(Moon Moon)
by Joey Ayala

buwan buwan hugis duyan
(moon moon, cradle shaped)
ako'y hihimlay sa 'yong kanlungan mmm
(I will lay in your nurturing lap mmm)
buwan buwan ngiti ng kalawakan
(moon moon, smile of the universe)
isang hiwang pilak sa alkansyang kawayan
(a slice of silver in a bamboo bank)

silayan itong tahanang munti
(gaze upon this tiny hearth)
hawiin ang ulap sa langit
(part the clouds in heaven)
masdan ang sanggol sa tabi ng ina
(look upon the baby beside its mother)
biyaya ng hating gabi
(blessing in the night)
luwalhati kahit pansandali
(peace even if just for a while)

silayan itong abang manggagawa
(gaze uopn the poor worker)
pagod ang katwan at isipan
(body and mind so tired)
bigyan ng ginhawa hanggang pahinga
(give respite until rested)
nag iipon s'ya ng lakas
(the worker is saving strength)
upang harapin ang bukas
(to face tomorrow)

buwan buwan hugis duyan
(moon moon, cradle shaped)
ako'y hihimlay sa 'yong kanlungan mmm
(I will lay in your nurturing lap mmm)
buwan buwan ngiti ng kalawakan
(moon moon, smile of the universe)
isang hiwang pilak sa alkansyang kawayan
(a slice of silver in a bamboo bank)

Ulan sa Syudad

(Rain the City)
by Joey Ayala

Ang bawat patak ng ulan sa syudad
(every drop of rain in the city)
ay patak na payapa sa bubong ng isipan
(is a drop of peace upon the roof of the mind)
hala umulan ka oh kaibigang langit
(go and rain, our friend, the sky)
diligan ng payapa ang puso at isip
(water with peace the heart and the mind)

Hayaang uminom sa katas ng buhay
(let the juice of life be drank)
ang mga pagod sa maghapong trabaho
(by the wearied from the day's toil)
hayaang magtampisaw sa galak at tagumpay
(let joy and triumph be soaked)
ang batang tumanda sa paghahanap buhay
(by the child who grew old by working)

pagmasdan mo o anak ng syudad
(look oh child of the city)
di mabilang ang patak ng ulan
(the drops of rain cannot be counted)
ikaw tulad nya
(you are like that drop)
ay di nag iisa
(not alone)
sa daloy ng ating kasaysayan
(in the course of our history)

basbasan basbasan o patak ng ulan
(sprinkle, sprinkle o drops of rain)
basbasan kaming nagpupunyagi
(sprinkle us who are striving)
pagkat tulad mo kami'y nagtatagpo
(because like you we all meet)
sa daloy ng aming kasaysayan
(in the course of our history)

Ang bawat patak ng ulan sa syudad
(every drop of rain in the city)
ay patak na payapa sa bubong ng isipan
(is a drop of peace upon the roof of the mind)

Walang Hanggang Paalam

(Never Ending Goodbye)
by Joey Ayala

Di ba tayo’y narito
(Isn't the reason why we're here..)
Upang maging malaya
(is to be free)
At upang palayain ang iba
(and to free others)
Ako’y walang hinihiling
(I am not asking for anything)
Ika’y tila ganoon din
(you seem to be the same)
Sadya’y bigyang-laya ang isa’t-isa
(just to give each other freedom)

[chorus]
Ang pagibig natin ay
(our love is..)
Walang hanggang paalam
(a never ending goodbye)
At habang magkalayo
(and even as we're apart)
Papalapit pa rin ang puso
(our hearts gets closer)
Kahit na magkahiwalay
(even if separated)
Tayo ay magkasama
(we are together)
Sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo
(in the opposite sides of the world)

Ang bawat simula ay
(every beginning)
Siya ring katapusan
(is also its ending)
May patutunguhan ba
(is it going somewhere)
Ang ating pagsinta
(our love?)
Sa biglang tingin
(at first glance)
Kita’y walang kinabukasan
(it has no future)
Subalit di-malupig ang pag-asa
(but hope cannot be conquered)

[chorus]
Ang pagibig natin ay
(our love is..)
Walang hanggang paalam
(a never ending goodbye)
At habang magkalayo
(and even as we're apart)
Papalapit pa rin ang puso
(our hearts gets closer)
Kahit na magkahiwalay
(even if separated)
Tayo ay magkasama
(we are together)
Sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo
(in the opposite sides of the world)

(ulitin ang koro)
(repeat chorus)

Sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo
(in the opposite sides of the world)

Sugatang Langit

(Wounded Heaven)
by Joey Ayala

May sugat daw ang langit, langit ay sugatan
(Theres a wound in heaven, heaven is wounded)
sa ating pagkalimot, sa ating kapabayaan
(by our forgetfulness, by our negligence)
ang langit ay nagtatampo, sa ating paglalayo
(the heavens are withdrawn, because of our parting)
Sa kanya
(with it)

Kaya pala minsan ayaw bumuhos ang ulan
(that is why sometimes the rain refuses to fall)
at kung minsan naman sobra sobra ang bugso
(and sometimes it falls so hard)
hindi mapipigilan maari lamang sabayan
(it cannot be stopped, we can only join)
ng awitin
(with its song)

