Hawak - KOLATERAL, Tao

Hawak ang iyong kamay sa pag lapag

Sa mundong hindi tanggap ang ating pagsasama

Maraming salita.

Sa harap, sa kanan, at kaliwa

Ngunit hindi matitinag

(Pagka't mga puso natin handa)

Sigaw nilang lahat (mga bata pa kayo)

Dami niyong kailangan malaman

Musmos palang kami (ganito na ang buhay)

Ito na ang katotohanan

Pinili mong kumayod, upang suportahan

Ang aking pag-aaral, ang ating hinaharap

Hindi tayo takot (kahit na mahirap ang)

Mundo ay iikot

Walang alinlangan (Basta ba kasama ka)

Kahit na gutom (Basta ba kasama ka, Basta ba kasama ka)

Hawak ang iyong kamay, pauwi

Mula sa araw na ka’y haba

Kahit na mahirap ang buhay basta’t makasama ka

Sa dilim, may nag mamasid

Dinig ang baril na kinakasa

Sa pag putok ay ninakaw ka nila

At pagpikit ng iyong mata…

Hindi kita maiwang (dumudugo)

Hindi kita maiwan

Hawak ang iyong bangkay sa pagpatak ng mga luha

Di ko parin tanggap na wala ka na

Anong magagawa?

Giliw ako’y takot (pagkat mahirap ang)

Mundo ay iikot nang wala ka na (Bakit ba kinuha ka?)

Ang dami kong tanong

(Bakit ba kinuha ka?)

Bakit ba ka kinuha ka sa akin?

Hawak ang mumunting kinita mula sa araw na ka’y haba

Tila nalulunod sa hirap, may pagasa pa kaya?

Sa dilim may nag mamasid at dinig ang baril na kinakasa

Sa pag putok, ang sakit ay dama

Sa pagpikit ng aking

Mata…

Ang buhay ba namin barya para sa katulad nila

Walang laman-tiyan pero katawan nami’y punong-puno ng tingga

Karahasan ba ang sagot?

Karapatan ba ay limot?

Anong dahilan?

Anong dahilan ba nito?

Sa huli, magkatabi silang ililibing

Wagas na pagiibigan kinitil

Sa pagsara ng kabaong nila…

Ang hustiya ba’y bulag (dumudugo)

At nalulunod sa dugo?

Holding your hand as we make our way

In this world that doesn’t accept our love

So many words.

To our faces, on our right, to the left

But it never fazed us

(Because our hearts were ready)

They all screamed (you're too young)

There’s so much you still need to learn

We were just children (life has always been like this)

This was already our reality

You chose to work so you could support

My education, our future together

We weren’t afraid (even if it was hard)

The world will continue to turn

No fear or doubt (as long as we’re together)

Even if we’re hungry (as long as we’re together, as long as we’re together)

Holding your hand, on the way home

From such a long, hard day

Even if life is hard, as long as we’re together

In the dark, there are eyes watching

The sound of a gun being cocked

With a shot, they stole you from me

And with that, your eyes closed…

I could not leave you (bleeding)

I could not leave you

Holding your corpse as my tears fell

I could not accept that you were gone

What could I do?

My love, I am afraid (for it’s so hard)

To think that the world will turn without you (Why did they take you?)

I have so many questions (Why did they take you?)

Why did they take you away from me?

I hold what little we earned from a day so long

Drowning in poverty, is there still hope?

In the dark there are eyes watching and the sound of a gun being cocked

With a shot, I felt the pain

And with that, my eyes close…

Are our lives nothing but loose change for their kind

Nothing in our bellies but our bodies are full of lead

Is violence the answer?

Are all rights forgotten?

What is the reason?

Why are they doing this?

At the end, they will be buried side-by-side

True love cut short

With the slamming of their coffins

Is justice blind (bleeding)?

And drowning in blood?

Hold your hand on the floor

In the world our union is not accepted

Many words.

In front, on the right, and on the left

But unmoved

(Because our hearts are ready)

They all screamed (you kids)

You need to know a lot

We're just babies (this is life)

This is the truth

You choose to scrub, to support

My education, our future

We are not afraid (even when it is difficult)

World will spin

Without a doubt (As long as you're with me)

Even if I'm hungry (As long as I'm with you, As long as I'm with you)

Hold your hand, go home

From the day you were long

Even if life is hard as long as you are with me

In the darkness, someone is watching

Heard the gun being fired

In the shot they stole you

And closing your eyes…

I can't leave you (bleeding)

I can't leave you

Holding your dead body in tears

I still can't accept that you are gone

What can be done?

I'm afraid (because it's difficult)

The world will turn without you (Why did you take it?)

I have so many questions

(Why did you get hired?)

Why did you take me?

Holding the little earnings from the day you were long

It seems to be drowning in hardship, is there still hope?

In the darkness someone watched and heard the gun being fired

In the shot, the pain is felt

With the closing of my eyes

eyes…

Is our life a coin for someone like them?

Our stomachs are empty but our bodies are full of lead

Is violence the answer?

Is it a right to forget?

What reason?

What is the reason for this?

In the end, they will be buried side by side

Pure love taken

With the closing of their casket…

Is the judge blind (bleeding)

And drowning in blood?

Holding your hand as we make our way

In this world that doesn't accept our love

So many words.

To our faces, on our right, to the left

But it never fazed us

(Because our hearts were ready)

They all screamed (you're too young)

There's so much you still need to learn

We were just children (life has always been like this)

This was already our reality

You chose to work so you could support

My education, our future together

We weren't afraid (even if it was hard)

The world will continue to turn

No fear or doubt (as long as we're together)

Even if we're hungry (as long as we're together, as long as we're together)

Holding your hand, on the way home

From such a long, hard day

Even if life is hard, as long as we're together

In the dark, there are eyes watching

The sound of a gun being cocked

With a shot, they stole you from me

And with that, your eyes closed...

I couldn't leave you (bleeding)

I could not leave you

Holding your corpse as my tears fell

I could not accept that you were gone

What could I do?

My love, I am afraid (for it's so hard)

To think that the world will turn without you (Why did they take you?)

I have so many questions (Why did they take you?)

Why did they take you away from me?

I hold what little we earned from a day so long

Drowning in poverty, is there still hope?

In the dark there are eyes watching and the sound of a gun being cocked
