Zamboanga

Sa dulong bahagi ng bayan ko, May lungsod ng tapang, ginto sa puso. Sa alon ng Sulu, sa hangin ng lahi, Nakaukit ang kwento ng ating pagkakaisa. May vinta sa dagat, may sigaw ng laban, Kasaysayan ay buhay sa ating isipan. Sa kuta ng kahapon, sa awit ng ngayon, Zamboanga, ikaw ay yaman ng nasyon! Oh, Zamboanga, Latin City ng Asya, Sa Chavacano ang puso’y sumisinta. Makulay ang awit, matibay ang diwa, Sa bawat hakbang, ika’y buhay na alamat! Subanen, Samal, Tausug, Badjao, Dugong mandirigma, di matitibag. Dumating ang dayuhan, nagtayo ng pader, Ngunit kalayaan, hindi naglaho kailanman! Hermosa Festival, ating ipagbunyi, Virgen del Pilar, ilaw ng gabi. Tambol ng kalye, sayaw ng pag-asa, Zamboangueño, walang inuurungan! Sa bawat alon, sa bawat hangin, Zamboanga mahal, ikaw ang bituin!

"ننھا بندر مست ہوا" ننھا بندر مست ہوا، اُچھل کود میں مست ہوا! کبھی اِدھر، کبھی اُدھر، دھوپ میں ناچے جھوم جھوم کر! چونٹی بولی: "بات سنو، ایسے مت اچھلو، بس رک جاؤ!" بندر بولا: "نہیں بھئی نہیں، ناچوں گا میں، بس یہی!" شاخ ہلی، نیچے گرا، ہاتھی بولا: "ہاہا! مرا؟" بندر بولا: "نہیں نہیں، دوبارہ ناچوں، یہی سہی!"

[Verse] Desde el Altiplano hasta el Mayab Los pueblos crecieron con fuerza y lealtad Olmecas zapotecas mayas y más Retumban sus pasos en la eternidad [Verse 2] Espejos de obsidiana y templos de sol Risas que cruzaban el vasto terraplén Rostros que adoraban la magia del jaguar En ruinas y cenizas sus historias están [Chorus] Pueblos antiguos como tardes doradas Sueños en piedra y mitos en las anchas Hojas del tiempo vuelan sin cesar Memorias grabadas que no se borrarán [Verse 3] Los códices cuentan hazañas de antaño Rituales en cuevas donde el eco es un canto Danzan guerreros con plumas al viento Ecos de un pasado aún en nuestros cuentos [Bridge] Desde Tikal hasta Teotihuacán Los tambores resuenan en mi corazón Tonos de marimba y de caracol La historia vibra en cada rincón [Verse 4] Campos de maíz y dioses en el cielo Relámpagos de guerra y lluvias de consuelo Rompecabezas de culturas y fe En el vértice del tiempo nos ven

ჩემი ბავშვობის სახლთან ვხვდებოდი ფერმკრთალ ასულს და შენ მაგონებ ახლა იმ სილამაზეს წარსულს. სხვა რამ, შაირის გარდა, როგორ გაკადრო, აბა? რარიგ გიხდება და გრთავს ეს შინდისფერი კაბა! ხედავ? ზამთარი ქრება, ყვავილებს გაშლის ნუში; ყველგან ხალისი… სევდა მხოლოდ პოეტის გულში. წუხილს წაიღებს ქნარი და სტრიქონებად დაქსოვს. — საღამო იყო წყნარი, თქვენთან ვიყავი, მახსოვს…

[Verse] We're heading West gotta find new land With wagons rollin' it's all been planned We're heading West gotta find new land Pioneers together take a stand [Verse 2] On the Oregon Trail it was rough oh yeah Dust in our eyes but we didn't care Crossin' rivers deep through prairie wide With hearts full of hope we'll never hide [Chorus] Blazing trails through wild frontier With every mile we face our fear Together strong we'll make it through Heading West our dreams come true [Verse 3] Buffalo roam and the wolves they howl Nights so cold we shiver and growl Stars above light the way so bright We press on through the darkest night [Bridge] Mountains high we'll climb with zeal Valleys low where the cool streams heal Hand in hand we march as one Till the journey's end is done [Chorus] Blazing trails through wild frontier With every mile we face our fear Together strong we'll make it through Heading West our dreams come true

