“Sige Lang” – Quest

“Sige Lang” / “March On”

O~ / Oh~
Sige lang naman / March on
Magandang umaga, kaibigan / Good morning, friend

‘Eto na naman tayo / Here we are again
Bagong simula / A new beginning
Huminga ng malalim / Breathe deep
Alisin ang kaba / Get rid of your nerves
Tapos na ang kahapon / Yesterday is finished
Pwede na ‘yang itapon / You can throw it away
Huwag lang ang mga aral dapat ‘yan ay ibaon / Just not the lessons that you should keep
Katulong mo sa panibagong hamon / Helping you through new challenges
May paparating na bagong alon / There’s a new wave coming
Pwede kang lamunin o pwede mong sabayan / It can swallow you or you can ride with it
‘Yung aral ng kahapon pwede ka niyang gabayan / The lessons of yesterday can guide you
Kung ako sa’yo / If I were you
Tumayo ka na dyan / I’d get up
Huwag ka nang magpahuli / Don’t lag behind
Kami ay sundan / Follow us
Patungo sa liwanag / Toward the light
Abutin ang tala / Reach for the stars
Pagkatapos pakita sa mundo pusong nagbabaga / And then show the world your fiery heart
Upang lahat ay mamulat sa aking susulat / So that everyone will awake to what I will write
Parinig sa lahat ang aking iuulat / Let everyone hear what I will announce
Huwag mabahala / Don’t be concerned
Ako ang bahala / I got it covered
Kasangga natin si Bathala / Bathala* is with us

CHORUS:
Walang imposible / Nothing is impossible
Sige lang, sige / March on
Abot mo ang mundo / You can reach the world
Malapit, malayo / Near, far
Sama-sama tayo / We’re all together
Hanggang sa dulo / Until the end
Ano man ang pagsubok / Whatever the obstacles may be
Hindi susuko / We won’t give up
Alam kong kaya mo / I know you can
Sige lang, sige / March on
Sige lang, sige / March on
Walang imposible / Nothing is impossible

O~ / Oh~

Nagniningning / Shining
Ang pangarap ng ‘yong pusong / Is the dream in your heart
Humihiling / Asking [you]
Na kalimutan ang kahapon / To forget yesterday
Sana’y dinggin / Please listen
Sigaw ng aking puso / To the roar of my heart
Hindi susuko / We won’t give up
Hindi susuko / We won’t give up

Ilabas ang iyong pangarap / Expose your dream
Huwag mo yang itatago / Don’t hide it
Samahan mo ng sipag at tatag ng puso / Carry it with diligence and a steadfast heart
Tumayo ka sa ‘yong silya / Stand up from your seat
Ikaw ngayon ang bida / You are now the lead
Wala nang pipigil pa / Nothing can stop you
‘Eto na, ‘eto na / Here it is, here it is

(Chorus)

Hanggang ako’y humihinga / While I’m still breathing
Sugod lang, laban pa (sugod lang, laban pa) / Surge on, fight on (surge on, fight on)
Pangarap abutin / Reach your dream
Kumislap tulad ng mga bituin / Shine like the stars
Sige lang / March on
‘Di ka nag-iisa / You’re not alone
Sige lang, sige pa / March on, march on

O~ / Oh~

(Chorus)

O~ / Oh~

Sama-sama tayo / We’re all together
Sige lang, sige lang / March on, march on
Oo sige lang, sige lang / Ooh march on, march on

(Chorus)

* Bathala is a Filipino god/deity

 

“Pariwara” – Ely Buendia & Itchyworms

“Pariwara” / “Deviants”

Kung maniniwala ka na lang sa kanila / If you’re going to believe them
Pare-pareho tayo na walang magagawa / None of us will be able to do anything

Pariwara / Deviants
Tawag satin ng madla / Is what people call us
Mga walang hinaharap / Those with no future
Pariwara / Deviants
‘Di man lang kumukurap / Not even batting an eyelash
Bakit ka ba nabibigla / Why are you taken aback

REFRAIN 1:
May mga taong galit sa sinag ng araw / There are people who are angry at the rays of the sun
At kahit mumunting saya ay ayaw matanaw / And can’t even see the joy in little things
Buong mundo’y humihiyaw / The whole world is screaming

CHORUS:
Ngunit ‘di tayo / But we won’t
‘Di tayo titiklop / We won’t fold
O ‘di tayo / Oh we won’t
‘Di tayo titiklop / We won’t fold
At lahat ng hadlang sa ating pagmamahalan / And all the obstacles to our love
Balang araw ay maiintindihan / One day [they] will understand

Balewala / Unimportant
Bilin ng matatanda / [Are the] caution of the elderly
‘Wag na ‘wag ka nang magtataka / Never ever wonder
Batang gala / Wild kids
Tayo sa tingin nila / Are what they see us as
Biglang mawawalang parang bula / Suddenly will disappear like foam

