Answer 2

Ang Bayan Kong Sinilangan (Timog Cotabato)

(Asin)

[My Homeland (literally, "The Land Where I Was Born") (South Cotabato)

(Asin)]

Ako'y isinilang sa isang bayan ng Cotabato

Kasing gulo ng tao, kasing gulo ng mundo

[I was born in a town in Cotabato

As troubled as humanity, as chaotic as the world]

Dahil di magkasundo sa relihiyon at prinsipyo, nagkagulo.

Ang bayan ko sa Cotabato, kasing gulo ng isip ko

[Because of disagreements in religion and principles, there was trouble.

My hometown in Cotabato is as troubled as my mind]

Di alam kung saan nanggaling, di alam kung saan patungo

Kapatid sa kapatid, laman sa laman

[It doesn't know where it came from, it doesn't know where it's going

Brother to brother, flesh to flesh,]

Sila-sila ang naglalaban, di ko alam ang dahilan ng gulo.

Bakit nagkaganon, ang sagot sa tanong ko

[They are fighting among themselves, I don't know the reason for the conflict.

Why is it so, answer my question]

Bakit kayo nagkagulo, bakit kayo nag-away

Prinsipyo mo'y igagalang ko kung ako'y iyong nirespeto

[Why did you get in trouble, why are you fighting one another

I will respect your principles if you will respect mine]

Kung nagtulungan kayo, di sana magulo ang bayan ko.

Sa bayan kong sinilangan, sa timog Cotabato

[If you just helped one another, there wouldn't be trouble in my hometown.

In the land where I was born, in South Cotabato]

Ako ay namulat sa napakalaking gulo

Dahil walang respeto sa prinsipyo ng kapwa tao

[I was born into a very great conflict

Because of lack of respect for the principles of their fellow man]

Kapwa Pilipino ay pinapahirapan mo, ang gulo.

Ako'y nananawagan, humihingi ng tulong n'yo

[You make trouble for your fellow Filipino, oh, what trouble.

I am calling out to you, asking for your help]

Kapayapaa'y bigyan ng daan, kapayapaan sa bayan ko

Bakit kailangan pang maglaban, magkapatid kayo sa dugo

[Make way for peace, peace in my homeland

Why do you need to fight, when you are brothers in blood]

Kailan kayo magkakasundo, kapayapaa'y kailan matatamo ng bayan ko?

Kung ako'y may maitutulong, tutulong nang buong puso

[When will you agree with each other, when will my land achieve peace?

If I can help, I will help with all my heart]

Gitara ko'y aking inaalay, kung magkagulo'y gamitin mo

Kung ang kalaba'y walang puso, puso na rin ang gamitin mo

[I offer my guitar, use it when there is conflict

If the enemy doesn't have a heart, use your heart still]

Ituring mong isang kaibigan

Isipin mong siya'y may puso rin katulad mo.

[Treat him as a friend

Think that he also has a heart, like you.]

Coda:

[Coda:]

Sa bayan kong sinilangan (bakit may gulo...)

Sa timog Cotabato (sa timog Cotabato)



[In the land where I was born (why is there trouble...)

In South Cotabato (in South Cotabato)]

Ako ay namulat (kailan matatapos...)

Sa napakalaking gulo (ang gulo)

[I was born (when will it end...)

Into a very great conflict (such trouble)]

Dahil walang respeto (kailan magkakasundo...)

Sa prinsipyo ng kapwa tao (ang tao)

[Because of lack of respect (when will you agree...)

For the principles of your fellow man (the people)]

Kapwa Pilipino (kapwa Pilipino...)

Ay kinakalaban mo (bakit kinalaban mo)

Ang gulo...



[Fellow Filipinos (Fellow Filipinos...)

Are the ones you are fighting (why do you oppose them)

Such trouble...]

Hope it helps..  :)
