Kumilos Lyrics English Translation by Dwta
dwta describes a fight for fairness through physical metaphors. The poet writes, ‘We are crawling our way up,’ showing persistent effort. Wings represent lost justice in the struggle.
Tayo’y gumagapang pataasWe are crawling our way up,
Lumalaban ng patasfighting a fair fight.
Ngunit ‘pag pang-aabuso’y lumagpasBut if the abuse crosses the line,
Mapipilitang mag-aklaswe’ll be forced to stage a revolt.
Mga kurakotCorrupt officials…
Ikulong na ang mga kurakotthrow the corrupt ones in jail!
Nawalan na ng silbi angThe wings that were once free
Dating malayang pakpakhave lost their purpose now.
Na naging daan upangThey used to be the way
Humusga ng tapat at nararapatto judge with truth and rightness.
Ngunit nang biglang tinapak angBut when the countless plans
Sandamakmak na balak aywere suddenly trampled on,
Bigla ring kumalat ang pahamakruin also spread just as fast
Sa ating bayan na hirapthroughout our struggling land.
Hahayaan nalang ba angWill we simply allow
Hapdi ng pang-aapi sa nakararamithe sting of oppression against the masses?
Hahayaan nalang ba angWill we simply allow
Panlilinlang sa karapatanthe betrayal of the rights
Ng ating sambayananof our own people?
Tayo’y gumagapang pataasWe are crawling our way up,
Lumalaban ng patasfighting a fair fight.
Ngunit ‘pag pang-aabuso’y lumagpasBut if the abuse crosses the line,
Mapipilitang mag-aklaswe’ll be forced to stage a revolt.
Huwag na nating hintayin ang takip silimLet’s not wait for the twilight to fall,
Mga hakbang natin ayand let’s not hold back
Huwag na ring tipirinon the steps we need to take.
Mga dating nasa ilalim ayThose who were once at the bottom
Aangat na rinare finally rising up.
Masisikatan din ng araw angThe sun will eventually shine on
Tunay na ganap sa likod ng dilimwhat truly lies behind the dark.
Hahayaan nalang ba angWill we simply allow
Hapdi ng pang-aapi sa nakararamithe sting of oppression against the masses?
Hahayaan nalang ba angWill we simply allow
Panlilinlang sa karapatanthe betrayal of the rights
Ng ating sambayananof our own people?
Tayo’y gumagapang pataasWe are crawling our way up,
Lumalaban ng patasfighting a fair fight.
Ngunit ‘pag pang-aabuso’y lumagpasBut if the abuse crosses the line,
Mapipilitang mag-aklaswe’ll be forced to stage a revolt.
