Goodboy
Blakdyak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes man... now here is
It is about co-representing the other differents dialect
A Filipino-Jamiacan's dialect... gotcha!

Goodboy listen to your mama
(Take it on, take it on, take it on)
Goodboy listen to your mama
(Take it down)

Ang pogi mo na ang bait-bait mo pa
At masunurin sa matatanda
Di umiinom at naninigarilyo
Kahit bugbugin ay nakangiti pa rin

Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Iyo, iyo, iyo, iyo... oh oh oh oh

Instrumental
Give'm now a star

Kagalang-galang ang dating sa mamamayan
O kay tamis ng pangakong binitiwan
Di baleng maubos ang kayamanan
Basta't manalo lang sa halalan

Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Iyo, iyo, iyo, iyo... oh oh oh oh

Get inside the house!

Pag gising sa umaga ay nag pe-pray sya
Habang nag to-toothbrush ay nag pe-pray din
Habang naliligo ay nag pe-pray pa
Eight days a week masyadong magsimba

Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Iyo, iyo, iyo, iyo... oh oh oh oh

Adlib

Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Goodboy, goodboy ang bait mo naman
Sana kunin ka na ni Lord
Iyo, iyo, iyo, iyo... oh oh oh oh

Line by Line Meaning

Goodboy listen to your mama
Be obedient to your mother, listen to her advice and directives

Ang pogi mo na ang bait-bait mo pa
You're handsome and very kind

At masunurin sa matatanda
And obedient to the elders

Di umiinom at naninigarilyo
You don't drink nor smoke

Kahit bugbugin ay nakangiti pa rin
Even if you get beaten up, you still smile

Kagalang-galang ang dating sa mamamayan
You command respect from people

O kay tamis ng pangakong binitiwan
Your promises are so sweet

Di baleng maubos ang kayamanan
Even if your wealth is depleted

Basta't manalo lang sa halalan
As long as you win the election

Pag gising sa umaga ay nag pe-pray sya
You pray upon waking up in the morning
