Karaniwang Tao

Common Person

Karaniwang Tao

I am just a common personAako po'y karaniwang tao lamang
Working hard, that's what I knowKayod-kabayo, 'yan ang alam
Common livelihoodKaraniwang hanap-buhay
Problems are commonKaraniwan ang problema
Food, clothing, and shelterPagkain, damit at tirahan

I don't understand that science'Di ko kabisado 'yang siyensiya
I get confused with many wordsAko'y nalilito sa maraming salita
All I know is that this planetAlam ko lang na itong planeta'y
Is irreplaceable and should be taken care ofWalang kapalit at dapat ingatan
If it gets destroyed, who will sufferKapag nasira, sino ang kawawa

CHORUSCHORUS
Common person, where will you goKaraniwang tao, saan ka tatakbo
When one world is destroyedKapag nawasak iisang mundo
Common person, what can be doneKaraniwang tao, anong magagawa
To protect natureUpang bantayan ang kalikasan

Common things are unnoticedKaraniwang bagay ay 'di pansin
When accumulated, they become problemsKapag naipon ay nagiging suliranin
A little trash now becomes a mountainKaunting basura ngayo'y bundok
Broken cars emit smokeKotseng sira ay umuusok
Laundry soap kills the riverSabong panlaba'y pumapatay sa ilog

There's poison from the industryMay lason na galing sa industriya
Emitted by factoriesIbinubuga ng mga pabrika
But not only giantsNgunit 'di lamang higante
Spread dirtAng nagkakalat ng dumi
We also have a part in itMay kinalaman din ang tulad natin
