Hallelujah
Bamboo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anong balita sa radyo at TV
Ganoon pa rin kumakapa sa dilim
Minsa'y naisip ko na umalis nalang dito
Kalimutan ang lahat lumipad lumayo oh

Bato bato sa langit tamaan huwag magalit
Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
Sa bawat sumpang umiiyak singil ko ay piso
Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha alay ko'y dugo

May kasama ka kapatid kaibigan
Hangga't ako'y humihinga
May pag-asa pa

Hohohwooh
Hallelu hallelujah
Sinong sawa sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu hallelujah
Hale yeah yeah eh eh

Blinded by the light
I could barely see the faces in front of me
You asking me how do we begin
Well for starters from within
I'm ashamed of what I've become in the mirror
The face of my one true enemy
Hallelujah it's a new day
Let's take control
If I have to take this message door to door
See myself in every soul
With permission
I'll make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire from the fire
Save me from the fire

Ngayong gabi
Ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ika'y tulog
Ako'y gising nakabantay sa iyo
Eh kasi mahal kita tingnan mo
Pag-ibig ko sa 'yo lamang

May kasama ka kapatid kaibigan
Hangga't ako'y humihinga
May pag-asa pa

Hohohwooh
Hallelu hallelujah
Sinong sawa sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu hallelujah

Sinong sawa sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu hallelujah
Hohohwooh
Hallelu hallelujah




Hohohwooh
Hallelujah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bamboo's song, "Hallelujah," express a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. The verses describe the never-ending cycle of bad news on the radio and TV, and the feeling of being stuck in the darkness. The singer contemplates leaving it all behind and flying away to forget everything. However, the chorus provides hope in the form of the phrase "Hallelujah," which is repeated several times. The lines "Bato bato sa langit tamaan huwag magalit" means "Stone for stone in the sky; if hit, don't be angry" and implies that there may be some justice in the world, even if it is not immediately evident.


The second verse starts with "Blinded by the light," which is a nod to the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name. The singer admits to being ashamed of what he sees in the mirror, which he calls his "one true enemy." He then declares that it is a new day, and he is ready to take control. He wants to spread a message of hope and make it his personal mission to help others. The bridge of the song is in Filipino and expresses a sense of devotion and love. The singer pledges to be a soldier for his loved one, always keeping watch while they sleep.


Line by Line Meaning

Anong balita sa radyo at TV
What news is on the radio and TV?


Ganoon pa rin kumakapa sa dilim
Still groping in the dark


Minsa'y naisip ko na umalis nalang dito
Sometimes I think of just leaving here


Kalimutan ang lahat lumipad lumayo oh
Forget everything and fly away


Bato bato sa langit tamaan huwag magalit
Stone thrown up to the sky, don't be angry if you get hit


Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
We already know who is clever


Sa bawat sumpang umiiyak singil ko ay piso
For every teardrop, my fee is one peso


Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha alay ko'y dugo
For every weeping poor, my sacrifice is my blood


May kasama ka kapatid kaibigan
You have a companion, brother, friend


Hangga't ako'y humihinga
As long as I am breathing


May pag-asa pa
There is still hope


Hohohwooh


Hallelu hallelujah
Praise the Lord


Sinong sawa sinong galit
Who's tired, who's angry?


Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Scream tonight


Hale yeah yeah eh eh


Blinded by the light
Unable to see because of the brightness


I could barely see the faces in front of me
I could hardly see the faces in front of me


You asking me how do we begin
You are asking me how to start


Well for starters from within
Well, for starters, from within


I'm ashamed of what I've become in the mirror
I am ashamed of what I see in the mirror


The face of my one true enemy
The face of my only true enemy


Hallelujah it's a new day
Praise the Lord, it's a new day


Let's take control
Let's take charge


If I have to take this message door to door
If I have to deliver this message to every door


See myself in every soul
See myself in every person


With permission
With consent


I'll make this my personal mission
I will make this my personal mission


Save me from the fire from the fire
Save me from the fire


Ngayong gabi
Tonight


Ako ang sundalo mo
I am your soldier


Habang ika'y tulog
While you're asleep


Ako'y gising nakabantay sa iyo
I am awake, standing guard over you


Eh kasi mahal kita tingnan mo
Well, because I love you, look


Pag-ibig ko sa 'yo lamang
My love is only for you


Hohohwooh


Hallelu hallelujah
Praise the Lord


Sinong sawa sinong galit
Who's tired, who's angry?


Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Scream tonight


Hallelu hallelujah
Praise the Lord


Sinong sawa sinong galit
Who's tired, who's angry?


Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Scream tonight


Hallelu hallelujah
Praise the Lord

Anong balita sa radio at TV?
Gan'un pa rin; kumakapa sa dilim
Minsay naisip ko nang umalis na lang dito
Limutin ang lahat, lumipad lumayo

Bato-bato sa langit, tamaan 'wag magalit
Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
Sa bawat sumpang umiiyak, singil ko ay piso
Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha, alay koy dugo

May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hanggat akoy humihinga, may pag-asa pa

Oh-oh, hallelu-ooh, hallelujah
Sinong sawa, sinong galit?
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu-ooh, hallelujah, halle-yeah

Blinded by the light
I can barely see the faces in front of me
Asking me where do we begin
Well, for starters, from within
Im ashamed of what I've become in the mirror
The face of my one true enemy
Hallelujah, its a new day
Let's take control if I have to take this message door to door
Save myself, save every soul
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the firefrom the fire

Ngayong gabi, ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ikay tulog akoy gising
Nakabantay sa 'yo kasi mahal kita
Tingnan mo, pag-ibig koy sa 'yo lamang

May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hanggat akoy humihinga, may pag-asa pa

Oh-oh, hallelu-ooh, hallelujah
Sinong sawa, sinong galit?
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu-ooh, hallelujah

Sinong sawa, sinong galit?
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu-ooh, hallelujah

Oh-oh, hallelu-ooh
Hallelujah
Oh-oh, hallelu-ooh...
