ALAMAT feat. Lyca Gairanod “ILY ILY” Lyrics + English Translation

[Intro: All]

Ili-ili tulog anay
Little one, little one, sleep now

Wala diri imong nanay
Your mother is not here

Kadto tienda bakal papay
She left to buy some bread

Ili-ili tulog anay
Little one, little one, sleep now

(Alamat, handa ‘rap!)
ALAMAT, about-face!

[Verse 1: Mo, Alas]

Ano ba? Ganyan ka na lang palagi
What? You’re always like this

Lagi kang sinusunod para tumahan ka na
Following you so you’d stop crying

Hindi ka ba nag-iisip na may naghihirap do’n?
Don’t you realize people are working hard there?

Kailangan nating magtipid, sige isipin mo ‘yung
We need to save, go think about this

Kung puro luho ang gusto, parang ang dami ng kusing
All you want are luxuries, like you have so much money

Luha ng nagdaralita, tumbas ‘la pang singkong duling
A pauper’s tears, worth no more than a lousy cent

Kaya ipasok mo sa kaibuturan ng iyong sentido
So keep this deep into your mind

Kailanman ’di madali sa kaniya ang pagsakripisyo
Their sacrifice was never easy

Aking kapatid, ‘di mo ba nababatid?
My sibling, don’t you know?

Mga magulang natin ay piniling lumayo
Our parents chose to be away

Para mabigyang alalay mga paa nati’y sa kinabukasa’y tatayo
So they can support where our feet stand in the future

Tsaka sikmura mong ‘di na kukulo
And so our stomachs won’t grumble anymore

‘Wag ka nang magmumukmok para din naman sa atin ‘yan
Stop sulking, this is all for us

Kung ba’t tuwing selebrasyon, wala sila
Even when they’re not here for every celebration

Kaya pigilan mo ang ’yong pusong tampo ang itinitibok
So stop your heart’s angry beating

’Di lang naman tayo ang ganito
We’re not the only ones going through this

[Chorus: Alamat, Lyca Gairanod]

Gabi-gabi at umaga
Every night and every day

Pangungulila ang dama
Feeling desolate

Hihintayin ang araw na
Waiting for the day

Tayo’y magsasama-sama
We will all be together

Gabi-gabi at umaga
Every night and every day

Pangungulila ang dama
Feeling desolate

Hihintayin ang araw na
Waiting for the day

Tayo’y magsasama-sama
We will all be together

[Interlude: Tomas]

Hello, tabi, ‘Pa, ‘Ma?
Hello, Pa, Ma?

Nadadangog tabi nindo ako?
Can you hear me?

[Verse 2: Tomas, Lyca Gairanod, R-Ji]

Sakuyang pagkamusta sa kada maapod ka
Whenever I greet you, every time you call

Pirming pangadyi sana lamang makauli ka na
I always wish you could come home

Napupungaw pag nadangog an boses pag kahuron na
I miss you when I hear your voice

Salamat sa gabos na sakripisyo dawa ka nasa harayo
Thank you for all your sacrifices, even though you’re far away

Maayos ka ba d’yan, ’Nay? Kumusta ka naman, ‘Tay?
Are you okay there, Mom? How about you, Dad?

Nakakatulog pa ba nang mahimbing tuwing gabi?
Do you sleep well at night?

Kumakain sa oras? Nakukuhang ngumiti
Do you eat on time? Do you still smile

Sa kabila ng kapaguran at matinding kalungkutan, ‘Nay, Itay?
Despite the fatigue and sorrow, Mom, Dad?

[Interlude: R-Ji]

Sige, ‘Nay, ‘Tay
Alright, Mom, Dad

Magluluto la na ako para paniudto
I’ll cook for lunch now

[Verse 3: Alas]

Dong, day, antos rata’g gamay, gipanganak ta nga lisod
Boy, girl, be more patient — we were born poor

Ginikanan nato kung unsa unsa nalay buhaton para di ra ta magutman
Our parents took odd jobs just so we won’t go hungry

Kahunahuna ba mo o dili ragyud maka hunahuna
Do you think about that, or do you not think at all?

Ayaw rakog pakita nga kamo pa ang may gana magkulismaut
Don’t you dare frown in front of me

Kay miskan na magluha pamo’g dugo, wala na tay mabuhat
Even if you cry blood, there is nothing we can do

Kundi dawaton ang tanan na kini na ang kamatuuran
Everyone has to accept this, for this is the truth

[Chorus: Alamat, Lyca Gairanod]

Gabi-gabi at umaga (Gabi-gabi at umaga)
Every night and every day (Every night and every day)

Pangungulila ang dama (Pangungulila ang nadarama)
Feeling desolate (Feeling desolate)

Hihintayin ang araw na (Hihintayin ang araw na)
Waiting for the day (Waiting for the day)

Tayo’y magsasama-sama (Tayo’y magsama-sama)
We will all be together (We will all be together)

[Outro: All]
