Muslak - salin ng tulang NAIVE ni Winter Raine
MUSLAK
ni Winter Raine
malayang salin ni
Gregorio V. Bituin Jr.
napakabata ko
napakatanda mo
ilang ulit na bang
sinabihan tayo?
hindi ito tama
hindi ito patas
minahal na kita
may pakelam sila?
sila'y nag-alala
nakita ba nila
sa iyo'y ako lang
pagkat mahal mo nga.
subalit huli na
dapat kang umalis
pagbayarin sila
magpalitan kaya?
aalis din ako
makikita nila
tanggapin ka nila
nang nais din ako.
ngunit di gumana
aalis ka pa rin
lagi ka sa isip
ay, napakamuslak

NAIVE
by Winter Raine
I was too young
You were too old
How many times
Should we be told?
It wasn't right
It wasn't fair
I love you now
Don't they care?
They are worried
Don't they see
I am your only one
You really do love me.
It's too late
you have to go
I'll make them pay
quid pro quo, no?
I will leave too
Then they will see
They have to take you
If they want to have me.
Too bad it didn't work
You still have to leave
I will always think of you
Oh to still be so naive.
