A groupmate of mine in Parlance gladly gave me copies of Michael V.'s songs---yun yung mga kanta na tinagalog o English sa Bubble Gang! Kanina pa ako napapa-utot sa kakatawa rito. Anyways, if you guys happen to spot Michael V.'s collection of translated songs on Tower Records, Odyssey, etc. please do tell me! ^__^v
Darn it we want our previous trainer back! >D! XD!!!
P.S. Before anything else, kantahin natin ito with feelings! Echas!
Kama ni Rosanna
ni Jon Bon Bodjie (Michael V.)
(Adapted from the song Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi)
I.
Nakaupo, gastado, may sugat
(Sitting here wasted and wounded
Sa matandang tiklado
(At this old piano)
Pinipilit mahuli
(Trying hard to capture)
Ang panahon ngayong umaga, ewan ko
(the moment this morning I don't know)
Dahil ang bote ng vokda
('Cause a bottle of vodka)
Nakatira sa aking ulo
(Is still lodged in my head)
May blonde sa bangungot
(And some blond gave me nightmares)
Baka nasa kama pa siya
(I think that she's still in my bed)
Nanaginip ng pelikulang
(As I dream about movies)
Di gagawin pag ako'y namatay
(they won't make of me when I'm dead)
May kamay na bakal, pagkagising
(With an ironclad fist I wake up and)
Nakipaglaplapan sa umaga
(French kiss the morning)
May bandang nagmamarcha
(While some marching band keeps)
(Sa 'king ulo)
its own beat in my head
Habang nag-uusap
(While we're talking)
(Tungkol sa mga gusto kong paniwalaan)
About all of the things that I long to believe
Sa pag-ibig, katotohanan at
(About love and the truth and)
Ikaw sa akin
(What you mean to me)
Sa totoo lang, sanggol ikaw lamang ang kailangan
(And the truth is baby you're all that I need)
Chorus:
Gusto kitang ihiga sa kama ni Rosanna
(I want to lay you on a bed of roses)
Dahil ngayong gabi ako'y matutulog sa kama ng pako
(For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails)
Gusto kong maging kasing lapit ng banal na mumoo
(I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is)
At ika'y ihiga sa kama ni Rosanna
(And lay you down on bed of roses)
II.
Bueno ang layo ko na
(Well I'm so far away)
Humakbang papuntang bahay
(That each step that I take is on my way home)
Katungkusan ng haring barya
(A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night)
Pipiliin makatawag lang sa telepono
(Just to see through this payphone)
Nawawalan pa rin ng oras
(Still I run out of time)
O mahirap makalusot
(Or it's hard to get through)
Hanggang ang ibon ay bumalik sa yo
(Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you)
Ipipikit ang mata at bumulong
(I'll just close my eyes and whisper,)
Sanggol bulag na pag-ibig ay totoo
(Baby blind love is true)
[Repeat Chorus:]
Ang inuman sa hotel ang alak natuyo
(The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry)
Tabinging peluka na mama
(The barkeeper's wig's crooked)
At binigyan nya ako ng mata
(And she's giving me the eye)
Baka umoo ako
(I might have said yeah)
Tumawa ng sobra hanggang mamatay
(But I laughed so hard I think I died)
---ooo---
Ngayo'y ika'y nakapikit
(When you close your eyes)
Alam mong ika'y iisipin
(Know I'll be thinking about you)
Ang kulasisi ko'y tumawag
(While my mistress she calls me)
Tumayo sa tuldok ilaw muli
(To stand in her spotlight again)
Ngayong gabi ako'y mag-isa
(Tonite I won't be alone)
Pero di naman ako nalungkot
(But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely)
Wala akong patutunayan
(I've got nothing to prove)
Kundi ipagtatanggol ka hanggang mamatay
(For it's you that I'd die to defend)
[Repeat Chorus:]
