Pagbabago [English translation]

The promises are tiring

Waiting is also so tiring

The promises that are always crucified

With trust, we kill

Hoping is tiring too

Especially when my stomach is empty

Justice is wild in those struggling

Especially when the country only holds so many

We had People Power 1, we had People Power 2

And our lives still haven't changed

We had People Power 1, we had People Power 2

But we still haven't learned

All day and all night at the factory

Carabaos scraping along on the field

We are rained on and shined on in the streets

To take cover is our only desire

We have faced all the hardships

We have carried all the burdens

But the fruit of all our efforts

Have been monopolized by the greedy

We are the ones who planted, milled and steamed the rice

But when it was cooked, it was others who ate it

We are the ones who planted, milled and steamed the rice

But when it was cooked, it was others who ate it

We are the ones used to block tanks

We are used as ammunition for the cannons

While the vultures await

Waiting for the right time

We are the ones who planted, milled and steamed the rice

But when it was cooked, it was others who ate it

We are the ones who planted, milled and steamed the rice

But when it was cooked, it was others who ate it

We are the ones used to block tanks

We are used as ammunition for the cannons

While the vultures await

The leaders of the nation guarding and fighting

Even if we go to EDSA 3, even if we go to EDSA 4

Our lives still will not change

Even if we have People Power, we lose

Until we learn*

(Hey, wake up [you people]!)
