Paroles et traduction Lonnie Gordon - Sing A Song

Sing A Song

Ang pinilakang tabing na sariling atin
Natabunan ng mga telenovela na pinilit lang ang dubbing
Walang palabas at mas madalas mag patalastas
Sa aming telebisyon biglang inisip ko ang aking
Kinabukasan na parang inihip lang ng hangin
Ako ay pilipino sa isip at sa damdamin
Pero bakit ka mahilig sa chinito at chinita
Dramathon sa hapon kasama si tito at si tita
At kuya at si ate at katulong na parating natutulog
Pag malapit na maluto ang sinaing
Huminahon ka itay baka ka mabulunan
Sa laki ng binayad ko wala kong natutunan
Ni kapiranggot mula nung unang baitang
Pumapasok lang ako para mangutang kay maam
Ng pambili ng kanin, chicken adobo
Araw-araw ganito nakaka-bobo

Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo

Pulitiko na sa showbiz posible na pala
Ang dami nang artista sa pulitika pa nga
Bobo, inutil, walang pinag-aralan
Hangal, hung-hang sino bang pinagmanahan
Uto-uto, sunod-sunuran sa kung anong makita ng mata
Upang mapansin ka ng madla
Para masabi lang na in ka sa mga pormang petmalu
In da loop sa chika chuvanes ke churva eklavu
Mga chismis na nahuli na nang isang dekada
"Richard gomez at lucy torres sila na nga ba?"
Naku itong starlet na ang suso lumabas
Wag na wag mong ililipat susunod na sa the buzz
Wo-wo-wee sinong di mawiwili
Makakakita ka nang mga natapakan sa tv
Habang kinakain mo yung kanin, chicken adobo
Ayoko ng ganito nakaka-bobo

Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo

Takot kang magtanong takot kang magpaulit
Takot ka ring lumapit sa guro mo na masungit
Takot kang magtanong takot kang magpaulit
Kaya pala takot ka magsagot sa pagsusulit
Kala mo alam mo to kala alam mo yan
Kala mo porket tagalog puro lang kabaduyan
Kala mo porket mahirap ka hanggang dyan ka na lang
Kala mo alam mo na lahat wala ka pang alam

Kasi lahat ng nakikita mo akala mo tama
Maghapon ka sa tv mo na nakatunganga
Nakapangalumbaba simula pa nung bata
Di naman importanteng magpakadalubhasa
Ang sakin lang naman ikaw ay malinawan
Wag na wag mong gawing dahilan ang kahirapan
Maniwala, pero wag umasa sa himala
Wala pang nananalo sa lotto na di tumataya
Kaya palayain mo ang utak mong nakakulong
Mas masahol pa sa bobo ang bobo nagmarunong
Kung ang pag-iisip para sayoy nakakangawit
Ibenta mo ang utak mo kung di mo ginagamit
Wag kang magalit kung laman ng bao ay ampao
Pilipino lang ako pag nananalo si pacquiao
Pag narinig ko yung kanin, chicken adobo
Nakaka-indak kahit nakaka-bobo

Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko nakaka-bobo
Kahit nakapikit ako nakaka-bobo
Lahat nang nakikita ko kahit nakapikit ako
Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo

Takot kang magtanong takot kang magpaulit
Takot ka ring lumapit sa guro mo na masungit
Takot kang magtanong takot kang magpaulit
Kaya pala takot ka magsagot sa pagsusulit
Kala mo alam mo to kala alam mo yan
Kala mo porket tagalog puro lang kabaduyan
Kala mo porket mahirap ka hanggang dyan ka na lang
Kala mo alam mo na lahat wala ka pang alam

Nakaka-bobo Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo
Nakaka-bobo Nakaka, nakaka, nakaka-bobo

Sing A Song

Our own silver screen
Overshadowed by telenovelas with forced dubbing
No shows, just more ads
On our television, I suddenly thought about my
Future, like it was just blown away by the wind
I am Filipino in mind and heart
But why are you so fond of Chinese men and women?
Afternoon drama marathon with uncle and aunt
And brother and sister and the maid who's always sleeping
When the rice is almost cooked
Calm down, dad, you might choke
For all I paid, I learned nothing
Not even a bit since first grade
I only go to school to borrow money from ma'am
To buy rice, chicken adobo
This is everyday, it's so dumb

Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb
Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb

Politicians in showbiz, it's possible now
So many actors in politics too
Stupid, useless, uneducated
Foolish, dumb, who did they inherit it from?
Gullible, following whatever their eyes see
Just to get noticed by the crowd
Just to say you're in with the "petmalu" trends
In the loop with the "chika chuvanes ke churva eklavu"
Gossip that's a decade old
"Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres, are they really together?"
Oh my, this starlet's breasts are showing
Don't you dare change the channel, it's next on The Buzz
Wo-wo-wee, who wouldn't be interested
You'll see people getting stepped on on TV
While you're eating your rice and chicken adobo
I don't want this, it's so dumb

Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb
Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb

You're afraid to ask, afraid to repeat
You're even afraid to approach your grumpy teacher
You're afraid to ask, afraid to repeat
That's why you're afraid to answer in exams
You think you know this, you think you know that
You think just because it's Tagalog, it's all nonsense
You think just because you're poor, that's all you'll ever be
You think you know everything, you know nothing

Because everything you see, you think it's right
You spend all day staring at your TV
Resting your chin on your hand since you were a child
It's not important to be an expert
I just want you to be enlightened
Don't ever use poverty as an excuse
Believe, but don't rely on miracles
No one wins the lottery without playing
So free your imprisoned mind
A fool who pretends to know is worse than a fool
If thinking is tiring for you
Sell your brain if you're not using it
Don't be angry if the coconut is empty
I'm only Filipino when Pacquiao wins
When I hear about rice and chicken adobo
It makes me dance even though it's dumb

Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb
Everything I see is dumb
Even with my eyes closed, it's dumb
Everything I see, even with my eyes closed
It's dumb, dumb, dumb

You're afraid to ask, afraid to repeat
You're even afraid to approach your grumpy teacher
You're afraid to ask, afraid to repeat
That's why you're afraid to answer in exams
You think you know this, you think you know that
You think just because it's Tagalog, it's all nonsense
You think just because you're poor, that's all you'll ever be
You think you know everything, you know nothing

It's dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
It's dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