Ang himig ng ulan ay sabayan ng gitara
(the hymn of the rain, accompany with a guitar)
at tyempo ng patak ay sabayan ng luha
(the beat of the drops, accompany with tears)
ang himig sa 'ting puso
(the song in our hearts)
hayaan munang maglaro
(let it just play awhile)
sa ulan
(in the rain)

May sugat daw ang langit, langit ay sugatan
(Theres a wound in heaven, heaven is wounded)
sa ating pagkalimot, sa ating kapabayaan
(by our forgetfulness, by our negligence)
Maari nating balikan langit nating iniwan
(we can return to the heaven we left)
balikan
(return)

Walang Ibang Sadya

horvax — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:32:00 -0000

(No Other Purpose)

aanhin ang mata kung walang mapagmasdang
(what use are the eyes if you don't see)
sayaw sa indayog ng talahiban
(the sway in the dance of the grasses)
aanhin ang tenga kung hindi mapakinggan
(what use are the ears if you don't hear)
ang awit ng hangin sa punong-kahoy
(the song of the wind on the branches)
aanhin ang labi kundi madampian
(what use are lips if it can't be kissed)
ng ulan o di kaya'y mahagkan ng ilog
(by the rain or kissed by the lake)
pagmasdan, pakinggan, lasapin ang mundo
(see, hear, taste the world)
walang ibang sadya ang ayos nito
(there is no other purpose for how it's formed)

bulaklak sa paanan naghihintay ng pansin
(the flower upon your feet is waiting for your attention)
ano pa ang buhay niya kundi mo langhapin
(what use is its life if you don't smell its fragrance)
ang bato sa batis - kinis niya'y masasayang
(the rocks by the streams, its smoothness is wasted)
kundi mo mahaplos ang pisngi niyang alay
(if you don't feel the cheek that it offers)
anhin pa ang balat kundi maramdaman
(what use is the skin if it doesn't feel)
ang lambing ng araw at ang sariwang simoy
(the affection of the sun and the fresh breeze)
langhapin, haplusin, pansinin ang mundo
(smell, touch, notice the world)
walang ibang sadya ang ayos nito
(there are no other purpose for how it's formed)

ganoon din ang tao - nang siya'y mahalin
(the same with humanity when loved)
ang tanging pangarap, tanging katuparan
(its only dream, only realization)

Wala nang Tao sa Santa Filomena

horvax — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:46:45 -0000

(there are no people left in Santa Filomena by Joey Ayala)

Nag-iisang lumilipad ang langay-langayan
(the swallow flies alone)
Anino niya'y tumatawid sa nanunuyong palayan
(its shadow crosses the drying fields)
Tanging sagot sa sigaw niya ay katahimikan
(silence is the only answer to its cries)
At kaluskos ng hangin sa dahon
(and the whisper of the wind on the leaves)

'Sang ikot pa, huling sulyap mula sa ibabaw ng bayan
(one more circle, last glimpse above the land)
Mga kubong pinatatag ng lupa at kawayan
(huts sturdied by bamboo and earth)
Paalam na, paalam na ang awit ng langay-langayan
(goodbye, goodbye is the song of the swallow)
Nguni't walang nakasaksi sa palayo niyang lutang
(but no witness saw his furthering float)

Pagka't wala nang tao sa Sta. Filomena
(because there are no people left in Santa Filomena)
Walang aani sa alay ng lupa
(no one will harvest the offering of the earth)
Nakayuko ang palay, tila bang nalulumbay
(the grain stalks bows as if saddened)
Tila bang naghihintay ng karit at ng kamao
(as if waiting for the sickle and a hand)

Nahihinog ang bunga ng mangga't bayabas
(the mango and guava fruit ripens)
Pinipitas ng hangin at sa lupa'y hinahampas
(picked by the wind and lashed upon the earth)
Sinisipsip ng araw ang tamis at katas
(the sun sips its sweetness and juice)
Iniiwan ang binhing umaasa
(leaving the seeds to hope)

At pagdating ng tag-ulan sa pinaghasikan
( and when the rain comes in the fields)
Upang hugutin ang buhay mula sa kamatayan
(to pull life from death)
Muling dadaloy ang dugo sa ugat ng parang
(blood will flow again to the roots of the fields)
Subali't ang lahat na 'to'y masasayang
(but all of these will be wasted)

Pagka't wala nang tao sa Sta. Filomena
(because there are no people left in Santa Filomena)
Walang aani sa alay ng lupa
(no one will harvest the offering of the earth)
Nakayuko ang palay, tila bang nalulumbay
(the grain stalks bows as if saddened)
Naghahandog ng buhay sa karit at kamao
(offering life to the sickle and the hand)

Lumilipad, sumisigaw ang langay-langayan
(the swallow cries and flies)
Nasaan ka at bakit ka nagtatago taumbayan
("where are you? why are you hiding people?")
Panahon na, panahon nang balikan ang iniwan
("It's time, time to return to what you left")
Dinggin natin ang tangis ng abang langay-langayan
(Let us heed the cry of the swallow)
Dinggin natin ang tangis ng abang langay-langayan
(Let us heed the cry of the swallow)
