Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lahat ng tao'y nabubugnot
Lahat ng tao'y namumuroblema
Lahat ng tao'y nagmumura
Lalake man o babae matanda man o bata
Huwag na tayong magturuan
Wala namang dapat pagsisihan
O puwede bang tigilan mo na
Ang kakasermon mo sa akin

Sawang-sawa na 'ko niyan
Sa bahay namin

Kung ang nais mo'y
Mabuhay ng tahimik at walang gulo
Sundin ang aking payo
Payong kaibigan lang naman ito

Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang

At baka ka mahibang
Magmumukha kang timang

One more time

Huwag mong idaan sa init ng iyong bumbunan
Huwag mong idaan sa init ng iyong bumbunan
Huwag mong idaan sa init ng iyong bumbunan
Huwag mong idaan sa init ng iyong bumbunan

Tayong lahat ay may problema
Sino nga bang wala
Kaya't kung ako'y iyong pagbibigyan ay
Pagbibigyan din kita

Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha

Kung ang nais mo'y
Mabuhay ng tahimik at walang gulo
Sundin ang aking payo
Payong kaibigan lang naman ito

Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang

At baka ka mahibang
Magmumukha kang timang

Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang
Easy ka lang

At baka ka mahibang
Magmumukha kang timang
