Текст и перевод песни Asin - Ang Bayan Kong Sinilangan

Ang Bayan Kong Sinilangan

Ako'y isinilang sa isang bayan ng Cotabato
Kasinggulo ng tao, kasinggulo ng mundo
Dahil 'di magkasundo sa relihiyon at prinsipyo
Nagkagulo

Ang bayan ko sa Cotabato, kasinggulo ng isip ko
'Di alam saan nanggaling, 'di alam saan patungo
Kapatid sa kapatid, laman sa laman
Sila-sila ang naglalaban
'Di ko alam ang dahilan ng gulo

Bakit nagkagano'n, ang sagot sa tanong ko
Bakit kayo nag-away, bakit kayo nagkagulo
Prinsipyo mo'y igagalang ko
Kung ako'y 'yong nirespeto
Kung nagtulungan kayo
'Di sana magulo ang bayan ko

Sa bayan kong sinilangan, sa timog Cotabato
Ako ay namulat sa napakalaking gulo
Dahil walang respeto
Sa prinsipyo ng kapwa tao
Kapwa Pilipino ay pinapahirapan mo...
Ang gulo

Ako'y nananawagan, humihingi ng tulong n'yo
Kapayapaa'y bigyan ng daan
Kapayapaan sa bayan ko
Bakit kailangan pang maglaban
Magkapatid kayo sa dugo
Kailan kayo magkakasundo
Kapayapaa'y kailan matatamo ng bayan ko

Kung ako'y may maitutulong
Tutulong nang buong puso
Gitara ko'y aking inaalay
Kung magkagulo'y gamitin mo
Kung ang kalaba'y walang puso
Puso na rin ang gamitin mo
Ituring mong 'sang kaibigan
Isipin mong siya'y may puso rin katulad mo

Sa bayan kong sinilangan
(Bakit may gulo)
Sa timog Cotabato
(Sa timog Cotabato)
Ako ay namulat
(Kailan matatapos)
Sa napakalaking gulo
(Ang gulo)
Dahil walang respeto
(Kailan magkakasundo)
Sa prinsipyo ng kapwa tao
(Ang tao)
Kapwa Pilipino
(Kapwa Pilipino)
Ay kinakalaban mo
(Bakit kinalaban mo)
Ang gulo...

My Birthplace

I was born in a town in Cotabato
As crowded as the people, as crowded as the world
Because of disagreements in religion and principles
There was chaos

My town in Cotabato, as chaotic as my mind
Not knowing where I came from, not knowing where I'm going
Brother against brother, flesh against flesh
They are fighting each other
I don't know the reason for the chaos

Why did this happen, the answer to my question
Why did you fight, why did you bring chaos
I will respect your principles
If you showed me respect
If you worked together
There wouldn't be chaos in my town

In the town where I was born, in southern Cotabato
I was born into a great chaos
Because there was no respect
For the principles of others
Fellow Filipinos, you are being tormented...
The chaos

I appeal to you, I ask for your help
Give peace a chance
Peace in my town
Why do you have to fight
You are brothers in blood
When will you reconcile
When will my town find peace

If I can be of any help
I will help with all my heart
I am offering my guitar
Play it when there is chaos
If your enemy is heartless
Use your heart instead
Think of them as a friend
Think that they have a heart like you

In the town where I was born
(Why is there chaos)
In southern Cotabato
(In southern Cotabato)
I was born
(When will it end)
Into a great chaos
(The chaos)
Because there was no respect
(When will you reconcile)
For the principles of others
(The people)
Fellow Filipinos
(Fellow Filipinos)
Are fighting each other
(Why did you fight each other)
The chaos...
