Isang Lahi
Regine Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ano nga ba ang halaga ng buhay sa daigdig
Darating ba ang isa ngayon
At magbabago ang panahon
Kung ang bawat pagdaing ay laging pabulong
Aanhin ko pa dito sa mundo
Ang mga matang nakikita'y di totoo
Tanong ay kailan bakit di natin isabog ang pagmamahal
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo
Pang-unawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y
Nandiyan sa palad mo
Diba't ang gabi ay mayroong wakas
Pagkatapos ng dilim ay may liwanag
Araw ay agad na sisikat
Iilawan ang ating landas ng magkaisa
Bawat nating pangarap
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo
Pangunawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y nandiyan sa palad mo
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay (sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay)
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay (mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay)
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo (bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo)
Pang-unawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y nandiyan sa palad mo

Kung ang tinig mo'y di naririnig
If your voice is not heard
Ano nga ba ang halaga ng buhay sa daigdig
What is the value of life in this world
Darating ba ang isa ngayon
Will someone come today
At magbabago ang panahon
And the time will change
Kung ang bawat pagdaing ay laging pabulong
If every cry is always a whisper
Aanhin ko pa dito sa mundo
What else do I need here in this world
Ang mga matang nakikita'y di totoo
The things I see are not real
May ngiting luha ang likuran at paglayang
There is a smile with tears behind and farewell
Tanong ay kailan bakit di natin isabog ang pagmamahal
The question is when will we spread love
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay
Follow the view of life
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay
Fill the world with joy and make it colorful
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
We only have one race
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
We only have one heritage
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo
Why not offer love
Pang-unawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
It is true understanding that I want
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y nandiyan sa palad mo
Helping others is in your hands
Diba't ang gabi ay mayroong wakas
Doesn't the night have an end
Pagkatapos ng dilim ay may liwanag
After darkness, there is light
Araw ay agad na sisikat
The sun will rise quickly
Iilawan ang ating landas ng magkaisa
Our path will be illuminated as one
Bawat nating pangarap
All our dreams
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay
Follow the view of life
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay
Fill the world with joy and make it colorful
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
We only have one race
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
We only have one heritage
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo
Why not offer love
Pang-unawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
It is true understanding that I want
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y nandiyan sa palad mo
Helping others is in your hands
Sundan mo ng tanaw ang buhay
Follow the view of life
Mundo ay punan mo ng saya't gawing makulay
Fill the world with joy and make it colorful
Iisa lang ang ating lahi
We only have one race
Iisa lang ang ating lipi
We only have one heritage
Bakit di pagmamahal ang ialay mo
Why not offer love
Pang-unawang tunay ang siyang nais ko
It is true understanding that I want
Ang pagdamay sa kapwa'y nandiyan sa palad mo
Helping others is in your hands
