Hindi Ba Ako Pwedeng Masaktan?\ lyrics

Lalaki Ka, Okay Lang

You're a man, it's okay

Verse 1

"Lalaki ka, okay lang," ang laging sinasabi,\

"You're a man, it's okay," is always said,

Kahit sa likod ng ngiti, may luhang nagkukubli.\

Even behind a smile, tears are hidden.

Mabigat man ang pasan, sugatan ang damdamin,\

Even if the burden is heavy, the feelings are wounded,

Kailangan pa ring tumayo, kahit hirap nang ngumiti.

Still need to stand, even if it's hard to smile.

Pre-Chorus

Gustuhin mang magsalita at magtapat,\

Even if I want to speak and confess,

Ngunit bawat salita'y tila may katapat.\

But every word seems to have a consequence.

Kaya't pinipiling sarilinin na lamang,\

So I choose to keep it to myself,

Mga sakit na walang mapagsabihan.

The pains that have no one to tell.

Chorus

Hindi ba ako pwedeng masaktan?\

Can't I get hurt?

Hindi ba ako pwedeng mapagod?\

Can't I get tired?

Sa likod ng tapang na inyong nakikita,\

Behind the bravery you see,

May pusong unti-unting nadudurog.

There's a heart slowly breaking.

Lalaki man ako, tao rin naman,\

Even if I'm a man, I'm still human,

May luha ring gustong pakawalan.\

There are also tears I want to release.

Kung ang mundo'y walang oras makinig,\

If the world has no time to listen,

Saan ko ilalagay ang sakit na kay bigat dalhin?

Where will I put the pain that's so heavy to carry?

Verse 2

Nakakapagod nang magkunwari,\

It's tiring to pretend,

Na parang walang unos sa sarili.\

As if there's no storm within myself.

Nagtatago sa likod ng ngiti at tawa,\

Hiding behind smiles and laughter,

Habang unti-unting nauubos ang sigla.

While vitality slowly drains away.

Bridge

Kung sakaling ako'y lumuha,\

If ever I cry,

Huwag sanang husgahan ang aking nadarama.\

I hope my feelings won't be judged.

Hindi kahinaan ang pag-amin ng sakit,\

Admitting pain is not weakness,

Hindi kabawasan sa tapang ang pag-iyak kahit saglit.

Crying even for a moment is not a reduction of bravery.

Final Chorus

Hindi ba ako pwedeng masaktan?\

Can't I get hurt?

Hindi ba ako pwedeng mapagod?\

Can't I get tired?

Lalaki man ako, tao rin naman,\

Even if I'm a man, I'm still human,

May hangganan din ang aking katatagan.

My resilience also has its limits.

Outro

"Lalaki ka, okay lang..."\

"You're a man, it's okay..."

Ilang beses ko na ring narinig.\

How many times have I heard that.

Ngunit sana'y minsan ay may magsabi,\

But I wish someone would sometimes say,

"Lalaki ka, pero pwede ka ring masaktan."

"You're a man, but you can also get hurt."
