Текст и перевод песни Bassilyo - Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver

Pagkatapos kong mag-almusal ng pandesal 'tsaka tapsilog
Ay lalabas ako ng bahay upang magmaneho ng taxi ko
At itong pagbiyahe ko upang kumita ng salapi
At baka sakaling makabili ng bahay na malaki

Unang passenger, isang mukhang mayaman na lasing
'Di siya magalang, napakayabang at amoy alak na kasing
Gasing ng mga gipit, kulang ang binayad, wala man lang tip
Kakabadtrip, pwede ba sa susunod, sumakay ka na lang ng jeep?

Ikalawang pasahero, binibining estranghero
Sa suot niyang miniskirt, gumaling ang aking pagkabolero
Nagpahatid siya sa Monumento, binayad niya ay limang daan
"Keep the change," sabi ko, "Napakaswerte ko naman"

Manananghalian na muna ako, pahinga, 'di na muna ako babiyahe
Nang may napansin ako sa limang daan na binayad no'ng babae
Kaya pala keep the change, peke pala 'yung limang daan
'Pag nakita kita ulit, ika'y aking kakantahan

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Liko dito, liko here, liko-liko there
Pwede ring dire-diretso, basta't 'wag lang sa pader (sa pader)

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Bababa ba? Teka, gigilid lang ako
Bago niyo ako layasan, iabot niyo'ng bayad niyo (bayad niyo)

Isang lola ang naisakay ko na kung makatingin ay makamandag
Kakamadali niyang magbayad, naiwan niya ang kanyang bag (what?)
Ano ang laman ng bag? Dali-daling binulatlat
'Kala ko pera, 'yun pala t'yanak so tinapon ko sa tapat

Ng kambingan at tindahan ng gamot saka bulaklak
Nang sa taxi ko ay may biglang kumatok, napakalampag
Isang mamang malaki katawan na semi-panot ang gupit
May kasama siya na dalawang seksing bebot, ang lupit

Ngunit, bakit sa 'king sakay, 'di ako mapalagay?
Ako'y tinutukan ng baril, ang sabi n'ya, "Holdap 'to, taas kamay"
Naku, patay, holdaper pala itong naisakay ko na semi-panot
Pa'no na 'yan? Wala pa 'kong kinita, kalalabas ko pa lang, eh 'di lagot?

Mabuti na lang ay may biglang dumaang mobile patrol
Silang tatlo ngayon ay nasukol at sa kulungan sila nagmaktol
Pinagtanggol ako ni Lord at sila'y kalaboso na
Hoy, panot, one time lang, sa bunbunan pakutos muna

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Liko dito, liko here, liko-liko there
Pwede ring dire-diretso, basta't 'wag lang sa pader (sa pader)

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Bababa ba? Teka, gigilid lang ako
Bago niyo ako layasan, iabot niyo'ng bayad niyo (bayad niyo)

Mula Batanes hanggang Jolo iniikot ko
Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao ay nililibot ko
Minsan, para bang gusto ko nang tumawid ng ibang bansa
'Pag may nanghuli sa 'kin ng taxi ko, sa kanya ko ibabangga

Simula Marikina, Katipunan, San Juan, UP Kalayaan
Pagliko ko sa Litex kanan Commonwealth, Novaliches Bayan
Montalban, Angono, Cogeo, San Mateo, Antipolo, Taytay, Cainta
Valenzuela, Tondo, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Malanday, Malinta

Diliman, Quezon at Timog, Cubao, Makati at buong EDSA
Bicutan, Taguig, Alabang, Pasig, Pasay at Mall of Asia
Welcome Rotonda diretso sa Recto sa dating hotel, kung sa'n pwedeng pumwesto
Simbahan ng Quiapo, Baclaran, Batasan, Payatas, Sandigan at Ever Gotesco

Boni, Magallanes, Sucat, Parañaque, España, Luneta, Laloma, Malate
Sa 7-11 kumakaway sa 'kin ang mag-isang nakatayo na lalaki
Isasakay ko na 'to, last na 'to, isa na lang
"Sa'n kayo boss?" "Sa Heaven tayo," 'wag muna, saka na lang

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Liko dito, liko here, liko-liko there
Pwede ring dire-diretso, basta't 'wag lang sa pader (sa pader)

'Andito na ang inyong gwapong-gwapong taxi driver
Handa kayong ipagmaneho, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Bababa ba? Teka, gigilid lang ako
Bago niyo ako layasan, iabot niyo'ng bayad niyo (bayad niyo)

Taxi Driver

After I have my breakfast of pandesal and tapsilog
I'll leave the house to drive my taxi
And this trip of mine is to earn money
And maybe I can buy a big house

First passenger, a rich-looking drunkard
He's not respectful, very arrogant, and smells of alcohol like
The fumes of those in distress, he underpaid, not even a tip
So annoying, maybe next time, just take a jeepney?

Second passenger, a strange lady
In her miniskirt, my flattery skills improved
She asked to be taken to Monumento, she paid five hundred
"Keep the change," I said, "I'm so lucky"

I'll have lunch first, rest, I won't drive for now
When I noticed something about the five hundred paid by the woman
So that's why keep the change, the five hundred turned out to be fake
If I see you again, I'll sing to you

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Turn here, turn there, turn around
You can also go straight, just don't hit the wall (the wall)

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Getting off? Wait, I'll just pull over
Before you leave me, hand over your payment (your payment)

I picked up a grandmother whose gaze was so seductive
She was in such a hurry to pay that she left her bag (what?)
What's inside the bag? I quickly opened it
I thought it was money, it turned out to be a tiyanak so I threw it in front

Of the goat farm and the drugstore and flower shop
When someone suddenly knocked on my taxi, it was so loud
A big man with a semi-bald haircut
He's with two sexy chicks, how cool

But why am I uneasy with my passenger?
He pointed a gun at me, he said, "This is a robbery, hands up"
Oh no, it turns out this semi-bald guy I picked up is a robber
What now? I haven't earned anything yet, I just got out, am I doomed?

Good thing a mobile patrol suddenly passed by
The three of them are now caught and they landed in jail
Lord defended me and they are now in prison
Hey, baldy, one time only, I'll punch you in the face

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Turn here, turn there, turn around
You can also go straight, just don't hit the wall (the wall)

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Getting off? Wait, I'll just pull over
Before you leave me, hand over your payment (your payment)

From Batanes to Jolo I go around
Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao I travel around
Sometimes, it's like I want to go to another country
If someone steals my taxi, I'll ram it into him

Starting from Marikina, Katipunan, San Juan, UP Kalayaan
Turning right at Litex to Commonwealth, Novaliches Bayan
Montalban, Angono, Cogeo, San Mateo, Antipolo, Taytay, Cainta
Valenzuela, Tondo, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Malanday, Malinta

Diliman, Quezon City and Timog, Cubao, Makati and the entire EDSA
Bicutan, Taguig, Alabang, Pasig, Pasay and Mall of Asia
Welcome Rotonda straight to Recto to the old hotel, where you can park
Quiapo Church, Baclaran, Batasan, Payatas, Sandiganbayan and Ever Gotesco

Boni, Magallanes, Sucat, Parañaque, España, Luneta, Laloma, Malate
At 7-11, the lone man standing is waving at me
I'll take him, this is the last one, just one more
"Where are you going, boss?" "We're going to Heaven," not yet, maybe later

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Turn here, turn there, turn around
You can also go straight, just don't hit the wall (the wall)

Your handsome taxi driver is here
Ready to drive you, "Hello, ma'am, hi, sir"
Getting off? Wait, I'll just pull over
Before you leave me, hand over your payment (your payment)
