Текст и перевод песни Mike Kosa feat. Ayeeman - Mahal Kong Kultura

Mahal Kong Kultura

Eto ang klase ng musika
Na aking nang pinagmulan
Mga konsepto kong naisip dito ko
Sinimulan mga hangarin ko nung bata
Na maging makata na bumuo ng mga
Awitin gamit ang mga talata na naitala
Sa aking mga sulat kamay mga pangarap
Na akala koy hindi ibibigay kahit pagod na naghintay
Ay umaasang darating na balang araw ang awitin koy
Kakantahin nyo rin at laging bukambibig ng mga tambay
Sa lansangan ang pangalan nagmarka na dito sa ating larangan
At iyong sasambitin na meron pang huling alas na magtataas
Ng antas ng hiphop sa pinas
Mahalaga saakin ang pinagmulan
Hindi sumagi sa sisipan ko "hangang dyan nalang"
Ang tinig kong lumilipad subukan nyong pakinggan
Simpleng sandata na ginamit ko nang masimulan
Mahal kong kultura itataas ko ako ang tala sa daan
Magiging kawal dito sa ating kultura mandirigmang
Sumisigaw sa kagubatan ay humihiyaw

Verse II
Anu kung tagalog ang ginamit ko at hindi ingles
Masasabihan mo bang ang awit koy hindi mabangis?
Kahit kabisado mo ng mangalinya ko't sinasabayan
Dahil angkop lang sa panlasa't di mababaduyan
Pinagdaanan ang ibat' ibang klase ng laro
Limang taong naglakbay upang aking matamo ang
Pangarap na maging sikat at makilala ng lahat
Sa pamamagitan ng mga awit at kumita ng sapat
Sa pagkanta sa entablado sa harapan ng mga tao
Binubuksan ang mga diwang magmula sa pagkasarado
Sa kanta na nakakasado na aking binagsak apg narinig mo

Ewan ko lang kung di ka pumalakpak

Repeat mga pangarap na itinanim ko ngayon umani
Ng respeto na hindi ko na mabilang sa pagdami
At pagkalat ng mga kanta na aking naisinulat naging
Isa sa instrumento upang aking maipamulat na ang
Musikang rap ay hindi basta libangan itinuturing na
Trabaho na pwedeng pagkakitaan ang mga salitang yan
Ay handa ko ng isalin upang sumagi sa mga isip imbis na
Babuyin ay pagyamanin ang tugtugan na kinamulatan
Natin nuoon itinama ko mga mali ngayon sa aking panahon
Ito ang tamang pagkakataon upang aking msabi na ang kulturang
To ay makikilala ng marami na magiging pundasyon at inspirasyon
Sa mga makatang susunod sa ating henerasyon magsisilbing

Atensyon upang gisingin ang lahat na ang kulturang to ay sabay sabay
Nating iangat
Repeat

Culture That I Love

This is the type of music
That I originate from
My concepts that I thought of, I started here
My aspirations began as a child
To become a poet who creates
Songs using verses that were noted down
In my handwritten notes; dreams
That I thought would never be fulfilled even though I waited, exhausted
I hoped that one day my songs
You will also sing and will always be on the lips of those who hang out
My name has made its mark in the streets, in our field
And you will say that there is still a final trump card that will raise
The level of hip hop in the Philippines
My origin is important to me
It never crossed my mind to think "that's enough"
Try listening to my flying voice
A simple weapon that I used to start off with
My dear culture, I will raise it high; I am the beacon on the path
I will become a soldier in our culture, a warrior
Screaming in the jungle, howling

Verse II
What if I used Tagalog instead of English?
Would you say that my song is not fierce?
Even if you have memorized all of my lines and sing along
Because it is just apt for your taste and will not bore you
I have experienced various types of games
Traveled for five years so that I could attain
The dream of becoming famous and of being known by everyone
Through songs and by earning enough
By singing on stage in front of people
Opening up minds that were previously closed
In a song that is catchy which I dropped, when you heard it

I don't know if you won't applaud

Repeat dreams that I planted, now I am reaping
Respect which I can no longer count, being too much
And the spread of songs that I have written became
An instrument to open the minds of others who
See rap music not just as a pastime; it is considered as
A job that one can earn from, those words
I am now ready to translate, so that it may come to mind instead
Of being foolish; enrich the music that we grew up with
Ours, back then; I corrected the mistakes, now, in my time
This is the right time for me to say that this culture
Will be known by many which will become a foundation and inspiration
For the poets who will come after our generation, it will serve as

Attention, in order to awaken everyone so that this culture, together
Let us all raise it up
Repeat
