Bilin - Gary Granada перевод на английский

Bilin

Kung iyong mamarapatin
Dinggin ang tanging pamana
Mga mumunting habilin
Ng isang kaibigan at ama

Habang maaga'y matutunan
Ang mamuhay nang payak
Habang marami kang kailangan
Ang bagaheng bumibigat

Ang nag-iisang dila
Dapat ay may isang salita
Totoo ang pagpapala
Galing sa totoong gawa

Kung tutuusin ay kay dalas na banggitin
Lumang mga salawikain
Kung tutuusin ay kay daling intindihin
Bakit parang kay hirap gawin?

Marami ang nahihirapan
Kakaunti ang marangya
Kaya huwag kang magpakayaman
Huwag ding magpakadukha

At mag-ingat kang parati
Sa mga taong marahas
Maging sing-amo ng kalapati
Ngunit sing-ilap ng ahas

Laging marunong umunawa
Lahat ay nagkakamali
Patawarin ang iyong kapwa
Pati na ang sarili

Kung tutuusin ay di sa akin nanggaling
Ang mga kasabihang ito
Kung tutuusin ito ay para sa akin din
Galing sa tatay ng tatay mo

Gaya rin ng panaginip
Pag-ibig ay nabibigo
Damahin mo sa iyong isip
At pag-isipan sa puso

Huwag mong masyadong seryosohin
At sisikip lang ang dibdib
'Di bawal ang masayahin
Dito sa ibabaw ng daigdig

Kung susukatin mo ang buhay
Wala sa haba o ikli
Basta't sikapin mong mabuhay
Sa lahat ng sandali

Bilin

If you will allow it, my dear
Listen to the only inheritance
Small reminders
From a friend and a father

While it's still early, learn
To live simply
While you have many needs
The baggage gets heavier

The only tongue
Should have only one word
True blessings
Come from honest work

If you think about it, these are often mentioned
Old proverbs
If you think about it, they're easy to understand
Why are they so hard to do?

Many struggle
Few are wealthy
So don't try to get rich, my love
And don't try to be poor either

And always be careful
Of violent people
Be as gentle as a dove
But as swift as a snake

Always be understanding
Everyone makes mistakes
Forgive your neighbor
And yourself too

If you think about it, these didn't come from me
These sayings
If you think about it, they're for me too
From your father's father

Like a dream
Love fails
Feel it in your mind
And contemplate it in your heart

Don't take it too seriously, darling
And your chest will only tighten
It's not forbidden to be cheerful
Here on the surface of the earth

If you measure life
It's not in length or shortness
Just strive to live
In every moment
