kolateral - walang maiiwan feat. calix lyrics

[verse 1]
kaming mga naiwan
sa simula’t sapul hindi na patas ang laban
pasan ang kahirapan
sa baba ng tatsulok nakatakip sa aming liwanag

mga mahal naming k-mayod
tinuring ninyong makasalanan
hindi pa ba sapat aming balat
kinakagat ng sistemang pilit nag papahirap

mga magulang na dapat retirado na
mga apong kukupku pin saan ba pupunta
kulang ang kikitain, kulang pang
kanin, ulam, asin, paminta

kahit hindi gusto
tumigil na mga aral ang mga batang ito
wala nang pang-tustos, kinuktya pang “adik ‘to”
nag luluksa na nga sa buhay na dehado, sa pasismo

[pre-chorus]
kahit ganun paman, tuloy parin ang pag laban
iikot ang mundo kahit sa madugong daan
ang araw ay sisikat sa gitna ng kadiliman
hustisya’y darating basta hindi ito sukuan

nakatayo kami’t nanawagan
buong komunindad nanawagan
pagka’t kung tanikala lang
ang mawawala oras nang lumaban

[chorus]
wag maliitin ang tapang ng maralita (oras nang lumaban)
pabagsakin ang halang na hari ng sistema
paigtingin ang paglaban sa kasakiman (oras nang lumaban)
walang maiiwan, walang kolateral

[verse 2]
pag sapit ng takipsilim, maraming sumisilip
sa gitna ng dilim may liwanag nakabukas ang mga bisig
mga inang nawalan ng anak, lumilibot para mag masid
at mapigilan ang pag danak ng dugo
maiwasan na may karagdagang inang mag buburol ng kanilang anak

kabataang umiiyak
nag kapit kamay para may mabig-y
sa iilang pamilyang nasalanta ng giyerang walang saysay
hindi man sapat, maitatawid pa rin
kahit na maliit, may iaambag pa rin
pagka’t itong pasismo ang malaking salarin

[pre-chorus]
kahit ganun paman, tuloy parin ang laban
iikot ang mundo kahit sa madugong daan
ang araw ay sisikat sa gitna ng kadiliman
hustisya’y darating basta hindi ito sukuan

nakatayo kami’t nanawagan
buong komunindad nanawagan
pagka’t kung tanikala lang
ang mawawala oras nang lumaban

[chorus]
wag maliitin ang tapang ng maralita (oras nang lumaban)
pabagsakin ang halang na hari ng sistema
pa-igtingin ang paglaban sa kasakiman (oras nang lumaban)
walang maiiwan, walang kolateral

[verse 3]
sa panahong ito
hindi maasahan yung dapat nag lilingkod sayo
sila pa nga ‘tong nanunutok ng baril sa ating mga ulo
ang buhay natin para sakanila, isang negosyo
mantsa ng dugo, malamang, atin ito

komunidad ang inatake
komunidad ang reresponde
kung sa kanila ay numero lang tayo
numero din natin ang lansetang gagamitn
para makawala sa tanikalang
nagpapahirap
ang sakit ng isa, ay sakit ng lahat
ang ramdam ng isa, ay ramdam ng lahat

kaya sulong (sulong!)
tulong tulong sa ating pag bangon
damay-damay damayan
ang mga kapatid nating naiwan

kanto por kanto, ulo por ulo, ang laban na ito
bilang isang komunidad tara na’t oras nang tumayo!

————–english translation————–

[verse 1]
for us that are left behind
the fight was never fair to begin with
struggling with poverty
from the bottom of the pyramid
while others block out our light

our loved ones working to the bone
you tagged them as sinners
isn’t it enough
that our flesh
is being torn away
by a system forcing us to be poor

grandparents who should be retired by now
grandchildren who need to be taken in, where do they go
there’s not enough money, not enough for
rice, food, salt, pepper

against their will
these children stopped going to school
there’s no money for tuition, slagged as ‘addicts’
as they mourn this unequal life under, this fascism

[pre-chorus]
in the midst of it all, the fight goes on
the world will keep on turning even on this bl–dy path
the sun will rise in the midst of darkness
justice will come as long as we don’t give up

we’re standing and calling out
the whole community is calling out
because if chains are to fall
it’s time to rise up

[chorus]
don’t belittle the courage of the poor (it’s time to rise up)
overthrow the crooked lords of the system
deepen the fight against tyranny (it’s time to rise up)
no one left behind, no collateral damage

[verse 2]
there are eyes staring out in the dusk
lights shining out in dark, arm-in-arm
mothers who lost their children, circling to guard their neighborhoods
and stem the flow of blood
to make sure no more mothers have to bury their own
young people weeping
holding hands to give what they could to a few families
struck by a war without sense
it may not be a lot, but it’s enough
it may not be much, but we can pitch in
because this fascism is a growing menace

we’re standing and calling out
the whole community is calling out
because if chains are to fall
it’s time to rise up

[verse 3]
in this dark age
you can’t count on those who are supposed to serve and protect
when they’re pointing the gun at our heads
our lives, to them, are just business
those bloodstains are likely our own

when the community is attacked
it’s the community that comes to the defense
if our lives are nothing but statistics
then our numbers are the lance that will
break through the chains that oppress
the pain of one is the pain of all
what is felt by one is felt by all

so, onward (onward!)
we rise together
we help one another, together
with our brothers and sisters left behind

block by block, head by head—this is our fight
as one community, it’s time to stand up
