What Are You Listening To Right Now (Part 15)

 
 
 

Dumilim ang paligid
The dark fell around me

May tumawag sa pangalan ko
someone called my name

Labing isang palapag
eleven floors

Tinanong kung okey lang ako
asked me if I'm okay

Sabay abot ng baso
while offering me a glass*
(*colloquial, a drink, a shot)

May naghihintay
Someone is waiting

At bakit ba pag nagsawa na ako
And why is it that when I find things monotonous

Biglang ayoko na
I suddenly have had enough

At ngayon
And now

Di pa rin alam
I still don't know

Kung ba't tayo nandito
Why we're here

Puwede bang itigil muna
Can we just stop it, for a while?

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo
the turning of the earth

Lumiwanag ang buwan
The moon brightens

San juan
St. John

Di ko na nasasakyan
I can't jovially relate anymore*
(*colloquial - literal: i can't ride)

Ang lahat ng bagay ay
All things are

Gumuguhit na lang
Just etching

Sa king lalamunan
at my throat

Ewan mo at ewan natin
You don't know and we don't know

Sinong may pakana?
Whose idea was it?

At bakit ba
And why did it

Tumilapon ang
spill? the

Gintong alak diyan sa paligid mo?
Golden rhum around you?

At ngayon
And now

Di pa rin alam
I still don't know

Kung ba't tayo nandito
Why we're here

Puwede bang itigil muna
Can we just stop it for a while?

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo
The turning of the earth

Umiyak ang umaga
The morning is crying

Anong sinulat ni enteng at joey diyan
What did enteng and joey write there

Sa pintong salamin
on those glass doors?

Di ko na mabasa
I can't read it anymore

Pagkat merong nagbura
Because someone erased it

Ewan ko at ewan natin
I don't know and we don't know

Sinong nagpakana?
Whose idea was it?

At bakit ba tumilapon ang spoliarium
and why did the spolarium* spill
*bloody red painting depicting colonization by Juan Luna

Diyan sa paligid mo?
right there around you?

At ngayon
and now

Di pa rin alam
we still don't know

Kung ba't tayo nandito
Why we're here

Puwede bang itigil muna
Can we just stop it for a while?

Ang pag-ikot ng mundo
the turning of the earth

Kung sakaling nakikinig
In case you're listening

Alam kong maari dingin din
I know you can listen in

Ngunit kailangan ko tong sabihin
But I need to say this

Di ko na kayang, ilihim
I can't take keeping it a secret anymore

Umaamin
Confessing

Ito ngayo’y sumigisaw ako sa hangin
Here I am, yelling at the wind

Dinadalangin
Praying

Na sana di pa huli ang lahat
Hoping not everything is too late

Sana malaman mo minahal kita
I hope you know I loved you

Sa abot ng aking makakaya
as much as I could

Ako sana’y patawarin
I hope I'm forgiven

Di ko ginusto itong makita kang nalilito
I did not want to see you confused

At dismayado, sa akin
and disappointed with me

Di ko sinasadyang talikuran kang saktan
I did not intend to turn my back at you at hurt you

Di ko rin kayang, masamain
I also can't bear to antagonize you

Kung mayron pang ibang higit sakin
If ever there is someone better than me

Pinipilit ang sarili
forcing my self

Kung hinde rin lang ako
Makakabuti sayo
If I'm not good for you

Umaamin
Confessing

Ito ngayo’y sumigisaw ako sa hangin
Here I am, yelling at the wind

Dinadalangin
Praying

Na sana di pa huli ang lahat
Hoping not everything is too late

Sana malaman mo minahal kita
I hope you know I loved you

Di inasahang, mauuwi sa ganito
I never thought it'd end this way

Kinailangan lumayo para hilumin ang puso
I had to leave to heal my heart

Nagtitiwala sa may kapal
trusting God

Na kung ikaw nga at ako
That if you and I were meant to be

Ibabalik ako sayo
I'd be sent back your way

Umaamin
Confessing

Ito ngayo’y sumigisaw ako sa hangin
Here I am, yelling at the wind

Dinadalangin
Praying

Na sana di pa huli ang lahat
Hoping not everything is too late

Sana malaman mo minahal kita
I hope you know I loved you

Umaamin
Confessing

Ito ngayo’y sumigisaw ako sa hangin
Here I am, yelling at the wind

Dinadalangin
Praying

Na sana di pa huli ang lahat
Hoping not everything is too late

Sana malaman mo minahal kita
I hope you know I loved you

Sa abot ng aking makakaya
as much as I could

Buong puso minahal kita
with my whole heart, I loved you

Sa abot ng aking makakaya
as much as I could
