Apir Day
Kamikazee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doon sa amin sa sikatuna
Mahaharot ang mga binata
Sang araw na inaabangan
Apir day ay ipinagdiriwang

(chorus)
Hawak hawak kamay iabot
Mo ang tagay, kahit sobrang

Lasing, walang nagaaway
Kunin mo na ang gitara
Lahat ay kakanta, kahit
Wala sa tono, basta’t
Sama-sama..

Nandito na ang buong barkada
May sopdrinks na, at lapag ng
Grandma, kahit kailan maisipan
Apir day ay ipinagdiriwang

(chorus)

Apir-apir day tayo
Apir-apir day tayo
Paboritong holliday namin to
(repeat 2x)

Halika tara na, mas
Solido pag kasama ka
Halika tara na, mas
Solido pag kasama ka

Kunin mo na ang gitara
Lahat ay kakanta, kahit
Wala sa tono, basta’t
Sama-sama

Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy
Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy…

Apir-apir day tayo
Apir-apir day tayo
Paboritong holliday namin to
(repeat 2x)

Apir-apir day tayo
(repeat 8x)

Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy…

Umba… umba…
Umba… yeyeah…

Line by Line Meaning

Doon sa amin sa Sikatuna
In our place in Sikatuna,

Mahaharot ang mga binata
The boys are mischievous,

Sang araw na inaabangan
On the day that they all look forward to,

Apir day ay ipinagdiriwang
Apir day is celebrated,

(chorus)
The refrain of the song,

Hawak hawak kamay iabot
Hold hands and pass around,

Mo ang tagay, kahit sobrang lasing
Pass the booze, even if you're extremely drunk,

Walang nagaaway
Nobody fights,

Kunin mo na ang gitara
Get the guitar,

Lahat ay kakanta, kahit wala sa tono
Everyone will sing, even if off-key,

Basta't sama-sama..
As long as everyone’s together.
