Kay Pinili Baya Ang Kalipay

sayop
yagaw ang tanang butang
libog, hapdos, pait

antos lang, antos kay kinahanglan

samad
hinay hinay ra na maayo
ayaw baya-i, ayaw dugangi

hulat lang, hulat kay kinahanglan

guol
ayaw'g palabi sa sakit
padala kay madala g'yud ka

tindog lang, tindog kay kinahanglan

pangutana
kuyaw baya manago ang tubag
pangitaun ba o hulatunun?

gunit lang, gunit kay kinahanglan

kabug-at
di lalim nga magkalisud ka
tanan sa kalibutan gakalisud man

sukol lang, sukol kay kinahanglan

hinumdum
ayaw kalimti ang kinabuhi
sa sipyat ug kalipay, kadag-um ug himaya

pili lang, pili kay kinahanglan

padayun
ayaw'g papildi sa imung gibati
gukuri lang ang kalipay

ug pag-amping--sa tanan, pag-amping

mistake
everything becomes a mess
confusion, pain, bitterness

just bear it, bear it because you have to

wounds
slowly those will heal
don't let them fester, don't add to them

just wait, wait because you have to

grief
don't let the pain overwhelm you
flow with it and it will take you away

just stand, stand because you have to

ask
amazing how answers could hide
do you look for them or wait for them?

just hold on, hold on because you have to

weight
it's no wonder you have to struggle
everyone in the world struggles

just fight, fight because you have to

remember
do not forget life
in faults and in joys, gray skies and glories

just choose, choose because you have to

move on
don't surrender to your circumstances
chase after bliss (strive to be happy)

and take care--in all things, take care.
