Translation of the song Payong Kaibigan artist Noel Cabangon

Bata ka pa at may pagkakataon

You're still young and chances

Na darating sa buhay mo

Will come in your life

Hawak mo ang panahon

You have time on your hands

Ikaw ang gagawa ng bukas mo

You'll create your own future

Hanapin mo kung anong nais mo

Seek what you desire

Sundan mo'ng bituin ng buhay mo

Follow your life's star

Bawat daan ay may panganib

Every path has dangers

Hwag kang susuko at di padadaig

Don't give up and don't lose

Pagkat ...

Because...

Kaya mo yan, kaya mo yan

You can do it, you can do it

Kaya mo yan, kaya mo yan

You can do it, you can do it

Kaya mong sumuong sa daluyong

You can brave the storm

Kaya mong harapin ang bawat hamon

You can face every challenge

Kaya mo yan

You can do it

[RAP]

But I’m still feeling so alone

But I’m still feeling so alone

Still feel like a kid and I wonder if it shows

Still feel like a kid and I wonder if it shows

God can get a gift when I listen to my soul but I feel so unequipped as I’m out here on my own

God can get a gift when I listen to my soul but I feel so unequipped as I’m out here on my own

I’ve been out here getting stoned

I’ve been out here getting stoned

Haters throwing sticks while I got a bag of bones

Haters throwing sticks while I got a bag of bones

I can feel a shift and I come with what I know

I can feel a shift and I come with what I know

But I fear that I might slip to a story never told

But I fear that I might slip to a story never told

There’s still so much that I don’t know

There’s still so much that I don’t know

I can feel my treasure that is deeper than the gold but I’m falling for the pleasures that help silence all the woes while surrounded with the pressures making diamonds from the coals

I can feel my treasure that is deeper than the gold but I’m falling for the pleasures that help silence all the woes while surrounded with the pressures making diamonds from the coals

I don’t ever wanna fold

I don’t ever wanna fold

But my heart is getting cold

But my heart is getting cold

I dunno how this unfolds but I’m never gonna choke as I’m following my goals

I dunno how this unfolds but I’m never gonna choke as I’m following my goals

I never thought the days and nights were getting harder

I never thought the days and nights were getting harder

A very great distance with it only getting farther

To hear the immense night more immense without her

To try to be a man without learning from a father

To try to be a man without learning from a father

I have the keys but I can’t stick it in the engine

I have the keys but I can’t stick it in the engine

It’s hard to do but it’s so easy to tell them

It’s hard to do but it’s so easy to tell them

I’ve never really started the problems of my soul I guess it’s a story that I can never unfold

I’ve never really started the problems of my soul I guess it’s a story that I can never unfold

I just really need a hand that I can hold and vent to another person have it never being told

But that’s why life kinda funny

But that’s why life kinda funny

They took away my dad and they sent away my mommy

They took away my dad and they sent away my mommy

Imprisoned my other half

Imprisoned my other half

Deep inside a chamber no wonder why the weekends have turned me to Mr. Eager

Deep inside a chamber no wonder why the weekends have turned me to Mr. Eager

I ain’t stupid but I ain’t passing either

I ain’t stupid but I ain’t passing either

I know to keep from - only when I’m getting higher

I know to keep from - only when I’m getting higher

I need an inspiration all I want is to inspire

I need an inspiration all I want is to inspire

A far away land resides the woman I desire

The people I looked up to are being frowned upon

Guess I was trying to live life without my glasses on

Guess I was trying to live life without my glasses on

God wanted to help I wanted independence

this ain’t the path I thought that was intended

this ain’t the path I thought that was intended

I’m standing on a plate I feel the pressure that’s beneath me I know the wrong step will finally have the monsters eat me

I’m standing on a plate I feel the pressure that’s beneath me I know the wrong step will finally have the monsters eat me

Interlude

Interlude

H’wag kang matakot na magkamali

Don't be afraid to make a mistake

Magtiwala ka sa yong sarili

Trust yourself

Tibayan mo ang iyong dibdib

Take heart

Sadyang maraming hamon sa paligid

There are a lot of challenge around

H’wag mong sayangin ang buhay mo

Don't waste your life

Di ka nag-iisa sa mundo

You're not alone in this world

Magmalasakit sa kapwa mo

Show concern for others

Makibagay ka at gawin ang wasto

Fit in and do what's right
