Bawal ang Tinta

yan ang sabi ng bala

Pagka’t kung susulat

ang itim ay pupula

At ang ibang tinta

mahahaluan ng pulbura.

Lason daw ang pera

‘yan ang sabi ni tinta

At ito’y nakatago

sa bulsa ni bala

Ito’y gamit ni bala

upang tabunan si tinta.

Bawal daw ang Tinta

utos ni bala at pera

Inuubos ang tinta

binabaon sa dusa

Kaya’t asul, dilaw, pula

aliping aba.

It’s the best intentioned lie
that anyone will ever tell.
It’s a lie broken hearts
know only too well.
It’s the guy who is nice
but just not good enough,
or the girl who you like
but just won’t ever love.
Friend is never fair
when that’s all there can be.
Friend is the one
that your heart never sees.
It’s the word that is said
when your hearts on the mend
or the lie that is whispered
when the fairy tale ends.
