Matisyahu – Late Night in Zion
Monday, September 12th, 2011Matisyahu – Late Night in Zion
We’re the reflection of imperfection,
We come from the infinite place of limitation.
Rejoice in these days, make a correction,
We’re the completion.
Lights out, down for the count, can’t get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck,
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut.
We’re not alone in the madness,
if we’re here, then so are you,
Deepest caverns underground,
we’ve been taken for the truth,
Srape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles.
The only one who’ll get us out of this mess,
The one who put us here.
I’ve got a spear driven through my ear,
Can’t you hear the sound, crystal clear,
Pistols smashing chandeliers.
Long for brooks of water like the dear.
CHORUS:
A man is just a man,
Filled of faults and weakness,
Four A.M. Jerusalem all alone and speechless.
Nighttime, nobody’s home, roam streets in darkness.
I feel I’m just a man, flesh and bones, homeless.
[2x]
Planting seeds, they won’t sink in.
I’m dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth.
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed.
From one into a million disperse.
Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below.
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden start to grow.
You know you’ve got to rise, though you like to flow.
You can’t keep staring out the window.
Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher.
Spark igniter, fighting tired
Stay wired, enlighten loads.
Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn’t pass me by.
Rise, to the occassion.
Keep these hearts all blazin.
Build your life on a river of wax.
Melt into space, we’ve been here since the beginning, not going away.
Not going away…..
CHORUS
Tayo ba’y nabubuhay, para lamang mamatay?
Saturday, August 6th, 2011Bahid by Salindiwa
buti pa ang mga hayup
pumapatay lang pag gutom
ang tao papatay para sa perang may bahid na dugo
ng mga inosenteng walang kinalaman sa gulong ito
kung sino pa’ng mabait buhay niya ay kay lupit
nabubuhay namamatay
buti pa ang mga gago
sila lang ang umaasenso
ang mahirap lalong humihirap
ang mayaman wala namang pakialam
isa-isang namamatay ang mga bata sa lansangan
kinakasangkapan ng sariling magulang
tayo ba’y nabubuhay para lamang mamatay..?
Ang Alak

Levi Celerio wrote the Tagalog lyrics of “Alak”. It is an adaptation of the folk song ‘Condansoy’, a Visayan song mainly sung in Cebuano-speaking regions, although local variations exist in nearby provinces. Interpreted by Sylvia La Torre under the music supervision of Leopoldo Silos. Audio from a Magnetic Cassette Tape (“Ikaw Kasi, Sylvia La Torre,” Villar Records, V-5184 C).