REFRAIN 2:
May mga taong tumatandang walang saya / There are people who age with no joy
Mga munting pangarap ay nilimot na nila / Hopes and dreams they’ve forgotten
Utak nati’y sinasara / Our minds are being closed

(Chorus)

Kung maniniwala ka na lang sa kanila / If you’re going to believe them
Pare-pareho tayo na walang magagawa / None of us will be able to do anything

(Refrain 1)

(Chorus)

At lahat ng hadlang sa ating pagmamahalan / And all the obstacles to our love
Balang araw ay maiintindihan / One day [they] will understand
Balang araw ay maiintindihan / One day [they] will understand

 

“Walang Paalam” – Sugarfree

“Walang Paalam” / “No Goodbye”

Nagising na lang ako / I was woken up
Sa balitang ika’y muling lalakbay / By the news that you were traveling again
Mahirap tanggapin / It’s hard to accept
Na wala ka na sa’ming piling / That you’re gone from us

REFRAIN:
Litrato mo sa isip ko / Your picture in my mind
Tinig mo sa’king puso / Your sound in my heart
Iisipin ko na lang / I’ll just think
Walang paalam / That there’s no goodbye
Matutulog ka lang / That you’ll only be sleeping

CHORUS:
Bukas pag-gising ko / Tomorrow when I wake up
Nandyan ka lang muli / You’ll be there again
Sa aking tabi / Next to me
At ikukuwento mo / And you’ll tell me all about
Mga nakita mo / What you saw
Habang tayo’y magkalayo / While we were apart
Hanggang sa muli / Until next time
Ingat ka / Take care

Pinupulot ang sarili / Picking myself up
Nilalabanan ang lungkot / Fighting loneliness
At ang takot na hindi / And the fear that I won’t be able to
Makayanan ang ‘yong paglisan / Take your passing

(Refrain)

(Chorus)

(Chorus minus last 2 lines)

Ingat ka / Take care
Ingat ka / Take care
Ingat ka / Take care
Hanggang sa muli / Until next time

 

“Ikaw Pala” – Sugarfree

“Ikaw Pala” / “So It’s You”

Kung saan-saan na napadpad / I’ve ended up in all sorts of places
Naglakad, lumangoy at lumipad / I’ve walked, swum, and flown
Tuwing akala ko / Whenever I thought
Pag-ibig ay tunay na, hindi pala / Love was finally true, but it wasn’t
Hindi pala / It wasn’t

REFRAIN:
Nung hindi na nakatingin / When you weren’t looking
Atsaka ka dumating / That was when you came
Nandyan ka lamang pala / You were there all along
‘Di ka lang nagsasalita / You just weren’t speaking

CHORUS:
Ikaw pala / So it’s you
Aking hinahanap / The one I’ve been looking for
Ang bahaghari ko / My rainbow
Sa likod ng ulap / Behind the clouds
Ikaw ang hulog ng langit sa puso kong napunit / You’re a gift from the heavens for my torn heart
Dahil sa dramang paulit-ulit / Torn from a cycle of dramas
Kanina ka pa ba nariyan / Have you been here long?

(Ikaw pala) ang aking hinahanap-hanap / (So it’s you) the one I’ve been looking for
(Ikaw pala) ang awit na ‘di matanggal sa’king isipan / (So it’s you) the song I can’t get out of my head
‘Di na mahalaga / It’s not important
Kung saan ako dalhin ng hangin / Where the wind will take me
Basta’t nandito ka sa’king piling / As long as you’re here in my arms

(Refrain)

(Chorus)

Oo~ / Ooh~
Oo~ / Ooh~
Ah~
Ah~

(Chorus)

Ikaw pala / So it’s you
Ah~
Ah~

Ikaw pala (sino, nasaan, kailan ka ba) / So it’s you (who, where, when will you)
Ikaw pala (sino, nasaan, kailan ka ba) / So it’s you (who, where, when will you)
Ikaw pala (sino, nasaan, kailan ka ba) / So it’s you (who, where, when will you)
Ikaw pala / So it’s you

“Tao” by Sampaguita

‘Tulad ng isang ibon / Like a bird
Tao rin ay mamamatay / People also die
Pangarap niyang tanging nais / A sole dream that they desire
Makarating sa kabilang buhay / Is to reach the after-life

Suggest this song to a friend: who likes going to spoken word events and contemplating the meaning of life; who has posters of The Beatles on their wall

“Does She Know” by Kiana Valenciano feat. Curtismith

I’m holding back everything I wanna say
Consider yourself lucky that I’m choosing to behave

Suggest this song to a friend: who is finally free from a toxic relationship with an asshole; who thinks OPM only consists of dramatic love ballads that your uncle sings at karaoke

“Tadhana” by Up Dharma Down

Ikaw ang hantungan / You are the destination
At bilang kanlungan mo / And, I, as your shelter,
Ako ang sasagip sa’yo / Am the one to save you

Suggest this song to a friend: who wants to hear the beauty of the Tagalog language; who is always looking for tunes for late night drives out in the moonlight
