Paroles et traduction Joey Ayala - Walang Ibang Sadya

Walang Ibang Sadya

Aanhin ang mata kung walang mapagmasdang
Sayaw sa indayog ng talahiban
Aanhin ang tenga kung hindi mapakinggan
Ang awit ng hangin sa punongkahoy

Aanhin ang labi kung 'di madampian
Ng ulan o 'di kaya'y mahagkan ng ilog
Pagmasdan, pakinggan, lasapin ang mundo
Walang ibang sadya ang ayos nito

Bulaklak sa paanan, naghihintay ng pansin
Ano ba ang buhay n'ya kung 'di mo langhapin?
Ang bato sa batis, kinis n'ya'y masasayang
Kung 'di mo mahaplos ang pisngi n'yang alay

Anhin pa ang balat kung 'di maramdaman
Ang lambing ng araw at ang sariwang simoy
Langhapin, haplusin, pansinin ang mundo
Walang ibang sadya ang ayos nito

Gano'n din ang tao nang siya'y mahalin
Ang tanging pangarap, tanging katuparan

Nothing Else Matters

What use are eyes if there's nothing to see?
Dancing in the sway of the reeds
What use are ears if there's nothing to hear?
The song of the wind in the trees

What use are lips if they can't be kissed?
By the rain or the river's embrace
See, hear, taste the world
There's no other purpose in its order

Flowers at your feet, waiting for attention
What is their life if you don't breathe them in?
The stone in the stream, its smoothness is wasted
If you don't caress the cheek it offers

What use is skin if it can't feel?
The caress of the sun and the fresh breeze
Breathe in, caress, notice the world
There's no other purpose in its order

So it is with man when he is loved
The only dream, the only fulfillment
