Текст и перевод песни Gloc-9 - Isang Araw

Isang Araw

Biyernes ng umaga
Paggising ko, pasok sa ′skwela
Nalilito, may exam ngayon
Napipikon, 'di ko malaman kung sa′n ako lilingon
Para makakuha ng sagot
Kapag bumagsak, ako'y malalagot
Kay ermat, erpat, sipa, tadyak
Ilabas ang kodigo, baka makalusot

Sa teacher kong apat ang mata
Nakasalaming kasingkapal ng tabla
Palakad-lakad, lapad-lapad
Buti na lamang, ako nama'y nakapasa
Kung hindi, mapipilitan na naman akong ulitin
Ang lahat ng mga pangyayari
Katulad nang minsan, ako ay nagbiyahe
At nakilala ′tong malupit na babae

Sa may QC, pangalan ay Debbie
Nag-aabang s′ya ng taxi
Tinitigan ko s'ya nang mata sa mata
Sinabi kong "You look lonely
Do you wanna go somewhere?", plak
Nagkabituin ang aking paningin
Bumakat ang kanyang kamay sa ′king mukha
Pagkatapos akong sampalin

Pero ngumiti s'ya
May kinuha sa bag at sinabing pwede ko daw ba s′yang matawagan
Kaya binigay n'yang kanyang calling card sa ′kin
Na animo'y parang humahalik sa hangin
Kaso lang, napagkamalan kong calling card n'ya na ticket ng bus
Naitapon kong kasama ng isang baso ng juice
Sinubukan kong hanapin sa may stop ng Sta. Cruz
At baka sakali na ang landas namin ay magkrus

Kaya pumasok ako sa isang eskinita
At tinanong ang kauna-unahan na nakita
Dahil baka sakaling kanyang nakikilala
Ang babaeng animo sa ′kin ay isang diwata
"Manong, nakikilala n′yo pa ba, sino ba 'yon?
Ano nga ba′ng pangalan n'ya, teka, Girlie ba ′yon?"
"Oo, kanina pa naghihintay sa 'yo doon
Lapitan mo, hayun, nakaupo sa may balon"

Eto ba s′ya? Bakit parang hindi yata ito?
Maganda s'ya kaya sige, napasubo ako
Teka lang, teka muna, ako'y litong-lito
Nangyayari lang ′to sa mga guniguni ko
Na para bang nagmamaneho ng isang bagong-bagong auto
Marami nang pera, nanalo pa sa lotto
Walang kumakalaban at lahat bumibilib
Hindi naghihintay, hindi naiinip

Teka lang, mabalik tayo sa kabilang kuwento ko
Habang naglalakad ay nakasalubong ako
Ng hiphop na metal, punkistang bungal
Natapilok kaya na-shoot sa kanal
Tinulungan ko, kawawa naman kasi
′Di na n'ya makita, limang pisong pambili
Ng suka na gagamitin ng kanyang Inay
Para may sawsawan ang kanyang masibang Itay

"Salamat, ha, ang bait mo pala"
Pagdating sa kanila, ako′y agad ipinakilala
Sa kapatid na si Girlie at sa pinsang si Debbie
Gulong-gulo at ako ay hindi mapakali
Para bang ang lahat ng mata'y sa ′kin nakatingin
At hindi ko malaman kung ano ang aking gagawin
Kasi ba naman, parang walang malabong nangyari
Sa 'min nitong mga kaharap kong panalong babae

One Day

Friday morning
I woke up, went to school
Confused, there's an exam today
Getting annoyed, I don't know where to look
To get the answers
If I fail, I'm screwed
From Mom, Dad, kicks, stomps
Get the cheat sheet out, maybe I can slip through

With my four-eyed teacher
Wearing glasses as thick as a plank
Pacing back and forth, wide and broad
Luckily, I passed
Otherwise, I'd be forced to repeat
All the events
Like when I once traveled
And met this amazing girl

In QC, her name is Debbie
She was waiting for a taxi
I looked her in the eyes
I said, "You look lonely
Do you wanna go somewhere?", bam
My vision went starry
Her hand imprinted on my face
After she slapped me

But she smiled
Took something from her bag and asked if I could call her
So she gave me her calling card
As if kissing the air
Except, I mistook her calling card for a bus ticket
I threw it away with a glass of juice
I tried to find her at the Sta. Cruz stop
And maybe our paths would cross again

So I went into an alley
And asked the first person I saw
Because maybe he knew her
The girl who was like a goddess to me
"Sir, do you remember who that was?
What was her name again, wait, was it Girlie?"
"Yes, she's been waiting for you there for a while
Go to her, she's sitting by the well"

Is this her? Why doesn't it seem like it?
She's beautiful, so alright, I got myself into this
Wait a minute, hold on, I'm confused
This only happens in my imagination
Like driving a brand new car
Having lots of money, even winning the lottery
No one competing and everyone admiring
Not waiting, not getting impatient

Wait a minute, let's go back to my other story
While I was walking, I came across
A hip-hop metal, punk rocker
He tripped and fell into the canal
I helped him, he was pitiful
He couldn't find the five pesos to buy
Vinegar that his mother would use
So his gluttonous father would have a dipping sauce

"Thank you, you're so kind"
When we arrived at their place, he immediately introduced me
To his sister Girlie and his cousin Debbie
Confused and restless, I couldn't sit still
It felt like all eyes were on me
And I didn't know what to do
Because it seemed like something vague had happened
Between me and these stunning girls in front of me
