Hari Ng Tondo

Kahit sa patalim kumapitIsang tuka isang kahigAng mga kamay na may bahid ng galitKasama sa buhay na minanaIsang maling akala na ang taliwas kung minsan ay tamaAng hari ng tondo, hari ng tondoBaka mabansagan ka na hari ng tondoHari ng tondo, hari ng tondo-ohhhBaka mabansagan ka na hari ng tondo

[Voice: "May gatas ka pa sa labi, gusto mo nang mag-hari dito sa Tondo?"]

Minsan sa isang lugar sa MaynilaMaraming nangyayariNgunit takot ang dilangSabihin ang lahatAnimo'y kagat-kagatKahit itago'y 'di mo pwedeng pigilin ang alamat na umusbongKahit na madami ang ulupongAt halos hindi iba ang laya sa pagkakulongSa kamay ng iilanUmaabusong kikilanAng lahat ng pumalagWalang tanongAy kitilan ng buhayHukay, luha'y magpapatunayNa kahit hindi makulayKailangang magbigay-pugaySa kung sino mang lamangMga bitukang halangAt kung wala kang alamAy yumuko ka nalangHanggang sa may nagpasyaNa sumalungat sa agosWasakin ang mga kadena na siyang gumagaposSa kwento na mas astig pa sa bagong-tahi na lontaSabay-sabay nating awitin ang tabing na tolda

[Voices: "Sino ang may sabi sa inyo na pumasok kayo sa teritoryo ko? Amin ang lupang ito." "Hindi, kay Asiong!"]

Nilusong ang kanal na sa pangalan niya'y tumawagAlang-alang sa iba, tsaka na muna ang paawatSa maling nagagawa na tila nagiging tamaAng tunay na may kailangan ang siyang pinatatamasaLahat sila'y takot, nakakapaso ang 'yong galitMga bakal na may nagbabagang tinggang papalit-palit sa hangin na masangsangNakakapanghina ang nana at hindi mo matanggal na para bang sima ng panangNakakulawit subalit sa kabila ng lahatAy ang halimuyak lamang ng nag-iisang bulaklakAng siyang tanging naghahatid sa kanya sa katinuanAt hindi ipagpapalit sa kahit na sinumanNgunit nang dumating ang araw na gusto na niyang talikuranAy huli na ang lahatAt sa kamay ng kaibiganIpinasok ang tinggaTumulo ang dugo sa lontaNgayon, alam niyo na ang kwento ni Asiong Salonga

King of Tondo

Even if the knife's edge is grippedOne scratch, one peckAre the hands tinged with angerWith the life that's inheritedOne wrong presumption is that the contrary is sometimes rightThe king of Tondo, king of TondoYou might be labeled as the king of Tondoking of Tondo, king of Tondo-ohhhYou might be labeled as the king of Tondo

[Voice: "You still have milk on your lips, you already want to rule here in Tondo?"]

Sometimes in a place in ManilaA lot are happeningBut the tongue is afraidTo say everythingseemingly bitingEven when you hide it you can't stop the legend that aroseEven when there are a lot of deceivers/vipersAnd being free is almost not different from being in prisonIn the hands of fewAbusive extortionEveryone who resists,no questions,has to have their lives takengrave, tears are proofthat even when there's no colorYou have to give respectto who is betterintestines lay acrossAnd if you don't know anythingjust bow your headuntil someone decidedto oppose the flowdestroy the chain that is tyingthe story that is more awesome than newly sewn pantsLet's simultaneously part the curtain of canvas cloth

[Voices: "Who told you to enter my territory? This land is ours!" "No, it's Asiong's!"]

He went down the canal that his name was calledIn behalf of others, pacify next timeIn the wrongdoing that seems to become rightThe real ones who need are the ones who are given enjoymentThey are all afraid, Your anger is burningMetals with red hot tin are ever-changing in the pungent windThe pus is making you exhausted and you can't remove it like it's the hook of an arrow that's trippingbut aside from everythingis the fragrance of a lone flowerthe only one who guided him back into being saneand he would never exchange it to anyonebut the day came that he wanted to turn his backwas when it's all too lateand with the hands of a friendthe lead was insertedblood dripped into the pantsNow, you know the story of Asiong Salonga
