"Pinoy Ako" is the theme song of "Pinoy Big Brother." But this post is about the song and not the show. Download the song at pinoy.rickey.org. I modified the lyrics I found at Lyrics! and provided a rough translation of the lyrics below for the benefit of those who can't understand Tagalog.
Some have suggested that the song was copied from another song. I don't mind. If you think about it, adapting (note: some will probably call it stealing) foreign originals is actually very Filipino. Pinoy ako!
Pinoy Ako
(Orange And Lemons)
| Lahat tayo'y mayro'ng pagkakaiba Sa tingin pa lang ay makikita na Iba’t ibang kagustuhan Ngunit isang patutunguhan Gabay at pagmamahal ang hanap mo Magbibigay ng halaga sa iyo Nais mong ipakilala Kung sino ka man talaga Chorus:'Pakita mo ang tunay at kung sino ka Mayro’n mang masama at maganda Wala namang perpekto Basta magpakatotoo Gabay at pagmamahal ang hanap mo Magbibigay ng halaga sa iyo Nais mong ipakilala Kung sino ka man talaga [chorus] Talagang ganyan ang buhay Dapat ka nang masanay Wala ring mangyayari Kung laging nakikibagay Ipakilala ang 'yong sarili Ano man sa 'yo'y mangyayari Ang lagi mong iisipin Kayang kayang gawin [chorus] | All of us are different One look and it's obvious We like different things But share similar objectives You're looking for guidance and love For what will give meaning to you You want to let people know Who you really are Chorus:Show the truth and who you are Both the good and the bad No one's perfect Just be true to yourself You're looking for guidance and love For what will give meaning to you You want to let people know Who you really are [chorus] That's what life is like Get used to it Nothing will happen If you always try to please Introduce yourself Whatever will happen to you Always keep in mind That you can do it [chorus] |
