Bagyo, Bagyo

And because you hit me through ...

Bagyo Bagyo by Ang Grupong Pendong

cover by Darryl Shy

bagyo bagyo anurin mo ang dungis ng katilingban 
sa bayan tila nagmamaliw
bawiin ang uhaw ng mga tigang na damdamin
hugasan ang poot ng mga pusong nangingitim 

bagyo bagyo ikalat mo ang kwento ng pagibig
ang tula na di na madinig
isipol ang awit kasabay ng iyong pagdilig
sa lupang kay tagal na naghihintay sa pagsapit ng tag ulan

bagyo bagyo sabihin mo
kailan nga ba darating
and pagsikat ng araw ng simula
sariwang hangin na mapayapa

bagyo bagyo wasakin mo pagkakahati hati 
ng mga tao sa bayan ko
ibuhos ang galit at baka sakaling mayanig
ang kawalang damdamin na mayroong narinig

[English translation

storm, storm, wash away with your stream, the dirt 

that has kept the country in mourning

quench the thirst of those with hardened feelings

wash the hatred off the blackened hearts

storm, storm, spread the story of love

the poem that can no longer be heard

whistle the song as you shower

the land that has waited so long for the rain

storm, storm, tell me

when will it arrive, 

the rise of a new beginning

fresh air that brings serenity

storm, storm, tear down the divisions

of the people of my country

pour the anger and maybe it will awaken

those who have ignored other's cry for help]
