SUNLIGHT

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

The night is deep
sounds of night creatures abound
my eyes are already weary
but my spirit is awake

My mind is thinking very fast
tumultuous, it's hard to understand
thoughts that come to my mind
sounds that are defeaning

CHORUS
as the world keeps on turning
as the wind blows fast
as the rain drops heavily
my spirit is with you

as the hands of the clock quickly tick
i don't know when
but the painful rays of the sun
will bring light to my mind

repeat chorus

i will come with you, if you will take me with you (2x)

COME MY FRIEND, TREAT US FOR A DRINK!

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

what are we all waiting for?
we have nothing more to do anyways
get the pitcher and the shot glass
i'll take care of the appetizer.

but my friend, where are you going?
Our table is already set
the food is prepared;
so come on in already

CHORUS
come my friend,treat us for a drink
let us not delay it anymore
come my friend,treat us for a drink
let's start the good times.

start passing the drink around
stop messing around
but don't get too much food
for we also want to have our share of that.

REPEAT CHORUS
come my friend,treat us for a drink
COME MY FRIEND, DRINK

IN A FARAWAY LAND

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

I AM NOW IN A FAR AWAY LAND
MANY THINGS MAKE ME REMEMBER
ALL OF YOU THERE IN OUR HOMELAND
MY TRUE FRIENDS
I FEEL HAPPY AND SAD ABOUT OUR PAST

MANY YEARS WILL STILL COME AND GO
IT WILL STILL TAKE A LONG TIME
BEFORE WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN

THE JOYS AND THE LONELINESS THAT WE HAVE UNDERGONE
ARE THE THINGS THAT BIND OUR FRIENDSHIP TOGETHER

CHORUS
WHEN I COME HOME I HOPE IT'S STILL YOU, MY FRIENDS
THOUGH WE HAVE OUR OWN FAMILIES I HOPE YOU WILL STILL REMEMBER ME AS YOUR FRIEND

LET'S BRING BACK THE HAPPINESS THAT HAS GONE

EVEN FOR JUST A NIGHT AND A DAY

LET'S MEET UP AND SING TOGETHER AGAIN...LA LA LA

REPEAT CHORUS
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S REALLY SAD TO THINK THAT WE WILL COME TO THIS SITUATION
WHERE WE WILL PART WAYS MY FRIENDS, NOT WITH PAIN AND SADNESS BUT WITH JOY IN OUR HEARTS
REPEAT CHORUS

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

it seems as if it was only yesterday, when we were all together
the sunset that comes to us were always so fun
sometimes we stay till the wee hours of the morning drinking and singing

when scolded we go straight to capusan
if not we drink at tabunan

everyday we are like this, we rondezvous at darbu's
sometimes at bhomils'
under the mango tree, we will gather
then chip in money for the drinks
when the sunset comes, we will start drinking

our neighbors are entertained in our craziness that doesn't have any sense
but it's fun to think about such times when we were together

when saturday comes, we will climb up Mount Bonbon
we dO nothing but drink
but it's fun to think about such times because we have girls by our side
woo to the one who has no partner, for he will be the one to serve everyone

GRANDMA’S SCOLDING

Translated by Anita Dela Torre & Joey Fabello

GRANDMA SAID I SHOULD CHOOSE THE WARY ONE
FOR NOBODY HAS TOUCHED HER YET
NOBODY HAS TAMED HER YET
GRANDMA SAID I SHOULDN’T CHOOSE THE TAMED ONE
FOR EVEN IF YOU DON’T CALL HER, SHE’LL COME NEAR YOU.

GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER FIGURE

CHORUS
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING I CAN STILL REMEMBER
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING, UP TO NOW I CAN STILL HEAR THEM

GRANDMA SAID DON’T HAVE TWO LOVERS AT THE SAME TIME
FOR THE HEART WILL HAVE A HARD TIME, IT CANNOT BE DIVIDED
GRANDMA SAID DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE
IT’S DANGEROUS, IT RUINS LIVES
REPEAT SECOND STANZA & CHORUS
GRANDMA SAID STUDY HARD
DON’T MESS AROUND
DON’T DRINK YET
REPEAT FIRST STANZA
