Have you notice anything
in your environment?
The air has gone polluted.
Even so our CHILDREN.
It's really RIVER/ILOG not BATA.

Watch the Environment
Have you notice anything
in your environment?
The air has gone polluted.
Even so our children.
Progress isn't a bad thing,
and we have come a long way with it
But look at the waters of the seas
before they were blue but have already turned to black
Do not let all the dirt we have made and scattered into the air reach the heavens
So when we are gone, we will only have fresh air to breathe in heaven
There is only one thing I'm asking for,
that when I die I hope it will be during the rainy season
With me, I'll bring my guitar, so together, all of us will sing upon the clouds
Those children that are born today,
Will they still have the air to breathe?
Will they still have the trees to climb up on?
Will they still have rivers for them to swim into?
Why don't we think about what's happening to our environment?
Progress isn't a bad thing if it does not harm our nature
There will come a time, even those birds will have nowhere to perch on
Look at that tree that has stood there robust for a very long time, now dying because of our foolish actions
All of the things that exist on this earth are all blessings from God even before you're still not here
Let us take care of it, and protect it because if He will take it back from us, we will all be gone.

I've removed the duplicate lyrics entry and moved this translation to the other entry.
There were a few differences between the lyrics, so you may want to update your translation accordingly, larangeles26.
Changes made (besides punctuation and formatting):
Kay dumi na ng hangin
Pati na ang mga bata natin
->
'Kay dumi na ng hangin
Pati na ang mga ilog natin
Hindi nga masama ang pag-unlad
-> Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad
Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligaran
-> Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran
Ngayon'y namamatay dahil sa ating kalokohan
-> Ngayo'y namamatay dahil sa 'ting kalokohan
and last paragraph added.
