Текст и перевод песни Dong Abay - Mateo Singko

Mateo Singko

Nakakadena si Amor

Amor is chained

Nakahawla ang Dama De Noche

The Lady of the Night is breathing

Walang trabaho, bagong layang si Ador Reklamador

Ador Reklamador has no job, a newly freed man

Kung 'di ang magbilang ng poste

If not to count the poles

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Maging mahirap, maging mahirap

To be poor, to be poor

Hahagulgol ang batang kulang sa sustansya

The child lacking nutrients will cry

Malutong na magmumura ang bungangerang ina

The hungry mother will curse loudly

Uumbagan siya ng asawang sugarol

She will be beaten by her gambler husband

Na wala namang dalang delehensya

Who didn't even bring a defense

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Maging mahirap, maging mahirap

To be poor, to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Mahirap maging mahirap

It's hard to be poor

Maging mahirap, maging mahirap

To be poor, to be poor

Sa ngalan ng mga ama at ina

In the name of the fathers and mothers

Kasama ang mga anak nila

Along with their children
