Paroles et traduction Shanti Dope - Bodega

Bodega

Akala na lang ang lahat, iyon akala ko noon
Dasaling tuwing akinse at atrenta lang kung tumugon
Tuwing kada panlaman tiyan ang hingin ko sa panginoon
Sukli nya'y kaganapang ilang laway ang pinalulon

Gatas ko sa labing 'di ko gaano nalasap
Ang nagsabing gulugod ko lang ang 'di ko kayang kaharap
Pati buwan ay pinuruhan, timpi ang pinuhunan
Pilas ng sulatan ko't kalendaryong 'di ko tinulugan para lang

Sinugal kong panahon, tama ng masuklian
May dala ng kalupitan, simula nung nasa panubigan
Sa kabila ng eskinita't kanto kong nauwian
Ang katunayan gintong makinang ay makikita sa putikan
Buena man...

Buena manong nagtiwala sa'kin ay ako din
Sa panahong palaisipan pa kung sa'n ba ako dadamputin
Nawalan ng ganang antukin sa dami ng dapat sabunin
Bukod sa bumbunan, may diwa pa 'kong dapat katukin

Bodega

I used to think everything was easy, all I had to do was pray
Pray on the 15th and 30th, and only then would I get some pay
Whenever I asked the Lord to fill my belly,
He would just give me some water and tell me to be still.

I don't really remember tasting my own mother's milk,
The one who told me that the only thing I couldn't handle was my own spine,
Even the moon was criticized, its financing cut,
I wore out my pens and stayed up all night just to

Put my time on the line, time to get paid in full
I've been through some hard times, ever since I was in the womb
Despite all the tough times and the corners I had to cut,
The truth is, gold can be found in the mud
My faith in...

My faith in the man who believed in me, and in myself
Back when it was unclear where I would end up,
I lost all desire to sleep, there was so much to do,
Not just to make a living, but to find my voice.
