there a need to kill each other if you're just going to ask and beg
When your enemy has stones and your weapon is a bag
After one hundred and fifty years
What have I observed, what have I realized
It's like time has stopped since then
Who has passed through the closed door

Is this really the outcome I want?
Remember the content of a saying
What good is the freedom of those being trampled
If tomorrow they will be the ones to rule

I did everything
I risked everything
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?
What have I gained?
I even risked my life
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?

This is what I think is right
And what is right
But wait... (What if he's right?)
Don't pity them
That's the only right thing to do
But wait... (What if he's right?)

I'm a young Tondo boy, a tailor's son
And at the age of fourteen, my arms were tied
Even though I didn't finish school, I continued to read
Picked up knowledge and my eyes were opened
That what is happening in my surroundings is wrong
And the only answer to a deep wound is stitching
They are slaves to gold and the smell of money
Foreigners who are the cause of much grief

Abuse and cruelty you should not cover up
If you don't fight back, you have nothing to deal with
They don't want to give way, someone is blocking the way
There is no more pleading, don't try to kick
Because the poor only have weakness
Try to shout even if your tongue is cut off
We sacrificed our lives, the candle melted
And the appearance of the raised flag changed

Is this really the outcome I want?
If you think about the content of a saying
What good is the freedom of those being trampled
If tomorrow they will be the ones to rule

I did everything
I risked everything
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?
What have I gained?
I even risked my life
For my country
But wait, what if he's right?

This is what I think is right
And what is right
But wait... (What if he's right?)
Don't pity them
That's the only right thing to do
But wait... (What if he's right?)

This is what I think is right
And what is right
But wait...
Don't pity them
That's the only right thing to do
But wait... (What if he's right?)
