Текст песни Distansya (霏) с переводом

Anak, naknakan ng pait

Magtiis sa amo kong na malupit

Mapanggiit na para sa lang sa ‘yo

Mabayaran para sa ating hiwalayan

Kalingain, alagaan ang pamilyang 'di pamilya ko

Kahit maghalo p’ang balat sa tinalupan

Basta’t may patutunguhan ang katas ng pawis at dugo

Sana ‘wag mo sinasayang, sana’y wag mong hahayaang

Lumaking katulad ko ang 'sang katulad mo

‘di malimot ang mga luha mo

Gapos ng iyong munting braso sa aking binti

Pinipigil ang hikbi, hinihilang wag na lumayo

‘di mabubura sa bangungot ko

Ang tanong sa’yong mata «sino nang matitira?

May nagawa bang masama? ba’t kailangan ma-abandona?

Oo iniwan ka iyong ama

Pero kailanman hindi ng iyong ina

Pangako ito’y pansamantala, uwi ako agad

Nanangis ka’t nakiusap, wag kang sumalangit

Dito ka lang sa lupa para 'to sayo kaya paalam na

Para sa pangarap na ginhawa

Tiniis ko itong distansya

Upang sa gabi makatulog kayo (Mahimbing)

Mainit na pagkain sa lamesa

Sakripisiyong tiniis na hindi kayo kasama

Kumusta na kayo?

Kumusta na kayo? (Para sa ginhawa)

Kumusta na kayo?

Kumusta na kayo?

Anong pinagkaiba ng mapagsamantalahan dito at diyan?

Dito may sweldo

Gusto ko nang umuwi pero ‘di mabuti

Balita sa amin, kelan darating pagbabago?

Kamusta na anak? kamusta pag-aaral?

Kamusta si bunso? bakit tila tumutumal?

Tila tumatamlay tawagan nati’t pag-uusap

Wag magtampo please, parang-awa, pakiusap

Anong bago anak? naku mag-ingat ka diyan

Balita ko sa atin may tinira na naman

Anak… andiyan ka pa ba?

Wag mo please sabihing nawala ka na

Humalik sa sahig para pakawalan

Ng amo, lumipad libing mong dinatnan

'di to pagbabago nais kong uwian

Pano naging tulak ang may kapansanan

Yayakapin kita kahit na duguan ka pa

Tulad nang ikay bagong silang ko pa lang

Hugas kamay silang nagsasabi

Na binoto ko to wala nang bawian

Para sa pangarap na ginhawa

Tiniis ko itong distansya

Upang sa gabi makatulog kayo (Mahimbing)

Mainit na pagkain sa lamesa

Sakripisiyong tiniis na hindi kayo kasama

Kumusta na kayo?

Kumusta na kayo? (Para sa ginhawa)

Kumusta na kayo?

Kumusta na kayo?

Kumusta na? Ayos pa ba? (Para sa ginhawa)

Ang buhay natin, buhay pa ba?

Buhay pa ba? Kumusta na? (Para sa ginhawa)

(Para sa ginhawa)

(Facebook Messenger call ringing)

My child, it’s a bitter pill to swallow

Being with a boss so cruel

Stingy with money, all for you

The wages of our separation

To nurture and care for a family that’s not my own

Enduring anything no matter what

As long as my sweat and blood achieves something

Hopefully you don’t waste it, don’t let yourself

Grow up and become someone like me

I won’t forget your tears

Your little arms clutching at my legs

Stifling your sobs, pulling at me so I wouldn’t leave

I can’t erase from my nightmares

The question in your eyes, saying, ‘who will be left?

Did I do anything wrong? Why do I need to be abandoned?

Yes, you were abandoned by your father

But never by your mother

I promise this is temporary, I’ll come home soon

You begged and pleaded for me to not take to the heavens

Please, stay here on earth — but I do this for you so it’s farewell for now

For the comfort we dreamed of

I endured the distance

So you could sleep soundly at night (comfort)

Hot food on the table

I endured the sacrifice of us not being together

How are you all doing?

How are you all doing? (For comfort.)

How are you all doing?

How are you all doing?

What’s the difference between exploitation here

And exploitation back home? Here, we get paid

I long to return but news from home

Isn’t great, where is the promised change?

How are you doing, my child? How is school? How are your siblings?

Why are our phone calls and conversations dwindling?

Please don’t be angry at me, please, I beg you

What’s going on, my child? Oh no please take care there

I hear people are being killed back home

My child… are you still there?

Please don’t tell me you’ve gone

I kissed the floor so my boss would let me go

Flew home only to arrive at your wake

This is not the change I wanted to come home to

How could they accuse a disabled child of selling drugs?

I will cradle your bloody body

Like I did when I birthed you

They wash their hands, saying

That I voted for this regime, there’s no taking it back

For the comfort we dreamed of

I endured the distance

So you could sleep soundly at night (comfort)

Hot food on the table

I endured the sacrifice of not being together

How are you all doing?

How are you all doing? (For comfort.)

How are you all doing?

How are you all doing?

How are you all doing? Everything okay? (For comfort)

This life, are we still alive?

Still alive? Everything okay? (For comfort)

(For comfort)
