Текст и перевод песни Lea Salonga - Laki Sa Layaw (Jeproks)

Laki Sa Layaw (Jeproks)

May mga taong lumaki sa hirap
Merong laki sa layaw, puro sarap
Kung siya'y titigan mo, akala mo kung sino
Hindi na bumababa sa kanyang trono.

Lahat ng gusto niya, ibinigay na sa kanya
Ngunit wala pa rin siyang kasiyahan
Hindi pa makuntento sa kanyang mga bisyo
Nilubog pa n'ya ang sarili sa putik.

Kilala sa bayan, asal ay gahaman
Malakas sa inuman, istorbo sa daan
Meron pa kayang pag-asang magbago
Ang taong lumaki sa layaw?
(Come on everyone, sing it!)

Laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeproks
Laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeproks
Laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeproks
(Uy, kayo jan sa-sa taas, kumanta kayo!)
Ad lib:

Sobra sa bigat, hindi na mabuhat
Sobra sa tamad, laging hubad
Hindi na n'ya mapigilan ang kanyang mga bisyo
Kaya ang bagsak niya'y sa kalaboso.

Repeat Refrain & Chorus

A Boy Growing Up in Luxury (Dude)

There are those who grow up in hardships
Some grow up in luxury, filled with pleasure
If you look at him, you'd think he's someone important
He never comes down from his throne.

Everything he desired has been given to him
But he is still not satisfied
He's not yet content with his vices
He has even sank himself into the gutter.

He is known in our town, for his greed
A heavy drinker, a nuisance on the road
Is there still hope he can change
A man who grew up in luxury?
(Come on everyone, sing it!)

A boy growing up in luxury, a boy growing up in luxury, dude
A boy growing up in luxury, a boy growing up in luxury, dude
A boy growing up in luxury, a boy growing up in luxury, dude
(Hey, you guys up there, sing it!)
Ad lib:

Overweight, he can't even lift himself
Too lazy, he's always naked
He can't control his vices anymore
That's why he ended up in the slammer.

Repeat Refrain & Chorus
