Siakol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nagiisip ng kung anu-ano
At ang nagdaang mga araw
Ay aking binabalik tanaw
Parang kulang ang umaga
Nasaan kaya ang barkada
Okay sana kung may pera
Masakit tanggapin
Ang katotohanan
Kung wala kang pera
Wala ka ring kaibigan
Nakakasama mga tropa
Sa inuman ako'y gitarista
Umaawit parang ibon
Ayos na rin ako'y naroroon
Balang araw konting tiyaga
Makatitikim na rin ng nilaga
Bahay at lupa maraming pera
Barkada ko'y makakasama ko na
Masakit tanggapin
Ang katotohanan
Kung wala kang pera
Wala ka ring kaibigan
Masakit tanggapin
Ang katotohanan
Kung wala kang pera
Wala ka ring kaibigan
Nakatambay sa may kanto
Naiinip sa pagyaman mo
Nakangiti nakatawa
Nababaliw na sa problema
The song "Kanto" by Siakol tells the story of a person hanging out on a street corner, reminiscing about the past and pondering the present. The person is feeling down because they don't have money to hang out with their friends and feels that without money, they have no friends. They long for the company of their buddies, but they know that they cannot afford to join them. The lyrics express the painful reality of how money can put up barriers and prevent people from experiencing the joys of life in the company of those they care about.
The song brings to light the issue of financial hardship and how it can alienate people from each other. The person in the song is experiencing sadness because they are unable to afford the simple pleasures of life like hanging out with friends. However, they still find comfort in fantasizing about a future where they will have enough money to not only survive but enjoy life with their friends. This song is a reminder that a lack of money can cause stress and depression in people's lives and that being with friends is often just as important as having material wealth.

Nakatambay sa may kanto
I'm hanging out at the corner
Nagiisip ng kung anu-ano
Thinking about various things
At ang nagdaang mga araw
Reflecting on past days
Ay aking binabalik tanaw
I'm looking back at them
Parang kulang ang umaga
The morning feels incomplete
Nasaan kaya ang barkada
I wonder where my buddies are
Okay sana kung may pera
It would be nice if I had money
Upang ako ay nakasama
So I could join them
Masakit tanggapin
It's painful to accept
Ang katotohanan
The truth
Kung wala kang pera
If you don't have money
Wala ka ring kaibigan
You have no friends either
Nakakasama mga tropa
Hanging out with my crew
Sa inuman ako'y gitarista
I'm the guitarist during drinking sessions
Umaawit parang ibon
Singing like a bird
Ayos na rin ako'y naroroon
I'm okay just being there
Balang araw konting tiyaga
Someday, with a little patience
Makatitikim na rin ng nilaga
I'll get to taste a clear soup dish
Bahay at lupa maraming pera
A house and lot with a lot of money
Barkada ko'y makakasama ko na
I'll be able to hang out with my buddies then
Naiinip sa pagyaman mo
Getting impatient with your wealth
Nakangiti nakatawa
Smiling and laughing
Nababaliw na sa problema
Going crazy with problems
