Translation of the song Kailan tunay na mabubuhay? [When Will My Life Begin?] artist Tangled (OST)

Filipino/Tagalog

Kailan tunay na mabubuhay? [When Will My Life Begin?]

English translation

When Will I Truly Live? [When Will My Life Begin?]

Dating gawi gigising tuwing umaga

Like I used to, I wake up every morning

Sisimulang maglinis at magwalis

I'll start to clean and sweep

Tapos nito,labada, gamit punasan

After this, wash the clothes, wipe everything

At walang 'sang oras, ay natapos ko na

And without one hour I'm already done

Kaya't magbabasa libro, dal'wa tatlo

So I'll read a book, two or three

Magdadagdag ng kung ano sa obra ko

Add something for me to do

Tugtugan, gantsilyo

Play music, crochet

Tanong sa isip ko

Question on my mind

Kailan tunay na mabubuhay?

When will I truly live?

Hapon naman libangan ay darts, pagkain,

In the afternoon I divert to darts, food,

Paper mache, sige mag-ballet at chess

Paper mache, dance ballet and chess

Lilok at maglaro, kandila'y hubugin

Sculpt and play, shape some candles

Mag-unat, magpinta, umakyat o magburda

Stretch, paint, climb and embroider

Muling magbabasa, kapag may oras pa

I'll read again, if there's still time

Muling magpipinta, tiyak may espasyo pa

I'll paint again, for sure there's still space

Tapos magsusuklay

Then I'll comb

Suklay lang ng suklay

Just comb and comb

Nakakulong sa gan'tong buhay

Imprisoned with this kind of life

Tanong sa isip, ay pa'no,

Question on my mind, is how,

Kung pwede, ay kailan'

If possible, when

Kailan mabubuhay?

When will I live?

Ilaw bukas matatanaw

Light, tomorrow I'll see

Bawat taon sa kaarawan ko

Every year on my birthday

Nais masdan, gabing matanglaw

I want to look at the illuminated night

Nanay siguro'y ibigay ang

Maybe Mother will grant

Hiling ko

My wish
