Upuan [Seat] [English translation]

you who are sitting down

why don't you try standing up

you might see, and you might see

my true predicament

its like this...

Verse 1:

Excuse me, are you inside that

huge house and backyard

surrounded by tall walls

and expensive cars in a line

guards that keep whispering and whispering

nobody's getting married but a lot of people are in barongs (suits)

the roof wont be damaged even if the rain pours hard

plates and spoons that don't know what left-over rice is

and rice as white as a box of milk

and even if it's not christmas there is ham on the table

it probably feels great to live in a house like that

they also say that this is where you can find

the person who owns a seat

when there is an opportunity it is fought over

that's why that person never lets go of it

if i see him i will shout

Chorus

you who are sitting down

why don't you try standing up

you might see, and you might see

my true predicament

Verse 2

Excuse me

to the person who is sitting down

did you know our cup of rice is not full?

the walls of our house are made of cheap roof material

at night it is so hot you could melt ice

that we cant afford to buy for our drinks

boiled water in an old, dirty teapot

using driftwood from the creek

that serves as our kitchen, in the morning, it's our bathroom

my mother's treasure is a soup pan

which is used only when my dad gets his pay

but its still insufficient

dried herring and salt with rice

one dollar has to be fit for a day

i don't know if there are just a lot of barriers

or if the walls are too high

or if you're just pretending to be blind

even with all your money

no doctor can open your eyes

so...

don't be so obvious

stones in the sky

if you are hit don't be mad

stones in the sky

the one who is hit

don't be so obvious

don't be so obvious
