[Verse 1]
May nakatago ka bang bote
Do you have a hidden bottle
Sa sulok ng iyong bahay
In the corner of your house?
Huwag hayaang maalikabukan
Don't let it gather dust
Bigyan natin ng bagong buhay
Let's give it new life
[Chorus]
Balik bote, Balik pera
Bottle return, money return
Sa San Miguel, sige na
To San Miguel, go on now
Basyo mo, may halaga
Your empty bottle has value
Cash agad, tuwing-tuwi na
Cash right away, every time
[Verse 2]
Kung may makita sa daan
If you see one on the road
Akala mo'y wala nang silbi
You thought it was useless
Kahit ano pang tatak niyan
Whatever brand it may be
San Miguel ang magpapalit
San Miguel will exchange it
[Chorus]
Balik bote, Balik pera
Bottle return, money return
Sa San Miguel, sige na
To San Miguel, go on now
Basyo mo, may halaga
Your empty bottle has value
Cash agad, tuwing-tuwi na
Cash right away, every time
[Bridge]
Sa Roxas Office, dire-diretso
Straight to the Roxas Office
Ang lumang bote, gawing bago
Turn old bottles into new
Ngiti mo'y sigurado
Your smile is guaranteed
[Chorus]
Balik bote, Balik pera
Bottle return, money return
Sa San Miguel, sige na
To San Miguel, go on now
Basyo mo, may halaga
Your empty bottle has value
Cash agad, tuwing-tuwi na
Cash right away, every time
