Kahit Konting Awa [English translation]

Why did my life

End up like this?

A crime I didn't do

Why was it even me?

It corresponds to death

A sin, I didn't (do)

Why is justice like this?

...

Like me, there's so many

of us in other countries

Being oppressed, hurt

Always with tears

Perhaps we're really not

the blessed ones

of our Creator...

Here on the face of the Earth

Who's fortunate?

Who's pitiful?

Is it us whose life was almost

dedicated to the country?

New heroes...

With tears as a weapon

Why don't you give us

Even a little mercy

Is there still something waiting

For people like me?

Is there still hope

To be happy in this world?

I hope it won't repeat

Someone like me

I redeemed the sin of another

Who's fortunate?

Who's pitiful?

Is it us whose life was almost

dedicated to the country?

New heroes...

With tears as a weapon

Why don't you give us

Even a little mercy

New heroes...

With tears as a weapon

Why don't you give us

Even a little mercy

Who's fortunate?

Who's pitiful?

Is it us whose life was almost

dedicated to the country?

New heroes...

With tears as a weapon

Why don't you give us

Even a... little mercy
