Karaniwang Tao
Aako po'y karaniwang tao lamang
Kayod-kabayo, 'yan ang alam
Karaniwang hanap-buhay
Karaniwan ang problema
Pagkain, damit at tirahan
'Di ko kabisado 'yang siyensiya
Ako'y nalilito sa maraming salita
Alam ko lang na itong planeta'y
Walang kapalit at dapat ingatan
Kapag nasira, sino ang kawawa
CHORUS
Karaniwang tao, saan ka tatakbo
Kapag nawasak iisang mundo
Karaniwang tao, anong magagawa
Upang bantayan ang kalikasan
Karaniwang bagay ay 'di pansin
Kapag naipon ay nagiging suliranin
Kaunting basura ngayo'y bundok
Kotseng sira ay umuusok
Sabong panlaba'y pumapatay sa ilog
May lason na galing sa industriya
Ibinubuga ng mga pabrika
Ngunit 'di lamang higante
Ang nagkakalat ng dumi
May kinalaman din ang tulad natin
[Repeat CHORUS twice]
Karaniwang tao [4x]
[Repeat CHORUS]
Karaniwang tao
[Repeat till fade]
Common Person
I am just a common person
Working hard, that's what I know
Common livelihood
Problems are common
Food, clothing, and shelter
I don't understand that science
I get confused with many words
All I know is that this planet
Is irreplaceable and should be taken care of
If it gets destroyed, who will suffer
CHORUS
Common person, where will you go
When one world is destroyed
Common person, what can be done
To protect nature
Common things are unnoticed
When accumulated, they become problems
A little trash now becomes a mountain
Broken cars emit smoke
Laundry soap kills the river
There's poison from the industry
Emitted by factories
But not only giants
Spread dirt
We also have a part in it
[Repeat CHORUS twice]
Common person
[Repeat CHORUS]
Common person
[Repeat till fade]
