DAKILANG LAHI

Ciarra Sotto - Dakilang lahi song lyrics

PARAISO

... this song expresses about poverty,being against war and terrorism,love for nature and for all humanity and most of all... a hope for a peaceful world, with fairness and with equal justice to all species on earth ...



Return to a land called Paraiso
A place where a dying river ends
No birds there fly over Paraiso
No space allows them to endure

The smoke that screens the air
The grass that's never there
And if I could see a single bird, what a joy
I try to write some words and create a single song
To be heard by the rest of the world

I live in this land called Paraiso
In a house made of cardboard floors and walls
I learned to be free in Paraiso
Free to claim anything I see

Matching rags for my clothes
Plastic bags for the cold.
And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy
I never fight to take someone else's coins
And live with fear like the rest of the boys

Paraiso, help me make a stand
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand
That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
This tired and hungry land could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest of the world

(Instrumental)

And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy
I never fight to take someone else's coins
And live with fear like the rest of the boys

Paraiso, help me make a stand
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand
That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
This tired and hungry land could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest
Of the world...

Paraiso, help me make a stand
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand
That if I could see a single bird, what a joy
This tired and hungry land could expect
Some truth and hope and respect from the rest
Of the world...

... PASAN : CALLALILY ...

Naglalakbay sa gitna ng dalampasigan
Minamasdan ang alon
Na humahampas sa nakaraan

Umihip ang hangin
Sa langit ako'y napatingin
Ulap ay sadyang kaydilim
Tila yata may bagyong parating
Bakit ka lumuluha?
Bakit nagtataka?
Akala mo ba, ika'y iniwan na?

Hindi, pasan kita
Hindi mo ba nakikita
Hindi ka na, sa akin ay luluha pa...

Nasaan na ang tapang
At lakas ng 'yong loob
Ngayo'y karuwagan na lang ba
Ang iyong sagot

Umihip ang hangin
Sa langit ako'y napatingin
Ulap ay sadyang kaydilim
Tila yata may bagyong parating
Bakit ka lumuluha?
Bakit nagtataka?
Akala mo ba, ika'y iniwan na?

Hindi, pasan kita
Hindi mo ba nakikita
Hindi ka na, sa akin ay luluha pa...

Hindi ko naman hangad
Ang anumang bagay sa mundo
Ang tanging hinihiling ko lamang
Ay yakapin mo

At ngayon, pasan kita
Ngayon mo na makikita
Hindi ka na, sa akin ay luluha pa

At ngayon, pasan kita
Ngayon mo na makikita
Hindi ka na, sa akin ay luluha pa...
