Magnanakaw - Asin

Ayon sa kasulatan, ayon sa mga nakaraan

Ayon sa mga nangyayari noon at sa nangyayari ngayon

Tayong mga Pilipino raw ay may ugaling magnanakaw

Mula pa no’ng unang panahon hanggang sa kasalukuyan

Ito kaya’y totoo, ito kaya’y nangyayari

Ito kaya’y nangyayari noon, nangyayari din kaya ngayon

Ito kaya’y dahil na rin sa ating katamaran

Hindi tapat sa gawain at sa iba’y nakikinabang

Tingnan mo ang iyong sarili, suriin mo ang iyong ginagawa

Ikaw ba’y isang magnanakaw at taong mapagsamantala

Hindi nagpapapawis, hindi lumuluha

Ginagamit ang galing sa hindi tamang gawa

Ang magnanakaw ay mapagsamantala

Magaling magkunwari, madaling makilala

Balat-kayong ginagamit kahit hindi sa pirata

Magnanakaw pa rin ang nakikita sa kanya

May nagnanakaw ng oras, talino at pawis

Pati ang galing kung minsa’y ninanakaw rin

Ano kaya ang dapat gawin ngayong alam na natin

Dahil na rin ba sa katamaran, hahayaan na lang ba natin

Tingnan mo ang iyong sarili, suriin mo ang 'yong ginagawa

Ikaw ba’y isang magnanakaw at taong mapagsamantala

According to the scriptures, according to the past

According to what was happening then and what is happening now

We Filipinos are said to have a tendency to steal

From ancient times to the present

This is true, this is happening

It happened then, it happens now

This is because of our laziness

Disloyal to work and taking advantage of others

Look at yourself, check what you are doing

Are you a thief and an exploitative person?

No sweat, no tears

Talent is used in the wrong way

The thief will take advantage

Good at pretending, easy to recognize

Skins are used even if not pirated

He still looks like a thief

Someone steals time, brains and sweat

It's also great that sometimes it gets stolen

What should we do now that we know?

Is it because of laziness, shall we just let it go?

Look at yourself, check what you are doing

Are you a thief and an exploitative person?
