[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
