Текст и перевод песни LOONIE - Balewala

Balewala

Sa mundong mapanghusga, mapangmata, at mapanuri
Dapat hindi ka basta-basta nagpapaapekto sa mga paninirang puri
Lalong-lalo na kung galing lamang sa mga mahihinang uri

Sabi sa 'kin ni Bathala, "Matapang ka pala"
Pusong leon kaya dibdib mo ay walang mga daga
Alam mo bang mga pangarap mo ay pansamantala lamang
Samantalang ang kapalaran ay sa mga tala nakatala?
Kaya pala parang tamad na mag-aaral, walang kadala-dala
Walang pang baon, pero kahapon pa ako handa
Maglakad sa gubat kahit na takot sa palaka

Inakyat ang kabundukan at maghapong naggala
Inabutan ng dilim, muntikan na 'kong mawala
Sa sarili ko, 'pag gapang ko, wala 'kong makapa
Nasa dulo na pala ng bangin, wala nang kawala
Tumalon na lang kaya ako, kakayanin ko kaya?
Kaya ako'y napadasal, sabay salto padapa
"Bahala na si Batman," 'yan ang saktong kataga
'Tsaka na 'ko gagawa ng mga pakpak ko pababa

Tinanggap ang bawat hamon ng mundo
Lumaban, nakipaglaro ng apoy at patintero kay kamatayan
Bitbit ko ay panalangin paglabas ng pinto
Nakakapunit man ang hanging sasalubungin ay yayakapin ko

Andami talagang nais manira ng pangalan
Ngunit karamihan ay takot tumira ng harapan
'Pag hindi ko na malaman kung kaibigan o kalaban
Ngingitian ko na lamang at (yayakapin ko)
Kahit ga'no kapait ng naranasan
Masakit na nakaraang hindi ko matakasan
Walang awang tadhana ay tatawanan
Kahit ga'no kasama ng kapalaran ay (yayakapin ko)

Sabi sa 'kin ni santanas "Mayabang ka pala"
"Tuturuan kita kung paano magpakumbaba"
"'Di ka na maiisasalba ng mga kanta mong gawa"
"Pa'no mo tutubusin ang kaluluwang matagal nang nakasangla?"
"Binaba ang dangal at nagpakahangal, para lang ikaw ay mahalin ng madla"
"At biniyayaan ng katanyagan, kaso lang halata na hindi ka handa"
"Kaluluwa kapalit kasikatan, 'yan ang usapang nakatakda"
"Sa kontratang 'to na may pangalan mo na nakalagda"

Teka lang, 'wag ka pakasigurado, 'di mo pa ako pag-aari
Dahil ang titulo ng kaluluwa ko'y nasa akin
At ang kasunduan natin ay puro lamang usapang hangin
Kasi autograph ang nilagda ko sa kontrata
At handa akong tahakin ang mahabang landas pabalik
Balewala ang pagod at sakit, basta pag-uwi, yakap at halik
Ng aking asawang malupit at dalawang anak kong makulit
Para sa kanilang kapakanan, gagawin ko lahat, anuman kapalit

Tinanggap ang bawat hamon ng mundo
Lumaban, nakipaglaro ng apoy at patintero kay kamatayan
Bitbit ko ay panalangin paglabas ng pinto
Nakakapunit man ang hanging sasalubungin ay yayakapin ko, oh
Ano man ang hangarin sa akin ng langit, kakayanin ko, oh
Sugatan man ng malalim, tagos sa damdamin ay tila balewala

Tatanggapin ko ng buo kahit pa gaano kapait (tila balewala)
Sasagarin ko hanggang sa buto kahit pa gaano kasakit (tila balewala)
Aakyatin ko ang pinakatuktok kahit pa gaano katarik (tila balewala)
Bawat suntok na sinalo ay may tadyak na kapalit
Dinuduro ako ng mundo kaya nginaratan ko pabalik

Tinanggap ang walang kwentang mga hamon
Para bilhin si Loonie, binenta ko si Marlon
Matalo man ngayon, bukas ang pwersa ko'y babangon
Pangako, mas malakas pa ng triple kaysa sa kahapon
At kung putapete ang kadebate, pare, 'di bale na lang
Walang pakialam, miski hirangin pinakamayabang
At kahit maraming kalaban na balak sirain ang aking pangalan ay balewala
Kasi wala naman akong pekeng imaheng inaalagaan kaya

Tinanggap ang bawat hamon ng mundo
Lumaban, nakipaglaro ng apoy at patintero kay kamatayan
Bitbit ko ay panalangin paglabas ng pinto
Nakakapunit man ang hanging sasalubungin ay yayakapin ko, oh
Ano man ang hangarin sa akin ng langit kakayanin ko, oh
Sugatan man ng malalim, tagos sa damdamin ay tila balewala

