Paroles et traduction Sugarfree - Salamin

Salamin

Gumising akong mabigat ang loob
May guhit ng luha sa aking pisngi
Dahan-dahang bumangon at napatanong
Bakit dati hindi naman ganito ang buhay
Sumisikip ang araw sa 'king bintana
Naririning ang ingay ng kapit bahay
Ngunit dito, singgabi pa rin ng
Kumakapit na dilim

Sa salamin ako'y tumingin
Unti-unti kong napansin
Na sa dami natin ng nangyari
Halos 'di na makilala ang aking sarili

May mga lumang kanta na naririnig pa
Tungkol sa hari, kwarto, tulog at motel na madrama
At ang tinig sa radio at galling sa bata
Na nagpapanggap na mama, 'di lang nya alam
Mahirap palang tumanda

Nakakita ako ng isang litrato
Halos 'di na makilala ang batang nakangiti
Katulad ng maraming bagay, litrato ko'y
Kukupas
At bukas isa na lang syang malayong
Alaala

Salamin

Awakening to a heavy heart
With tear streaks marking my cheek
Slowly sat up, asking myself
Why life isn’t the same as before
The sun peeks through my window
Sounds of my neighbors start to unfold
But here, it’s still as dark as
The clinging shadows

I look into the mirror
Noticing gradually
Amidst our numerous encounters
I can hardly recognize myself anymore

Some old songs still play
About kings, rooms, slumber and dramatic motels
And the child’s voice on the radio
Pretending to be a mother, not knowing
Growing old is not easy

I spot a photograph
Barely recognizing the smiling child
Like many things, my picture
Will fade
And tomorrow, it will be nothing more than a distant
Memory
