Tinapay Lyrics English Translation - Kahel
Nakatulala Sa Silid, Sumisikip Ang Dibdib
Staring blankly in the room, my chest tightens.
Sumisigaw Ngunit Walang Tinig Na Nakikinig
Screaming, but no voice hears me.
Matang Nakatanim, Patungo Sa Akin, Hindi Makailing
Eyes fixed on me, unable to turn away.
Bigat Ay ‘Di Maamin
The weight I cannot confess.
Susuko Na Sana, Hiling Ko Ay Pag-Asa
I was about to give up, my wish is for hope.
Ginhawa’y Matatamasa Na Ako Lang Ang Baraha
Relief will come, I alone hold the cards.
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa ’Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Magdamag Nang Gising, Dinaig Ko Pa Ang Lasing
Awake all night, outdoing even the drunk.
Ganito Ba Ang Ginagawa Upang Maging Magiting?
Is this what it takes to be valiant?
Pahinga’y Limot Na Din
Rest is forgotten too.
Sa Dami Ng Pasanin
With the weight of burdens.
Hirap Na ’Kong Gawin
I’m struggling to carry on.
Ginhawa Ay Dalangin
Relief is my prayer.
Susuko Na Sana, Hiling Ko Ay Pag-Asa
I was about to give up, my wish is for hope.
Ginhawa’y Matatamasa Na Ako Lang Ang Baraha
Relief will come, I alone hold the cards.
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa ’Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na ’Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa ’Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na ’Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Kahit Na Mahirap, Pinilit Kong Dumilat
Though it’s tough, I forced my eyes open.
Ako’y Magsusumikap
I will strive hard.
Para Sa Pangarap, Umahon Ka Sa Hirap
For the dream, rise above the hardship.
Patungong Alapaap
Heading toward the clouds.
Ngunit Bakit..
But why..
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa ’Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na ’Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Ang Mga Titig Nila, Tila Ba’y Sa ’Kin Umaasa
Their gazes seem to depend on me.
Wala Na ’Kong Magagawa, Kaya Sige, Ako Na Lang Ang Bahala
I have no choice, so fine, I’ll take charge.
Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang…
Just me, just me, just me, just me, just me…
Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang
Just me, just me, just me, just me, just me.
Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang, Ako Na Lang
Just me, just me, just me, just me, just me.
