Gloc-9 - Walang Natira ft. Sheng Belmonte (English Translation) Lyrics[Chorus: Sheng Belmonte]
A lot of teachers here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
A lot of nurses here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
[Post-Chorus: Sheng Belmonte, Gloc-9]
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
[Verse 1: Gloc-9]
Land of my birth, its name is Philippines
But why does it seem like it is full of picked fruits?
The law gets ahead like moldy rice
The rain intensifies, yet the umbrella is punctured
Running slippery, the leaders are ignorant
They solely benefit, while we are left lifeless
Our countrymen that fly, leave
To go to another nation and there wear out
Their hands just to end up calloused
Their rest saved for their return home
Because here at ours it's hard to get [?]
To stain with chocolate the sweet smile
Of a child who barely knows their father
Or their mother who is absent during birthdays
Will the day come that this will change?
If you're not sure, it's time to think
[Chorus: Sheng Belmonte]
A lot of engineers here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
A lot of carpenters here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
[Post-Chorus: Sheng Belmonte, Gloc-9]
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
[Verse 2: Gloc-9]
Good if good will ensue
Of the fate of all who takes a chance
Even though they hesitate just for the well-being
Of their loved ones, the gamble is bet on
Pawn every property they have
We'll be able to take it back, that's what's said when it all goes down
The process of paperwork to get in an airplane
Or a boat, wherever may one go
Just to earn dollars to exchange with peso
One is equal to a handful of one pesos
Is that the reciprocation of a Filipino's life?
Leaving their family, being domesticated for whoever?
To be starved, tortured, endangered
To be returned home in a box without even a witness
Will the day come that this will change?
If you're not sure, it's time to think
[Chorus: Sheng Belmonte]
A lot of housekeepers here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
A lot of laundry women here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
[Post-Chorus: Sheng Belmonte, Gloc-9]
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
[Verse 3: Gloc-9]
Try to think of how heavy
The suitcase carried almost cannot be raised
Entrust to the chidren, this is for them
Leaving just to care for someone's else's children
Just to finish college, the watch will be earned
Buy now the toy that Angelo wants
My contract still goes on for long, I'll endure it in the meantime
What's important is this is for my family
[Chorus: Sheng Belmonte]
A lot of teachers here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
A lot of nurses here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
[Post-Chorus: Sheng Belmonte, Gloc-9]
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
They're going abroad
I want to make money, make money, make money, make money, make money
[Outro: Sheng Belmonte]
A lot of good here at our place
But why does it seem like there's none left?