[Verse] In the halls of power, they gather 'round, Deals are made in whispers, no one makes a sound. They say they work for us, keep the country free, But I wonder who they're really paid to be. [Verse 2] Wouldn't it be somethin', if their sponsors showed, On patches of their suits, every debt they owed? Like drivers on the track, with logos side by side, We'd see who's pullin' strings, no place left to hide. [Chorus] Money talks louder than the people shout, Politicians' pockets, never runnin' out. We'd see the truth, every dollar's trace, If they wore their sponsors right across their face. [Verse 3] Lobbyists and bankers, have their say, While we pay the price, every single day. If we saw those patches, clear as day and night, We'd know who's payin' for their fancy flights. [Verse 4] Oh, how they'd sparkle, in their suited grace, With corporate logos, all over the place. Transparency might shine, through the darkest clouds, If their ties and jackets wore it loud and proud. [Chorus] Money talks louder than the people shout, Politicians' pockets, never runnin' out. We'd see the truth, every dollar's trace, If they wore their sponsors right across their face.

[Verse] Tiny voices in the dawn so clear Singing tales of dharma we hold dear Wisdom flows like a river's might Guiding us through darkest night [Chorus] Chanting mantras pure and true Spreading joy like morning dew In the temple of our hearts Every ending is a new start [Verse 2] Echoes of ancient hymns arise Underneath the starry skies With every note our spirits glow In the harmony we grow [Chorus] Chanting mantras pure and true Spreading joy like morning dew In the temple of our hearts Every ending is a new start [Bridge] Mystic words from ages past In our souls they ever last With each breath we sing with grace Timeless beauty in every phrase [Chorus] Chanting mantras pure and true Spreading joy like morning dew In the temple of our hearts Every ending is a new start

[Verse] San Juan ikaw ang aking mahal Sa bawat galaw sa'yo ay masaya Pusong tapat sa'yo lang ang sigla Pintig ng damdamin sa'yo lang wagas [Chorus] Mahal kita hindi magbabago Pag-ibig ko'y sa'yo walang hanggan Kahit sa ulan kahit sa araw Ikaw ang aking san Juan [Verse 2] Sa gitna ng unos ika'y tanglaw Pangako ko sa'yo laging matanaw Sa bawat hakbang kasama kita Sa hirap at ginhawa ikaw at ako [Chorus] Mahal kita hindi magbabago Pag-ibig ko'y sa'yo walang hanggan Kahit sa ulan kahit sa araw Ikaw ang aking san Juan [Bridge] Sa bawat gabi at umagang darating Ika'y yakap buo sa aking piling Walang hanggan itong sumpa natin Ikaw lang San Juan aking mahal [Chorus] Mahal kita hindi magbabago Pag-ibig ko'y sa'yo walang hanggan Kahit sa ulan kahit sa araw Ikaw ang aking san Juan

[Verse] The clock keeps ticking but time stands still Another night with no one to feel The empty chair across the room Holds all the weight of silent gloom [Verse 2] Glass of wine in her weary hand A ghost of dreams she can’t command Shadows dance in the candlelight Lonely whispers in the quiet night [Chorus] She waits for love that won't appear In this house of memories so dear The echoes of laughter now fade away In a heart that’s lost its way [Bridge] Her eyes tell stories they’ve long concealed A world of sorrow that won't be healed But in the dark she finds the dawn In strength to face another morn [Verse] The moonlight through the window spills Unspoken words her heart distills Silent vows and ancient fears A melody of unshed tears [Chorus] She waits for love that won't appear In this house of memories so dear The echoes of laughter now fade away In a heart that’s lost its way

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom Lead thou me on The night is dark, and I am far from home Lead thou me on Keep thou my feet, I do not ask to see The distant scene, one step enough for me

[Verse] We grew up on an old dirt road, Past the fields where the tall grass grows, Summer nights with the fireflies glow, Underneath the stars, we'd watch them show. [Verse] Daddy worked hard from dawn to dusk, Mama raised us with love and trust, Sundays filled with praise and hymn, Life was simple, our roots ran deep within. [Chorus] Take me back to that old dirt road, Where time stands still and love unfolds, Barefoot dreams and tales untold, Hearts as pure as the gold we hold. [Verse] Saw our first kiss at the county fair, Laughter and love was always there, Shared our secrets, our hopes, our fears, Hand in hand, through the passing years. [Verse] Harvest moon and the autumn breeze, Cried our hearts out on bended knee, Life may change, but memories stay, In our hearts, they never fade away. [Chorus] Take me back to that old dirt road, Where time stands still and love unfolds, Barefoot dreams and tales untold, Hearts as pure as the gold we hold.
