Freddie Aguilar "Katarungan" lyrics

Translation to:en

Katarungan

Sa isang kulungang bakal ayMay taong malungkot, umiiyakAng tanong n'ya sa sarili ayKailan magigisnan ang liwanagMalayo ang iniisip atNakakuyom yaring mga paladBakit daw s'ya nagdurusaSa kasalanang 'di n'ya ginawa

Kahapon lamang ay kapilingN'ya kanyang asawa at anakNamumuhay nang tahimik saIsang munting tahanang may tuwaAng kaligayahan ay pinutolNg isang paratang sa kanyaS'ya daw ang may sala sa isangKrimen na 'di naman n'ya ginawa

Wala na bang katarungan angIsang nilalang na katulad n'yaIlan pang tulad n'ya ang magdurusaNang walang kasalanan'Di ba't ang batas natin pantay-Pantay, walang mahirap, mayamanBakit marami ang nagduru-Sang mga walang kasalanan

Mga ilang araw na langHaharapin na n'ya ang bitayanPaano n'ya isisigawNa s'ya'y sadyang walang kasalananTanging ang Diyos lamang ang s'yangSaksi at s'yang nakakaalamDiyos na rin ang s'yang bahalangManingil kung sino'ng may kasalanan

Dumating na ang araw, hahara-Pin na n'ya kanyang kamatayanSa isang upuang bakal naKay dami nang buhay na inutangO, ang batas ng tao kungMinsan ay 'di mo maintindihanIlan pang tulad n'ya angMagdurusa nang walang kasalanan

Justice

In an iron prisonSomeone is sad and cryingHe asks himselfWhen will I see the lightThinking deeply andHis hands are clenchedWhy is he sufferingFor the offense he didn't commit

Just yesterday he wasWith his wife and childLiving in peaceIn small home of joyHappiness was cutBy an accusationThat it was his fault forA crime he didn't commit

Is there no justiceFor someone like himHow many more will sufferThat isn't guiltyIsn't the law equalNo rich nor poorWhy is that many are sufferingThe innocent ones

In a few daysHe will face the gallowsHow will he shoutThat he is innocentOnly God is hisWitness and knowsGod willCollect from the guilty ones

The day has comeHe will face his deathIn a steel chair thatHas claimed many livesO, the law of manSometimes can't be understoodHow many more will sufferThat isn't guilty
