Translation of the song Magda artist Gloc-9

[Rico]

[Rico]

Magdalena anong problema?

Magdalena what's the matter?

Bakit di ka makawala sa kadena?

Why can't you be free from chains?

At sa gabi-gabi ikaw ay nasa selda ng hanap buhay mo ngayon

And every night you're a prisoner of your occupation today

Magdalena anong problema?

Magdalena what's the matter?

Alam naman natin na dati kang nena

We all know you were just a kid before

at sa iyong ama'y ikaw ay prinsesa

and you're a princess to your father

Anong nangyari sayo?

What happened to you?

Ito'y kwento nang isang babaeng

This is a story about a girl

tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi

who is asleep in the morning, awake at night

Ang kanyang mukha'y puno ng kolorete

Her face is filled with makeup

sa lugar na ang ilaw ay patay sinde

in a place where the lights are blinking on and off

Simulan nating ang istorya

Let's begin the story

[Gloc-9]

[Gloc-9]

Ako'y kanyang matalik na kaibigan

I am her close friend

Ernesto ang aking pangalan

Ernesto is my name

Kwentong dapat niyong malaman

The story you all need to know

Wag nang magbulag-bulagan

Don't pretend to be blind anymore

Bakit ang nais natin ay malaman ang baho ng iba?

Why do we fancy someone else's dirty secrets?

Pagbibigyan kita

I will grant what you want

Kilala mo ba si Magda?

Do you know who's Magda?

Na aking kababata mula pa ng pagkabata

She's my childhood friend since we're young

Kami laging magkasama, mga bangkang papel sa sapa

We're always together, paper boats on the stream

Kanyang ngiti lumiliwanag ang paligid

Her smile lightens up the whole place

at pag siya'y dumadaan, mga leeg ay pumipilipit

and when she passes by, necks are turning

Ubod ng ganda noong siya ay nagdalaga

Very beautiful when she became a lady

Tuwing kausap ko na, malimit akong tulala

Everytime I talk to her, I'm often dazed

Kahit may nararamdaman, pinilit kong isara ang bibig

Even if I'm attracted, I forced to keep my mouth shut

at pintig ng puso para sa kanya

and my heartbeat just for her

At sa sayawan, matapos kaming makapagtapos

And on the dance floor, after we graduated

dahil pinawis ang mukha ako ay nagpunas ng pulbos

my face got sweaty so I wiped some powder

kahit parang hindi pantay ay nagmamadaling hinila

even if it's not equally spread, she's on the rush pulling (somebody)

pinakilala niya lalake na taga-Maynila

she introduced a guy from Manila

[Gloc-9]

Maraming taon ako'y nalipasan

Years have passed me by

Pinilit ko mang takasan

I tried to escape it

bagkos ay aking nalaman ang tunay kong kailangan

however I realized exactly what I need

Di ko maibaling ang pagtingin ko sa iba

I can't divert my feelings to someone else

Minamahal ko siya, hahanapin ko si Magda

I'm loving her still, I will look for Magda

Lumuwas habang nagdarasal na maabutan

I traveled while praying to reach her

sa lugar na ang sabi'y kanyang pinagtatrabahuan

in the place where she is said to be working

Nakita kong larawan niya na nakadikit sa pintuan

I saw her picture attached to a door

Iba man ang kulay ng buhok di ko malilimutan

Even with a colored hair, I will never forget

Ang kanyang mata at tamis ng kanyang ngiti

Her eyes and the sweetness of her smile

at dahil ubod ng saya hindi na nagatubili

and because I'm joyful I didn't hesitate

Agad pumasok sa silid pero bakit ang dilim?

I hurriedly went inside the room but why is it dark?

Madaming lamesa't mga nag iinumang lasing

Plenty of tables and many drunk are drinking

Nang biglang nagpalakpakan may mabagal na kanta

There's a sudden applause and a slow song played

Sa maliit na entablado, ay nakita ko na

In a small stage, I already saw her

Ako ay nagtaka, nagtanong, nagkamot

I started to wonder, I asked, scratched my head

Bakit siya sumasayaw na sapatos lang ang suot?

