MANA
Ayy, Isn't this strange?
You didn't knew me when I was still on the ground
Ayy, Not even once you've asked how I was doing, I'm betting you 50
Ayy, Now I'm up here
I see everything's changed
Didn't you miss me?
Oh yeah?
Nah, I'd rather half of my body go missing
Oh yeah!
Why is it like this?
I can't understand what you're saying
Is the world really unfair?
If it is, then I'm here to change it
For me it's not a bother
If you still refuse to see
I possesses gifts no one can ever dispute
Mana- nanggal
Manananggal, mananananggal, mana
Heaven and earth
Can unite if you just believe
Even if you haven't realized the value of these gifts I possess
Mana-nanggal
Manananggal, manananggal (Rrah!)

Huh? I can't hear what you're trying to say
It can't reach me from where I am now
And the airplane beside me is too loud
I'll go turbo, turning on the nitro
Zoom to far away
I wouldn't stop
I be floating here
Cause I'm grounded
Chillin'
What you calling punks? Yeah we not dead
Don't you have anything new?
Something I didn't know yet about myself
You really haven't learned anything,
I think you need some sort of a miracle
For me it's not a bother
If you still refuse to see
I possesses gifts no one can ever dispute
Mana- nanggal
Manananggal, mananananggal, mana
Heaven and earth
Can unite if you just believe
Even if you haven't realized the value of these gifts I possess
Mana-nanggal
Manananggal, manananggal (Rrrah!)

A monster?
Is that why you're scared?
Just shut that mouth of yours
Don't test my patience
Go on, go on
Just don't you fall asleep
A monster?
Is that why you're scared?
Just shut that mouth of yours
Don't test my patience
Go on, go on, just go on (OOHHH)

Can unite if you just believe
Even if you haven't realized the value of these gifts I possess

About translator
"Manananggal" is a mythical creature in the Philippines that looks like a normal person by day but by midnight it would split it's body in half. The upper body will grow wings and fly to roam around to find it's prey (usually pregnant women, or people sleeping alone, or stray animals). The lower body or it's torso will be left on the ground.
SB19 used this as a metaphor that even tho they can soar so high and reach their dreams they will remain grounded. In the latter part of the song they were talking about "don't fall asleep" like literally saying don't sleep on their gifts or don't sleep on SB19 and their talents.
