Pagsusuma - KOLATERAL, BLKD

Halos tatlumpung libo, halos tatlumpung libo

Mga bangkay na bunga ng kontra-drogang pasismo

Putak ehekutibo ay putok sa mga sitio

Pangako kilo-kilo, tinitira piso-piso

Lampas-limang libo, lampas limang libo dito mula

Sa mga opisyal na operasyong parang dula

Higit dalawampu’t tatlong libo naman

Mga bangkay na pagkamatay iniimbestigahan

Ano pa man ang kategorya, magaling man ang maniobra

May simpleng katotohanang dapat tumatak sa memorya

Ang halaga ng buhay walang sukatan

At anumang hindi masukat hindi matutumbasan

Karamihan sa kanila mga breadwinner pa

Naiwang mag-anak delubyo ang iniinda

Maraming nagkawatak-watak, mga anak walang patnubay

Kaya ‘di lang mga pinatay inagawan ng buhay

Ilang dam, ilang dam, ilang dam ba ng dugo

Ang kailangan para droga sa bayan ay masugpo?

Ilan bang, ilan bang, ilan bang henerasyong

Pagdaramdam at poot ang susunog sa nasyon?

Tayo’y walang bilang sa mga hari-harian

Kaya ‘di mabilang-bilang mga pinag-iinitan

Mga pananagutan pa’no makakalkula

Kung isang bangkay pa lang, ‘di ba’t dapat sobra na?

More than five thousand, more than five thousand dead

That’s what they say, the officials of this theatrical operation

While more than twenty-three thousand murders more

Are being investigated

The labels don’t matter, the manipulations don’t matter

There is a simple truth we must keep in our minds

That there is no measuring the value of a life

And whatever is immeasurable cannot be replaced

Most of the victims are breadwinners of their families

Children left behind are struggling in the deluge

Families torn apart, children without guardians

So it’s not only the murdered who lost their lives

How many dams, how many dams, how many dams of blood

Do we need before the country’s drug problem is defeated?

How many, how many, how many generations'

Pain and bitterness will burn this nation?

We don’t count in the minds of the ruling class

That’s why the hunted are immeasurable

How can you calculate accountability

When even just one dead body is too much?

Almost thirty thousand, almost thirty thousand

Corpses are the product of the anti-drug policy fascism

Executive bullshit equals bursts of gunfire in the communities

They promised they’d seize kilos, they kill for mere coins

The labels don’t matter, the manipulations don’t matter

There is a simple truth we must keep in our minds

That there is no measuring the value of a life

And whatever is unmeasurable cannot be replaced

How do you reckon excess?

How do you reckon loss?

How do you reckon violence?

How do you reckon burdens?

Almost thirty thousand, almost thirty thousand

Corpses resulting from anti-drug fascism

Executive fire is fire on sites

Promise kilo by kilo, save peso by peso

Over five thousand, over five thousand from here

In official theatrical operations

More than twenty three thousand

Postmortems are being investigated

No matter the category, the maneuver is good

There is a simple fact that should be imprinted on the memory

The value of life is immeasurable

And whatever cannot be measured cannot be equaled

Most of them are still breadwinners

The family was left devastated

Many are scattered, children without guidance

So it's not just those who were killed who were robbed of their lives

How many dams, how many dams, how many dams of blood?

What is needed for drugs in the town to be suppressed?

How many, how many, how many generations

Grievance and hatred will burn the nation?

We are not numbered among the kingdoms

So there are countless things that are heated

Responsibilities yet to be calculated

If it's just one corpse, shouldn't that be too much?

More than five thousand, more than five thousand dead

That's what they say, the officials of this theatrical operation

While more than twenty-three thousand murders more

Are being investigated

The labels don't matter, the manipulations don't matter

There is a simple truth we must keep in our minds

That there is no measuring the value of a life

And whatever is immeasurable cannot be replaced

Most of the victims are breadwinners of their families

Children left behind are struggling in the deluge

Families torn apart, children without guardians

So it's not only the murdered who lost their lives

How many dams, how many dams, how many dams of blood

Do we need before the country's drug problem is defeated?

How many, how many, how many generations'

Pain and bitterness will burn this nation?

We don't count in the minds of the ruling class

That's why the hunted are immeasurable

How can you calculate accountability

When even just one dead body is too much?

Almost thirty thousand, almost thirty thousand

Corpses are the product of the anti-drug policy fascism

Executive bullshit equals bursts of gunfire in the communities

They promised they'd seize actions, they kill for mere coins

The labels don't matter, the manipulations don't matter

There is a simple truth we must keep in our minds

That there is no measuring the value of a life

And whatever is immeasurable cannot be replaced

How do you reckon excess?

How do you calculate loss?

How do you reckon violence?

How do you reckon burdens?