Why is she dancing with only her shoes on?

Ito'y kwento nang isang babaeng

This is a story about a girl

tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi

who is asleep in the morning, awake at night

Ang kanyang mukha'y puno ng kolorete

Her face is filled with makeup

sa lugar na ang ilaw ay patay sinde

in a place where the lights are blinking on and off

Ituloy natin ang istorya

Let's continue the story

[Gloc-9]

[Gloc-9]

Agad siyang sumama sakin walang kakabakaba

She quickly went off with me without nervousness

ang trato nya sakin ay nobyo, tila katakataka

She treats me like a boyfriend, it's somewhat doubtful

Bumaba sa taxing pinara sa may Sta. Mesa

We dropped off from a taxi we hitched in Sta. Mesa

Parang ako'y bida sa mga sumunod na eksena

I'm like the protagonist on the following scenes

Kung ito ay panaginip ayaw ko nang magising

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore

ngunit ako'y nanaginip umaga na nang magising

but I had a dream, I woke up in the morning

Ang naabutan ko lamang ay may sobre sa lapag

The only thing left is a note on the floor

liham para sakin na isinulat nya magdamag

A letter for me which was written by her all night

Kahit gulong-gulo ang isip, pinilit kong basahin

Even if confused, I tried to read it

di malilimutan ang mga sinabi niya sa akin

I will never forget the words she said to me

[Jennylyn & Gloc-9]

[Jennylyn & Gloc-9]

Mahal kong Ernesto, alam kong tulog mo'y malalim

Ernesto my love, I know you're in a deep sleep

Di nako nag paalam, di na kita ginising

I didn't say goodbye, I didn't wake you up

Salamat nga pala sa pasalubong mong *Kalamay

By the way thanks for the *Calamay you've brought me

at sa pinakamasayang gabi ng aking buhay

and to the happiest night of my life

Nung iniwan ko ang baryo natin ang akala ko

When I left our village, all I thought

isang tunay na pag-ibig ang matatagpuan ko

I would find the one true love I was looking for

Hinanap kung saan-saan at kung kani-kanino

I searched everywhere and to anybody

di ko inakalang ito ang kahahantungan ko

I never thought this would be my destination

Imbes na ako'y sagipin, itinulak sa bangin

Instead of saving me, I was pushed to the edge

Ito palang ibig sabihin ng *kapit sa patalim

This is what *cluthing the blade on the knife means

Kung mabaho, sabunin. Kung makati, gamutin

If it stinks, rinse it. If it's itchy, medicate it.

Kung hindi na masikmura ay ibaling ang tingin

If can't stand it, drift the attention

Kahit ako ay bayaran at kaladkaring babae

Even if I'm getting paid for being a whore

Alam ang amoy ng laway ng iba't ibang lalake

Who's familiar to the smell of different guys' saliva

Isa lang ang kaya kong sayo'y maipagmalaki

There's one thing I can be at least proud of

ikaw lang ang bukod tanging hinalikan ko sa labi

you're the only guy I've kissed on the lips

Gusto ko mang manatili sayong mga yakap

Although I want to remain in your embrace

Ako ma'y natutuwa dahil ako'y iyong nahanap

I may be glad because you were able to find me

Wala na yatang walis ang makakalinis ng kalat

There might be no broom to clean the mess

at ang katulad ko sayo ay di karapatdapat

and a girl like me is never worthy of you

Pinagarap kong sa altar ako'y iyong ihatid

I dreamed of you bringing me to the altar

ngunit sa dami ng pait ang puso ko'y namanhid

however plenty of pain made me heartless

Di ko makakalimutan ang pabaon mong halik

I will never forget your rapturous kiss

pero pakiusap huwag ka na sana pang babalik

but please I'm begging you to no longer return

Regalo ng may kapal na ikaw ay makilala

It's a gift from above to be acquainted with you

Salamat sa alaala. Nagmamahal, Magda

Thank you for the memories. Love, Magda
