Paroles et traduction Nonoy Zuñiga - Basang-basa sa ulan

Basang-basa sa ulan

Ang buhay ko ngayo'y ibang iba
Munti kong daigdig ay malawak na
Ngunit ako'y hindi pa rin natutuwa
Sa kinang ng kapalara'y nababalisa

Dumi at putik ba'y nahuhugasan
Ng bawat patak ng malakas na ulan
Ang tubig kung husto'y nakabubuhay
Kung labis ang singil nito ay buhay

Heto ako basang-basa sa ulan
Ulan ng kasikatan di ko inaasahan
Ngunit may araw rin lahat nito'y lilipas
Mapagkunwaring ligaya kukupas at magwawakas

Ginawa akong bulag na nakaka kita
At isang bingi na nakaririnig
Ngunit bulag muli kung silang kaharap
At bingi kung sila ang nakakausap

Soaked in the rain

My life now is different,
My small world is now vast,
But I'm still not happy,
I'm troubled by the shine of fate.

Can dirt and mud be washed away
By every drop of heavy rain?
Water, if enough, gives life,
If too much, it takes life.

Here I am soaked in the rain,
A rain of popularity I didn't expect,
But one day all of this will pass,
Pretend happiness will fade and end.

They made me a blind man who can see,
And a deaf man who can hear,
But I am blind again when I am in front of them,
And deaf when I am talking to them.
