Текст и перевод песни George Clinton - As In

As In

Ako'y isinilang sa isang bayan ng Cotabato
Kasing gulo ng tao, kasing gulo ng mundo
Dahil 'di magkasundo sa relihiyon at prinsipyo
Nagkagulo
Ang bayan ko sa Cotabato, kasing gulo 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 iyong nirespeto
Kung nagtulungan kayo, 'di sana magulo ang bayan ko

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
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

As In

I was born in a town in Cotabato
As confused as people, as confused as the world
Because I disagree with religion and principles
Get confused
My town in Cotabato, as confused as my mind
Don't know where you're from, don't know where you're going
Brother to brother, flesh to flesh
They fought each other, I don't know the reason for the mess

Why did it happen, my answer
Why did you fight, why did you get confused
I will respect your principles if I respect you
If you worked together, my town wouldn't be in chaos

CHORUS
In the town where I was born, in southern Cotabato
I opened my eyes to a great chaos
Because of disrespect for the principles of fellow human beings
You are torturing your fellow Filipinos
Chaos

I appeal to you, asking for your help
Give way to peace, peace in my town
Why do you have to fight, you are blood brothers
When will you be reconciled, when will my town find peace

If I can help, I will help with all my heart
I offer my guitar, use it if there is chaos
If the enemy has no heart, use your own heart
Treat him as a friend, think of him as having a heart like yours

CHORUS
In the town where I was born (why is there chaos) in southern Cotabato (in southern Cotabato)
I opened my eyes (when will it end) to a great chaos (chaos)
Due to lack of respect (when will there be reconciliation) for the principles of fellow human beings (human beings)
Fellow Filipinos (fellow Filipinos) are your enemies (why did you fight them)
Chaos
