Laya
Kung pakikinggan ang inaawit ko ngayon
Sasabihing narinig n'yo na ito noon
Ngunit ngayon, ang titik ay iba
Mapapansing ito ay tagalog na
Dati-rati ang isipan ko'y alipin lang
Isip ng banyaga ang aking kinagisnan
Aking pinutol ang tanikala
Upang ang isip ko ay lumaya
Kung mayron'g tinatamaan
Huwag sanang magagalit
Kung nais magpaalipin
Awit ko ay huwag awitin
Tanging diwa ng awit ko ay laya
(INTERLUDE)
Ang "Ako'y Pinoy" ay inyo nang napakinggan
Kalayaan din ang s'ya nitong nilalaman
Ang ibig kong sabihin ay ganyan
Awit man ay mayro'ng kalayaan
Free
If you listen to my song now
You'll say you've heard it before
But right now, the words are different
You'll notice it's in Tagalog*
My mind then was a slave
I grew up with an outsiders mind
I cut my chains
So my mind is set free
If you get hurt
Don't be mad
If you want to be a slave
Don't sing my song
My songs' aim is freedom
(INTERLUDE)
The song "I'm Filipino" you've heard before
Freedom was also it's topic
That is what I mean
Even a song has it's freedom
