Текст и перевод песни Ai-Ai delas Alas - Tanging Ina N'yo

Tanging Ina N'yo

Hindi ko maintindihan kung ba't sila ganyan
Minsan kami ang nakikita't pinag-uusapan
Kasalanan ko bang umibig at iwanan?
Magkaro'n ng anak na tangi naming yaman

Lahat na yata ng hirap ay ginawa ko
Naging tindera na ako ng pirated sa kanto
Naging construction worker para lang mabuhay kayo
Gay impersonator ang naging trabaho ko

Kay hirap talagang maging isang ina
Mahaba dapat ang 'yong pasensya
Pero kahit 'and'yan ang problema
Para sa anak lahat ay kayang-kaya

Dahil ako ang tanging ina n'yo
Na nagpapalit ng diapers nung bata pa kayo
Tanging ina n'yo
Ang nag-aalaga, namamalantsa ng damit n'yo
Nagpapaligo habang nagluluto ako
Nagpapakain, nag-aalaga sa inyo

Kinabukasan n'yo ang laging iniisip ko
Ang mapag-aral kayo hanggang sa kolehiyo
Magtinda man ako ng gulay, isda, at sago
Chicharon at balot ay gagawin ko

At kahit na marami sa 'ting umaalipusta
Sabihin man nilang lahat ang gusto nila
Dito sa puso ko'y pantay-pantay ang nadarama
Bilang mga anak dahil ako ang inyong ina

Kay hirap talaga kapag nag-iisa
Responsibildad mo'y 'di basta-basta
Kuryente, tubig, bayad sa kasera
Kung may sobra, may baon sa eskwela

Dahil ako ang tanging ina n'yo
Ang tumatayo bilang nanay at tatay n'yo
Tanging ina n'yo
Na nagpapatawa kapag nalulungkot kayo
Nasasaktan 'pag 'di naibigay ang gusto n'yo
Mga kailangan

Tanging ina n'yo
Na handang magtanggol 'pag inaapi kayo
Tanging ina n'yo
Na ibibigay kahit buhay ko sa inyo
Anuman ang mangyari, nandirito ako
Hanggang huli

Tanging ina n'yo
Tanging ina n'yo
Tanging ina n'yo ako
Tanging ina n'yo

Tanging Ina N'yo

I can't understand why they are like that
Sometimes we are the ones seen and talked about
Is it my fault to love and leave?
To have a child who is our only treasure

I think I've done everything hard
I became a pirated vendor at the corner
I became a construction worker just to make a living
I became a gay impersonator

It's really hard to be a mother
You must have a lot of patience
But even though there are problems
For the sake of your children, everything is possible

Because I am your only mother
Who changed your diapers when you were young
Your only mother
Who takes care of you, irons your clothes
Bathes you while I cook
Feeds you, takes care of you

I always think of your future
To send you to college
Even if I sell vegetables, fish, and sago
Chicharon and balut, I will do it

And even if many people insult us
Let them say whatever they want
In my heart, I feel the same for all of you
As children because I am your mother

It's really hard when you are alone
Your responsibilities are not easy
Electricity, water, rent
If there is extra, you can have food money

Because I am your only mother
Who acts as both your mother and father
Your only mother
Who makes you laugh when you are sad
Hurts when I can't give you what you want
What you need

Your only mother
Who is willing to defend you when you are bullied
Your only mother
Who will give her life for you
Whatever happens, I am here
Until the end

Your only mother
Your only mother
I am your only mother
Your only mother
