Текст и перевод песни Abra feat. Arci Munoz of Philia - Ilusyon

Ilusyon

Nasa'n na ba ang pagbabago, sa'n? Wala pa rin pala
Kaming mga bulag sa katotohanan, ngayon nakakakita na
Kayo na nga 'tong pumapapel, pati ba naman ngayon?
Nakikipag-plastikan na
Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo
Basta huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Ilang dekada na ba? Nakapagtataka na
Wala pa ring pagbabago nang pagkatagal na
Imbis na mataranta, aba, nagbabalak pa
Pagtakpan ang matagal nang halatang-halata

Palakihan ng lote, paramihan ng kotse
Para 'di mangamote, bayanihan nang konti
Matapobre, talagang plastikan ang forte
Natutulog sa pansitan na sandigan ng korte

Sakit ng lipunan, kayo ang ebidensya
Sakit, oo, pero ngayon ay epidemya
At sa Pilipinas, ang mga elektibo
Nagpapakabibo at hindi epektibo

Puro salita, pero ni wala man lang pruweba
Magpapakapropeta para walang protesta
Sa nakaraang problema, ano ba ang solusyon
Kung ang lahat ng nakikita ko'y isang ilusyon?

Nasa'n na ba ang pagbabago, sa'n? Wala pa rin pala
Kaming mga bulag sa katotohanan, ngayon nakakakita na
Kayo na nga 'tong pumapapel, pati ba naman ngayon?
Nakikipag-plastikan na
Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo
Basta huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Walang nakaisip ng nasa palagid
Mabaho, madumi at kadalasan mainit
Tambakan ng basura kahit nasaang gilid
At traffic, para bang kada kalsada, makitid

Laganap na kotongan, susmariya!
Mga driver, tingin sa kanilang bus, tamiya
Bayarang kababaihan para boobs, makita
Ganiyan talaga resulta 'pag kapos sa kita

Kapag umulan, huwag susubukang bumiyahe
Madalas ang pagbaha, may lumulutang na tae
Sandamukal na problema, pupuhunan daw sabi
Tutulungan, tutulugan, tututukan kunyari

Ngayon, sabihin niyo kung nasa'n diyan ang pagbabago
Baka nakasalamin ako, pagkataas ng grado
Kasalukuyang problema, ano ang solusyon
Kung ang lahat ng nakikita ko'y isang Ilusyon?

Nasa'n na ba ang pagbabago, sa'n? Wala pa rin pala
Kaming mga bulag sa katotohanan, ngayon nakakakita na
Kayo na nga 'tong pumapapel, pati ba naman ngayon?
Nakikipag-plastikan na
Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo
Basta huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Maraming mga kababayang habang-buhay na pagod
'Pagka't hanap nang hanap ng hanapbuhay sa abroad
Iiwan ang pamilya para ang tagumpay, maabot
Nakakaumay ang sagot kaya ako ay nayamot

'Di kayo makapagbigay ng mga trabaho
Kaya 'di dapat kinailangan na mangako
Saan na'ng pagbabago? Taray naman
Imbis na magbagong-buhay, bagong bahay na lang

Habang maraming nagugutom at walang matirhan
At abot-kaya na gamot, wala man lang mabilhan
Edukasyon sa lahat, 'di magawang pagbigyan
Kayo ang boses ng taong 'di niyo kayang pakinggan

Magandang kinabukasan, na-orasan ko 'yon
'Di ba, dapat ngayon ang kinabukasan noon?
Kinabukasan na problema, ano ang solusyon
Kung ang lahat ng nakikita ko'y isang ilusyon?

Nasa'n na ba ang pagbabago, sa'n? Wala pa rin pala
Kaming mga bulag sa katotohanan, ngayon nakakakita na
Kayo na nga 'tong pumapapel, pati ba naman ngayon?
Nakikipag-plastikan na
Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo
Basta huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga

Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag niyo 'kong gagawing tanga
Huwag na huwag, huwag na huwag

Illusion

Where is the change? Where? It's still not here.
We, who were blind to the truth, now we can see.
You're the ones playing pretend, even now?
Being all fake and plastic.
Do whatever you want with your lives.
Just don't make a fool out of me.

Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.

For how many decades now? It's puzzling.
Still no change after all this time.
Instead of panicking, you're even planning.
To cover up what's been obvious for so long.

Bigger lots, more cars.
So you won't be broke, acting like heroes for a pittance.
You're all about being fake, pretending to be rich.
Sleeping on a bed of noodles, leaning on the courts.

You are the evidence of society's illness.
An illness, yes, but now it's an epidemic.
And in the Philippines, the elected officials.
Are trying to be popular but ineffective.

All talk, but no proof.
Acting like prophets so there are no protests.
For past problems, what's the solution.
If everything I see is just an illusion?

Where is the change? Where? It's still not here.
We, who were blind to the truth, now we can see.
You're the ones playing pretend, even now?
Being all fake and plastic.
Do whatever you want with your lives.
Just don't make a fool out of me.

Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.

No one thinks about what's around.
Shallow, dirty, and often hot.
Garbage dumps on every corner.
And traffic, like every street is narrow.

Extortion is rampant, good heavens!
Drivers, seeing their bus as a toy.
Paid women for boobs to be seen.
That's what happens when you're short on income.

When it rains, don't even try to travel.
Floods are frequent, there's shit floating around.
Tons of problems, they say they'll address them.
They'll help, they'll sleep, they'll pretend to care.

Now, tell me where is the change?
Because I'm wearing glasses, high grades I possess.
For present problems, what's the solution.
If everything I see is just an Illusion?

Where is the change? Where? It's still not here.
We, who were blind to the truth, now we can see.
You're the ones playing pretend, even now?
Being all fake and plastic.
Do whatever you want with your lives.
Just don't make a fool out of me.

Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.

Many of our countrymen are perpetually tired.
Because they keep searching for jobs abroad.
Leaving their families behind to reach success.
The answer is frustrating, so I'm annoyed.

You can't provide jobs.
So you shouldn't have made promises.
Where's the change? My gosh.
Instead of a new life, just a new house.

While many are hungry and homeless.
And affordable medicine, nowhere to buy.
Education for all, they can't even grant.
You are the voice of the people you can't even listen to.

A good future, I timed it.
Isn't the future then supposed to be now?
For future problems, what's the solution.
If everything I see is just an illusion?

Where is the change? Where? It's still not here.
We, who were blind to the truth, now we can see.
You're the ones playing pretend, even now?
Being all fake and plastic.
Do whatever you want with your lives.
Just don't make a fool out of me.

Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't make a fool out of me.
Don't ever, don't ever.