Andami talagang nais manira ng pangalan
Ngunit karamihan ay takot tumira nang harapan
'Pag hindi ko na malaman kung kaibigan o kalaban
Ngingitian ko na lamang at (balewala)
Kahit gaano kapait nang naranasan
Masakit na nakaraang hindi ko matakasan
Walang awang tadhana ay tatawanan
Kahit ga'no kasama ng kapalaran ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)

Tatanggapin ko ng buo kahit pa gaano kapait (balewala)
Sasagarin ko hanggang sa buto kahit pa gaano kasakit (balewala)
Aakyatin ko ang pinakatuktok kahit pa gaano katarik (balewala)
Bawat suntok na sinalo ay may tadyak na kapalit
Dinuduro ako ng mundo kaya nginaratan ko pabalik

Worthless

In this judgmental, observant, and critical world
You shouldn't be easily affected by defamation
Especially if it comes from those of the weaker kind

God told me, "You are brave"
A lionheart, your chest is free of daggers
Did you know that your dreams are just temporary
As long as fate is written in the stars?
So you're like lazy to study, never learning from mistakes
No allowance, but I've been ready since yesterday
Walking through the forest even though I'm afraid of frogs

I climbed the mountains and wandered all day long
Darkness caught up with me, I almost got lost
I couldn't find anyone, crawling on my own
I'm already at the edge of the cliff, there's no escape
So I just jumped, I can do this, right?
So I prayed, then did a front flip downwards
"Leave it to Batman," that's the right phrase
I'll just make my wings on the way down

Accepted every challenge the world throws at me
Fought, played with fire, and played tag with death
Carrying my prayers as I step out the door
Even if the wind that greets me is tearing, I'll embrace it

There are really so many who want to ruin my name
But most of them are afraid to face me head-on
If I don't know anymore whether you're friend or foe
I'll just smile at you and (embrace you)
No matter how bitter my experiences
A painful past that I can't escape
Merciless fate will laugh
No matter how bad fate is, I (will embrace it)

Satan told me "You're arrogant"
"I'll teach you how to be humble"
"Those songs you made won't be able to save you anymore"
"How are you going to redeem the soul that has been trapped for so long?"
"He lowered his dignity and caused scandal, just for you to be loved by the masses"
"And blessed with foolishness, but it's obvious that you're not ready"
"Soul in exchange for wealth, that's the predetermined deal"
"In this contract with your name signed on it"

Wait a minute, don't be so sure, you don't own me yet
Because the title to my soul is mine
And our agreement is just all talk
Because I signed my autograph on the contract
And I'm ready to take the long road back
Tiredness and pain don't matter, as long as I get home, hugs and kisses
From my fierce wife and two naughty kids
For their sake, I'll do anything, whatever it takes

Accepted every challenge the world throws at me
Fought, played with fire, and played tag with death
Carrying my prayers as I step out the door
Even if the wind that greets me is tearing, I'll embrace it, oh
Whatever heaven desires of me, I can handle it, oh
Even if I'm deeply wounded, piercing through my feelings, it's all worthless

I'll accept it entirely no matter how bitter it is (it's all worthless)
I'll endure it to the bone no matter how painful it is (it's all worthless)
I'll climb to the very top no matter how steep it is (it's all worthless)
Every punch I take, there's a kick in return
The world points at me so I rust it back

Accepted the meaningless challenges
To buy Loonie, I sold Marlon
Even if I lose today, tomorrow my strength will rise again
I promise, it's three times stronger than yesterday
And if the debate's all bullshit, man, it doesn't matter
No interference, even if I'm elected as the most arrogant
And even if there are many enemies who plan to ruin my name, it's worthless
Because I don't have a fake image to take care of anyway

Accepted every challenge the world throws at me
Fought, played with fire, and played tag with death
Carrying my prayers as I step out the door
Even if the wind that greets me is tearing, I'll embrace it, oh
Whatever heaven desires of me, I can handle it, oh
Even if I'm deeply wounded, piercing through my feelings, it's all worthless

There are really so many who want to ruin my name
But most of them are afraid to face me head-on
If I don't know anymore whether you're friend or foe
I'll just smile at you and (worthless)
No matter how bitter my experiences have been
A painful past that I can't escape
Merciless fate will laugh
No matter how bad fate is (ay, ay, ay, ay)

I'll accept it entirely no matter how bitter it is (worthless)
I'll endure it to the bone no matter how painful it is (worthless)
I'll climb to the very top no matter how steep it is (worthless)
Every punch I take, there's a kick in return
The world points at me so I rust it back
