Silakbo Lyrics English Translation – Cup of Joe
Magpapalunod ba sa dilim
Will I drown in the darkness
O titingin sa mga bituin
Or will I look at the stars
Tutulugan ang gabi
Will I sleep through the night
O ito’y aangkinin
Or will I claim it as my own
Ipapabukas ko na lang ba ulit
Will I just put it off again for tomorrow
Siya na lang bang magdidikta
Will it always dictate
Ng aking pulso at paghinga
My pulse and my breath
‘Di alam ang gagawin
Unsure of what to do
Gulo ba’y haharapin
Will I face the chaos
Tatakbo o dapat bang tiisin
Run away or endure it instead
Dahan-dahang kumawala
Slowly breaking free
Sa kapit na dinadala
From the grip that holds me down
‘Di na magpapaakit pa
I won’t be captivated anymore
Sa kapit ng ‘yong mata
By the grasp of your gaze
Hayaang sumigaw ang pusong nabilanggo
Let the imprisoned heart cry out
Sumabay na sa awitin pakinggan ang tibok
Join the song, listen to its beat
‘Wag na tatalikuran ang bigat ng unos
Don’t turn your back on the weight of the storm
‘Pag nasugat ‘wag pigilan ang silakbo
When wounded, don’t suppress the outburst
Naaarawan na ang sakit
The pain is now basking in sunlight
Umagang tila nanlalambing
The morning feels tender and kind
Ako’y babangon na muli
I will rise again
Nang hindi nakapikit
With eyes wide open
Tumatamis na ang lahat ng pait
Every bitterness is turning sweet
Dahan-dahang kumawala
Slowly breaking free
Sa kapit na dinadala
From the grip that holds me down
‘Di na magpapaakit pa
I won’t be captivated anymore
Sa kapit ng iyong mata
By the grasp of your gaze
Hayaang sumigaw ang pusong nabilanggo
Let the imprisoned heart cry out
Sumabay na sa awitin pakinggan ang tibok
Join the song, listen to its beat
‘Wag na tatalikuran ang bigat ng unos
Don’t turn your back on the weight of the storm
‘Pag nasugat ‘wag pigilan ang silakbo
When wounded, don’t suppress the outburst
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
‘Wag na tatalikuran ang bigat ng unos
Don’t turn your back on the weight of the storm
‘Pag nasugat ‘wag pigilan ang silakbo
When wounded, don’t suppress the outburst
Mga silid sa bahay ng ating damdamin
The rooms in the house of our emotions
‘Di na muling papatinag sa dilim
Will no longer falter in the dark
Lalakasan ang himig ng mga salamin
The echoes of mirrors will grow louder
Palayain mga sigaw sa dingding
Free the cries from the walls
Hayaang sumigaw ang pusong nabilanggo
Let the imprisoned heart cry out
Sumabay na sa awitin pakinggan ang tibok
Join the song, listen to its beat
‘Wag na tatalikuran ang bigat ng unos
Don’t turn your back on the weight of the storm
‘Pag nasugat ‘wag pigilan ang silakbo
When wounded, don’t suppress the outburst
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
‘Wag na tatalikuran ang bigat ng unos
Don’t turn your back on the weight of the storm
‘Pag nasugat ‘wag pigilan ang silakbo
When wounded, don’t suppress the outburst
