Part I
Omar A. Rodríguez-López Quartet Lyrics

Kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang
Remain calm, stay composed, keep your temper in check

Ibang klase pagkadale balikang mala-lagare utak ang palalakarin bitawan mga bagahe
A different class of agility, back-bending obstacles with a mind ready to let go of burdens

Pasensya pahahabain ang plano pagaganahin lahat ay makaka-kain salamat mapapa-amen
Patience will prolong the plan, making everything achievable, thanks to prayer

Sagadan hanggang sa dulo tiyaga kung meron mang tulo
Push through until the end, persevere if there are any leaks

Bitaw palaging todo sigaw ay nasa tono ikaw lang din kikilos ikaw mismo kukuha
Let go, always shout loudly, be in tune, you alone will act, you will take charge

Sila yung manghihila sila din manghihina walang makakaawat hanggang sa makalapit
They will pull, they will weaken, no one can stop them until they get close

Sariling byahe lakad hindi lang nakasabit hindi pa man makuha atleast ay sinubukan
Self-journey, walk, not just hanging on, even if not obtained yet, at least it was tried

Sagot ay laging hanap hindi ko sinukuan minsan ay tinutulan kaya ko tinutukan
Answers are always sought, I didn't give up, sometimes I resisted, that's why I focused

Pag-asa tinubuan lahat yan tinuruan lakbay kahit walang kasabay sumakay
Hope grew, everything was taught, traveling even without companions, climb aboard

Kahit kelan wag kang matakot sumablay
Never be afraid to make mistakes

Sige lang sige lang tuloy lang sa pagbibilang sige lang sige lang tuloy lang sa pagbibilang
Just go on, keep counting, just go on, keep counting

Eto ang aking gitnang daliri saluhin sa kada sambit ng aking pangalan kesa aking pagbigyan
Here's my middle finger, catch it with every utterance of my name rather than giving in

Mas pinili kong maging kalmado 'wag na bigyang pansin 'yan (kalmado)
I chose to stay calm, don't pay attention to that (stay calm)

Tuloy lang sa gawain 'wag magpalinlang sa mga tuso't di ka dapat mailang
Continue with your work, don't be deceived by the cunning, don't be intimidated

Tatagan mo lang at maging kalmado (kalmado)
Just remain strong and calm (stay calm)

Balewala mga tira ng palengkerong aligaga 'di ako interesado sa market n'yong pang talipapa
The shots from a frantic market stallholder are meaningless to me, I'm not interested in your small-scale market

Daming dada 'lang ginawa kundi manghila paibaba
You talk a lot, only dragging down

Parisukat na ang narra para sa inyong parihaba sadyang maingay ang mga nakatali na aso
The narra wood is squared for your elongation, the dogs tied up are naturally loud

Lalo na pag hindi pinapakain ng amo nanggagalaiti ang mga feeling mas gago
Especially when the dogs are not fed by their master, the feelings become more infuriated

Samantalang ako'y nananatiling kalmado galit galitan sa opinyon ko't pakiramdam
Meanwhile, I remain calm, angry with my own opinions and feelings

'Di ako mainit 'di manlang ako lumigamgam bakit ako magagalit nasabi na sa'kin dati yan
I'm not heated up, I didn't even warm up, why would I get angry when it has been said to me before

Mas masakit kasi kalaban nyo'y walang pakialam
It's more painful because your opponent doesn't care

Alam kong gusto nyo lang naman ay magka-views kayo
I know you just want to have views

'Di magpapaaning sa mga kabobohan nyo kasi mas matagal kang darating sa paroroonan mo
I won't indulge your foolishness because it will take you longer to reach your destination

Kung babatuhin mo lahat ng aso na kakahol sayo
If you throw stones at every dog that barks at you

Sige lang sige lang tuloy lang sa pagbibilang bibilang
Just go on, keep counting

Eto ang aking gitnang daliri saluhin sa kada sambit ng aking pangalan kesa aking pagbigyan
Here's my middle finger, catch it with every utterance of my name rather than giving in

Mas pinili kong maging kalmado 'wag na bigyang pansin 'yan (kalmado)
I chose to stay calm, don't pay attention to that (stay calm)

Tuloy lang sa gawain 'wag magpalinlang sa mga tuso't di ka dapat mailang
Continue with your work, don't be deceived by the cunning, don't be intimidated

Tatagan mo lang at maging kalmado (kalmado)
Just remain strong and calm (stay calm)

Eto ang aking gitnang daliri saluhin sa kada sambit ng aking pangalan kesa aking pagbigyan
Here's my middle finger, catch it with every utterance of my name rather than giving in

Mas pinili kong maging kalmado 'wag na bigyang pansin 'yan (kalmado)
I chose to stay calm, don't pay attention to that (stay calm)

Tuloy lang sa gawain 'wag magpalinlang sa mga tuso't di ka dapat mailang
Continue with your work, don't be deceived by the cunning, don't be intimidated

Tatagan mo lang at maging kalmado (kalmado)
Just remain strong and calm (stay calm)

Kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang
Remain calm, stay composed, keep your temper in check

Kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang kalmado lang yeah
Remain calm, stay composed, keep your temper in check
