Текст и перевод песни Freddie Aguilar - Tayo'y Mga Pinoy

Tayo'y Mga Pinoy

Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Dito sa Silangan ako isinilang
Kung saan nagmumula ang sikat ng araw
Ako ay may sariling kulay kayumanggi
Ngunit, 'di ko maipakita tunay na sarili
Bakit kaya tayo ay ganito?
Bakit nanggagaya? Mayro'n naman tayo
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo′y hindi Kano
'Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Kung ating hahanapin ay matatagpuan
Tayo ay may kakanyahan, dapat na hangaan
Subalit, nasaan ang sikat ng araw?
Ba't tayo ay humahanga doon sa Kanluran? Oh
Bakit kaya tayo ay ganito?
Bakit nanggagaya? Mayro′n naman tayo
Tayo'y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Mayro'ng isang aso, daig pa ang ulol
S′ya'y humihingal, hindi tumatahol
Katulad ng iba, pa-English-English pa
Na kung pakikinggan, mali-mali naman, ′wag na lang
Tayo'y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo'y mga Pinoy, tayo′y hindi Kano
'Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
'Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo′y hindi Kano
'Wag kang mahihiya, buhay man ay maralita
Tayo′y mga Pinoy, tayo'y hindi Kano
′Wag kang mahihiya

We Are Filipinos

We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
I was born in the East
Where the sun rises
I have my own brown skin
But I can't show my true self
Why are we like this?
Why imitate when we have our own?
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
If we look, we will find
We have our own essence, which should be admired
But where is the sun?
Why do we admire the West? Oh
Why are we like this?
Why imitate when we have our own?
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
There is a dog who is worse than a fool
He pants, he doesn't bark
Like others, he speaks English too much
Which, when listened to, is wrong, so don't bother
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed, even though our life is poor
We are Filipinos, we are not Caucasians
Don't be ashamed
