lirik lagu distansya feat. muro ami, 霏 – kolateral

[facebook messenger call ringing]

[muro ami – verse 1]
anak, naknakan ng pait
magtiis sa amo kong na malupit
mapanggiit na para sa lang sa ‘yo
mabayaran para sa ating hiwalayan
kalingain, alagaan ang pamilyang ‘di pamilya ko

kahit maghalo p’ang balat sa tinalupan
basta’t may patutunguhan ang katas ng pawis at dugo
sana ‘wag mo sinasayang, sana’y wag mong hahayaang
lumaking katulad ko ang ‘sang katulad mo

‘di malimot ang mga luha mo
gapos ng iyong munting braso sa aking binti
pinipigil ang hikbi, hinihilang wag na lumayo

‘di mabubura sa bangungot ko
ang tanong sa’yong mata “sino nang mat-tira?
may nagawa bang masama? ba’t kailangan ma-abandona?

oo iniwan ka iyong ama
pero kailanman hindi ng iyong ina
pangako ito’y pansamantala, uwi ako agad
nanangis ka’t nakiusap, wag kang sumalangit
dito ka lang sa lupa para ‘to sayo kaya paalam na

[霏 – hook]
para sa pangarap na ginhawa
tiniis ko itong distansya
upang sa gabi makatulog kayo (mahimbing)
mainit na pagkain sa lamesa
sakripisiyong tiniis na hindi kayo kasama

k-musta na kayo?
k-musta na kayo? (para sa ginhawa)
k-musta na kayo?
k-musta na kayo?

[muro ami – verse 2]
anong pinagkaiba ng mapagsamantalahan
dito at diyan? dito may sweldo
gusto ko nang umuwi pero ‘di mabuti
balita sa amin, kelan darating pagbabago?

kamusta na anak? kamusta pag-aaral?
kamusta si bunso? bakit tila tumutumal?
tila tumatamlay tawagan nati’t pag-uusap
wag magtampo please, parang-awa, pakiusap

anong bago anak? naku mag – ingat ka diyan
balita ko sa atin may tinira na naman
anak… andiyan ka pa ba?
wag mo please sabihing nawala ka na

humalik sa sahig para pakawalan
ng amo, lumipad libing mong dinatnan
‘di to pagbabago nais kong uwian
pano naging tulak ang may kapansanan

yayakapin kita kahit na duguan ka pa
tulad nang ikay bagong silang ko pa lang
hugas kamay silang nagsasabi
na binoto ko to wala nang bawian

[霏 – hook]
para sa pangarap na ginhawa
tiniis ko itong distansya
upang sa gabi makatulog kayo (mahimbing)
mainit na pagkain sa lamesa
sakripisiyong tiniis na hindi kayo kasama

k-musta na kayo?
k-musta na kayo? (para sa ginhawa)
k-musta na kayo?
k-musta na kayo?

[muro ami & 霏 – outro]
k-musta na? ayos pa ba? (para sa ginhawa)
ang buhay natin, buhay pa ba?
buhay pa ba? k-musta na? (para sa ginhawa)

(para sa ginhawa)

[muro ami – verse 1]
my child, it’s a bitter pill to swallow
being with a boss so cruel
stingy with money, all for you
the wages of our separation
to nurture and care for a family that’s not my own

enduring anything no matter what
as long as my sweat and blood achieves something
hopefully you don’t waste it, don’t let yourself
grow up and become someone like me

i won’t forget your tears
your little arms clutching at my legs
stifling your sobs, pulling at me so i wouldn’t leave

i can’t erase from my nightmares
the question in your eyes, saying, ‘who will be left?
did i do anything wrong? why do i need to be abandoned?

yes, you were abandoned by your father
but never by your mother
i promise this is temporary, i’ll come home soon
you begged and pleaded for me to not take to the heavens
please, stay here on earth — but i do this for you so it’s farewell for now

[霏 – hook]
for the comfort we dreamed of
i endured the distance
so you could sleep soundly at night (comfort)
hot food on the table
i endured the sacrifice of us not being together

how are you all doing?
how are you all doing? (for comfort.)
how are you all doing?
how are you all doing?

[muro ami – verse 2]
what’s the difference between exploitation here
and exploitation back home? here, we get paid
i long to return but news from home
isn’t great, where is the promised change?

how are you doing, my child? how is school? how are your siblings?
why are our phone calls and conversations dwindling?
please don’t be angry at me, please, i beg you

what’s going on, my child? oh no please take care there
i hear people are being k!lled back home
my child…are you still there?
please don’t tell me you’ve gone

i kissed the floor so my boss would let me go
flew home only to arrive at your wake
this is not the change i wanted to come home to
how could they accuse a disabled child of selling drugs?

i will cradle your bl–dy body
like i did when i birthed you
they wash their hands, saying
that i voted for this regime, there’s no taking it back

[霏 – hook]
for the comfort we dreamed of
i endured the distance
so you could sleep soundly at night (comfort)
hot food on the table
i endured the sacrifice of not being together

how are you all doing?
how are you all doing? (for comfort.)
how are you all doing?
how are you all doing?

[muro ami & 霏 – outro]
how are you all doing? everything okay? (for comfort)
this life, are we still alive?
still alive? everything okay? (for comfort)

(for comfort)
