Текст и перевод песни Gloc-9 - Buhay

Buhay

Lagi kang nangangarap
Lagi mong hinahanap
Kay tagal mong hinihintay
Ang inaasam mong tagumpay
Bagong kotse
Sariling bahay
Maraming pera
Iwas tambay, ito sagot d'yan

Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple lang)
Sipag na may kasabay na husay (makinig ka lang)
Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple 'yan)
Sipag at tiyaga nang may mapala

Gising na, tanghali na, nakatirik na
Araw at biyaya ay may nakakuha na'ng iba
'Yan ang laging sinasabi sa'min ng aking ina
'Pag 'di ka pa rin bumangon ay tatamaan ka pa
Magkape ka na, may mainit pa diyang pandesal
At mantikilya, huwag mong kalimutang magdasal
Bilisan mo na, bawas-bawasan mo din ang pasyal
Tandaan mo lagi na 'di ka anak ng opisyal

Hindi kami 'habang panahon nandito, sige ka
Baka magaya ka sa iba dito, 'di kita
Pinalaking kulang sa sentido, kumon na
Pwede mong gamitin nang pulido, kasi nga

Masikip lang ang bangka, kaya huwag kang malikot
Tiyagain mo sa harap, bantayan mo ang likod
Tapos tandaan ang buhay, kailanma'y 'di de-remote
Galingan mo muna sa trabaho bago ma-promote

Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple lang)
Sipag na may kasabay na husay (makinig ka lang)
Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple 'yan)
Sipag at tiyaga nang may mapala (kapit lang)

Sasakay ako ng jeep papunta sa Cubao
Lilipat sa bus na hindi crossing-ibabaw
Bababa do'n sa Ayala, ingat, baka maligaw
Bitbit ang biodata, may larawang dikit na hilaw
Gamit ay kaning-lamig, kung tawagin ay bahaw
Kakainin mo pa rin kahit na medyo nilangaw
Pwede na kahit mababa ang sweldong pinataw
Basta matanggap lang sa trabaho ngayong araw

Makisama sa mga nauna sa'yo doon
Kahit na kung tratuhin ka lamang nila ay miron
Basta kung 'di mataas, iwasan mong tumalon
Kung walang masasabing mabuti, 'wag kang tumugon

Masikip lang ang bangka, nahuhulog ang malikot
Diinan sa harap, pero bantayan mo ang likod
Tapos tandaan ang buhay, kailanma'y 'di de-remote
Galingan mo muna sa trabaho bago ma-promote, ha?

Simple lang naman ang buhay
Sipag na may kasabay na husay
Simple lang naman ang buhay
Sipag at tiyaga nang may mapala

Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple lang)
Sipag na may kasabay na husay (makinig ka lang)
Simple lang naman ang buhay (simpleng-simple 'yan)
Sipag at tiyaga nang may mapala (kapit lang)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Life

You always dream
You always search
You've been waiting for so long
The success you desire
A new car
Your own house
Lots of money
Avoid idleness, this is the answer

Life is simple (very simple)
Hard work coupled with skill (just listen)
Life is simple (it's very simple)
Diligence and perseverance lead to rewards

Wake up, it's noon, the sun is high
The sun and its blessings have been taken by others
That's what my mother always tells me
If you don't get up, you'll get hit
Have some coffee, there's still warm bread
And butter, don't forget to pray
Hurry up, lessen your walks
Always remember, you're not the child of an official

We're not here forever, be careful
You might end up like others here, I didn't
Raise you lacking common sense, you can
Use it wisely, because

The boat is crowded, so don't be restless
Persevere in front, watch your back
And remember, life is not remote-controlled
Do your best at work before you get promoted

Life is simple (very simple)
Hard work coupled with skill (just listen)
Life is simple (it's very simple)
Diligence and perseverance lead to rewards (hold on)

I'll ride a jeepney going to Cubao
Transfer to a bus that doesn't cross over
Get off at Ayala, be careful not to get lost
Carrying a resume with a raw photo attached
Using cold rice, also called "bahaw"
You'll still eat it even though it's a bit stale
A low wage offer is fine
As long as I get hired today

Get along with those who came before you
Even if they treat you like a mere spectator
If it's not high, avoid jumping
If you have nothing good to say, don't respond

The boat is crowded, the restless fall
Push forward, but watch your back
And remember, life is not remote-controlled
Do your best at work before you get promoted, huh?

Life is simple
Hard work coupled with skill
Life is simple
Diligence and perseverance lead to rewards

Life is simple (very simple)
Hard work coupled with skill (just listen)
Life is simple (it's very simple)
Diligence and perseverance lead to rewards (hold on)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
