Payaso
Razorback Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kilala n'yo na ba ako
Ano nanaman 'tong deliryo
Dapat bang matuwa
O dapat bang malumbay

Sige lang nang sige
Hangga't mapanis ang ngiti
Tuloy ang ligaya sige mangiliti
Handa ka na ba
Para tanggapin ako
Tatawanan n'yo ba
Ang isang payaso

Hindi naman maangas
Hindi rin totoo
Kapag may maskara ang tao
Marami siyang matatago

Trabaho niya'y tumawa
Pero gusto ring umiyak
Sa gusto niya't hindi
Sila'y magagalak
Handa ka na ba
Para tanggapin ako
Tatawanan n'yo ba
Ang isang tulad ko

Hindi na baguhan
Sa pagkukunwari
Manhid na siya sa lason
Lason ng ngiti
Eskapo niya 'to sa hirap
At sa sakit ng mundo
Reyalidad niyang ito
Binibigay sa iyo oh

Ikaw at ako
May mga maskara din tayo




Kamandag ng katotohanan
Ang siyang lalaya sa isipan ha

Line by Line Meaning

Kilala n'yo na ba ako
Do you know me already?


Ano nanaman 'tong deliryo
What is this delusion again?


Dapat bang matuwa
Should we be happy?


O dapat bang malumbay
Or should we be sad?


Sige lang nang sige
Just keep going and going


Hangga't mapanis ang ngiti
Until the smile fades away


Tuloy ang ligaya sige mangiliti
The happiness continues, keep tickling


Handa ka na ba
Are you ready?


Para tanggapin ako
To accept me?


Tatawanan n'yo ba
Will you laugh


Ang isang payaso
At a clown?


Hindi naman maangas
Not really tough


Hindi rin totoo
Not true either


Kapag may maskara ang tao
When a person has a mask


Marami siyang matatago
They can hide a lot of things


Trabaho niya'y tumawa
Their job is to laugh


Pero gusto ring umiyak
But they also want to cry


Sa gusto niya't hindi
Whether or not they want to


Sila'y magagalak
They will laugh


Hindi na baguhan
Not a beginner anymore


Sa pagkukunwari
In pretending


Manhid na siya sa lason
They have become numb to the poison


Lason ng ngiti
The poison of smiles


Eskapo niya 'to sa hirap
This is their escape from hardship


At sa sakit ng mundo
And from the pain of the world


Reyalidad niyang ito
This is their reality


Binibigay sa iyo oh
They give it to you


Ikaw at ako
You and I


May mga maskara din tayo
We also have masks


Kamandag ng katotohanan
The sting of truth


Ang siyang lalaya sa isipan ha
That's what will free our minds, right?
