original lyrics
english translation
Isapuso,
Isapuso ang pagka-mandirigma
Isapuso, isapuso
Alamat, handa, 'rap!
Mo: Ilabas ang mga kalasag (Alas: Ha?)
'Wag kakarag-karag
Humandang pumalag (Bakit?)
'Di mo ba nakikita yung mga nasa laot
Alas: Mga balangay na dala-dala'y mga salot
(Mo: Pero teka)
Mga katawa'y nakatapal ng bakal (oh)
Wala tayong laban kung kawal sa kawal
Mo: Pero 'pag sama-sama nating palibutan
Mo/Alas: Ewan ko na lang
Kung hindi sila kilabutan
Taneo: Patalasin mga pana't balaraw
Tomas: Sumigaw hanggang lupa ay gumalaw
(Gami: Aah!)
Taneo: 'Tong mga mapupusyaw, mag-iinaso
Tomas/Taneo: Kapag kanilang baluti'y balutin ng palaso
R-Ji: Pulutong, humanay
Pasulong, 'kad
Maghintay ka lang ang mga gimbal ay
Jao: Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong (ooh) Papau-papau-papaugong (ooh) Nagsusumigaw kahit na pabulong
R-Ji: Dahil pusong mandirigma
'Di papakutya, 'di papapugong
Tomas: Pusong mandirigma
'Di papadikta at
Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong
Alas: Sila yung napugutan
Sila yung naghalo ang balat sa tinalupan
Mo: Kami yung panalo
Pero bakit parang kulang
Para bang sila yung
Naghintay at namuhunan
Teka sandali
Alas: Mga gawi ko yung nabura
Ako nang magpapalakad
Alas: Ako yung nakatira
Mo (Spanish): "Buenom,
Esto es para ti tambien po
Paga tus aportes al ayuntamiento"
R-Ji: Teka nga, sino kang nagpapa-papel
Jao: Mga pangalan namin tinala sa papel
R-Ji: Ayaw kong makibahagi,
'Wag ka nang pumapel
R-Ji/Jao: Punitin ang sedulang gawa sa papel
Tomas: Pulutong, humanay
Pasulong, 'kad
Maghintay ka lang ang mga gimbal ay
Taneo: Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong (ooh) Papau-papau-papaugong (ooh) Nagsusumigaw kahit na pabulong
Tomas: Dahil pusong mandirigma
'Di papakutya, 'di papapugong
Jao: Pusong mandirigma
'Di papadikta at
Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong
Taneo: Daming nasawi
Mo: Daming mga buhay nawala sa paggapi
Taneo: Mga bayaning 'di mailibing mga labi
Mo: Pero may dalawang nobelang
Nakapukaw ng mithi
Tomas: Pagdating ng
Jao: Bukang liwayway sa wakas ay
Tomas: Naiwawagayway na rin natin ang
Jao: Tatlong bituin at isang araw
Tomas: Sa wakas at tayo ri'y nakaisa nga raw
Alas: Pero 'di natin namamalayan
Meron na palang ugnayang
Magpalit kamay ang mananakop
Taneo: Ngayon 'di mo ba nakikita
Yung mga nasa laot
Bagong bapor dala-dala'y mga salot
Mo: Pulutong, humanay
Pasulong, 'kad
Maghintay ka lang ang mga gimbal ay
R-Ji: Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong (ooh)
Papau-papau-papaugong (ooh) Nagsusumigaw kahit na pabulong
Mo: Dahil pusong mandirigma
'Di papakutya, 'di papapugong
Taneo: Pusong mandirigma
'Di papadikta at
Dadagun-dadagun-dadagundong
Take to heart,
Take to heart the essence of a warrior
Take to heart, take to heart
Alamat, about-face!
Mo: Bring out your shields (Alas: What?)
Stop being shaky
Prepare to resist (Why?)
Notice those things on the sea?
Alas: Ships that carry pestilence
(Mo: But wait)
Their bodies are covered in metal (Oh)
We have no match if soldier-to-soldier
Mo: But if we surround them together
Mo/Alas: For sure
They'd feel the terror
Taneo: Sharpen your arrows and knives
Tomas: Shout until the earth shakes
(Gami: Aah!)
Taneo: The conquerors will act like fools
Tomas/Taneo: Once their armors are covered in arrows
R-Ji: Platoon, fall in line
Forward, march
Just you wait, the war drums will
Jao: Rum- rum- rumble (Ooh)
Reso- reso- resonate (Ooh)
Screaming even though hushed
R-Ji: With the heart of a warrior
Won't be ridiculed, won't be suppressed
Tomas: Heart of a warrior,
Won't be tyrannized and
Will rum- rum- rumble
Alas: They got decapitated,
They caused mayhem
Mo: We triumphed
But why does it feel off?
Seems they're the ones
Who reaped what was sowed
Wait a minute
Alas: My customs were erased
Mo: Let me govern
Alas: For I am the native
Mo (Spanish): "Well,
This is for your sake
Pay your taxes to the City Council"
R-Ji: Wait, who do you think you are?
Jao: You catalogued our names on paper
R-Ji: I refuse to take part,
Stop acting important
R-Ji/Jao: Let's tear up our tax certificates
Tomas: Platoon, fall in line
Forward, march
Just you wait, the war drums will
Taneo: Rum- rum- rumble (Ooh)
Reso- reso- resonate (Ooh)
Screaming even though hushed
Tomas: With the heart of a warrior
Won't be ridiculed, won't be suppressed
Jao: Heart of a warrior,
Won't be tyrannized and
Will rum- rum- rumble
Taneo: Many have perished
Mo: Many lives lost to defeat
Taneo: Corpses of heroes remain unburied
Mo: But two novels
Evoked ideals
Tomas: When the
Jao: dawn broke, finally
Tomas: We got to wave
Jao: Three stars and a sun
Tomas: At last, we were unified, they say
Alas: But we failed to notice
That conquerors were planning
On exchanging hands
Taneo: Don't you see
Them on the sea?
New ships that carry pestilence
Mo: Platoon, fall in line
Forward, march
Just you wait, the war drums will
R-Ji: Rum- rum- rumble (Ooh)
Reso- reso- resonate (Ooh)
Screaming even though hushed
Mo: With the heart of a warrior
Won't be ridiculed, won't be suppressed
Taneo: Heart of a warrior,
Won't be tyrannized and
Will rum- rum- rumble
