Mama' para' dyan na lamang po ako sa may tabi

Bababa na po ako, heto po ang bayad ko
I will go down, so here's my pay

Si Mang Berto na sumakay sa may kanto
Mang Berto who got in from the corner of the street
at'eto na ang simula ng mga kwento
and this is the start of the stories
May kaisa-isang anak na babae. Ngaalan ay Luisa isang estudyante
He has an only daughter who's name is Luisa, a student
Ang pag-aaral iginagapang upang kahirapan ay matakasan
Her education is being worked hard on to escape poverty
Isang gabi ng Marso, bandang alas-otso
One night on March, around 8 o'clock
Maagang umuwi ng bahay si Mang Berto
*Mang Berto went home early
May dalang supot ng *pansit at *mamon
Carrying a plastic of *Pancit and a sponge cake
maligaya kahit sa bihirang pagkakataon
joyful even at rare occasions
Bukas ay magtatapos na sa kursong kinuha
Tomorrow she will graduate on the course that she took
ang kanyang pinakamamahal na si Luisa
his most beloved daughter Luisa
Dapat sana'y meron na silang patutunguhan
There was supposedly a new journey for the both of them
ngunit sadya bang may sumpa itong ating lipunan?
however, is our community really filled with bad luck?
Dahil natagpuang patay sa ilalim ng tulay
Because she was found dead under the bridge
pangarap ni Luisa inanod lang na kasabay
Luisa's dreams were also washed away

Pagdaan sa may Quezon Avenue, sumakay naman si ate Marilou
When we passed by Quezon Avenue, *ate Marilou got in
Bente kwatro anyos, walang natapos, ang anak ay nasa ICU
Twenty four years old, no education attained, her child is in ICU
Pag patak ng alas-onse, naka-kolorete
Once the clock ticks at 11pm, she's filled with makeup
Siya'y nasa tabi at pumapara ng kotse
She's on the sidewalk and waving over the cars
Kahit dos bente, kanyang papatulan pambili ng gamot
Even two forties she will grab it, to use the money to buy medicine
Para malunasan, kahit isang araw lang buhay ng kanyang anak ay madugtungan
So she can cure his only son, even just one day extension of her child's life
Bukas ng gabi naman may ilang buwan na ring kanyang ginagawa Walang matagpuan, walang syang magawa
Tomorrow night there has been a lot of months she's been doing this
Bakas sa mukha lahat ng pait ngunit sanggol nya'y walang kapalit Kahit alam nyang siya'y nahawa ng sakit
She has found nothing, she can't do anything
Para sa kanyang anak, gagawin ng papikit
You can tell on her face the struggles but her small child is irreplaceable

May isang batang nakasabit sa istribo
There's a kid on the foot-board of the jeep
Anim na taon ang pangalan ay Benito
Six years old, his name is Benito
Maghapon magdamag syang nagtratrabaho
All day he had been working
punas ng sapatos at bote't dyaryo
to shine shoes and to recycle bottles and newspapers
para may makain ang tatlong kapatid
just so his three siblings can eat
Lima, apat, dalawang taon at isang batang paslit pa lamang ay nakaatang sa kanyang balikat
Five, four, two year olds and a baby are a weight on his shoulders already
Responsibilidad iniwan ng ama'y nalipat ng ipinasok sa kulungan ang ina sila'y iniwan
The responsibilities of his father were transferred when he got in jail
Sinubukan nyang pigilan ngunit siya'y pinagtulakan
He tried to prevent his mom from going but she shoved him away
Hanggang sa nagkasakit ang bunsong kapatid at sa isang kariton ang hininga'y napatid
Until the youngest sibling got sick and in the wagon,
Ngayon ay di nabatid kung ano ang syang hatid ang bukas para kay Benito
Today he can't seem to realize, whatever it is the future has for Benito
na tila parang manhid na sa hapdi ng dulo't ng mga pangyayari Sumisinghot ng rugby, bumaba sa may malate
he became immune because of the pain and the endings of what had happened
