Bakwit sa Sarili / Refuge from myself

Munting hiram na buhay,                             When will this rented

kelan pa yayaon?                                            lifetime pass?

Pina-walang kabuluhan                                Time has taken  

ang oras na lumipas.                                      the sense of things.

Panahon na sinaksi                                         I have witnessed

pawang di akin sarili.                                    what is not mine.

 

Kelan ang katapusan?                                    When will this end?

Sa oras ng pagtanggap                                   In accepting

ng tinig mo? Irog,                                            your voice? My dear,

ika'y aking kamatayan.                                   you are my death.

 

Ano ang pinangakong                                    Where is

payapa at galak,                                               peace and joy

kung puso'y sumisikap                                   if the heart still toils

sa inaasahang pangarap?                                towards it's endeavors?

 

Kelan mabubuksan                                          When will I unlock

ang pagkakataon ng pangakong                    the promise

ligaya mula sa kamay mo?                              from your hands?

Di pa sapat ang pagsunod?                             Is compliance not enough?

 

Asan na ang hinanap pangarap na ligaya,      Where is happiness

mula sa pawis, pagnanasa?                               sought with sweat and desire

Gawin ang lahat                                                  of risking all                

sa anumang konsekwnsya?                               no matter what?

 

Sino ako? Taong                                               Who am I? so presumptive

mapangahas sa sariling kalooban,                 of my own will,

ligaw sa ilang,                                                   lost in the wild,

lasing sa layaw,                                                  drunk for indulgence,

lulon sa kadiliman at kawalan.                        drowned into its depths.

 

ano ako sa Yo?                                                   what am i to You?

yapak.                                                                 footprints.

alabok.                                                                dust.

pinag-duraang basura ng lansangan.            garbage spit in the street.

 

Ginawa mo aking kapalaran,                           You made me thus,

palayok at pinggan.                                           as a clay ***

Sa yong kagustuhan                                          Transformed and used

tadhanang pupuntahan.                                    for what you forge.

 

Aking tanggap                                                    I accept

kawalan ng karapatan,                                      lost of rights,

pagsuko ng kalayaan,                                       surrendered freedom,

layag sa kagustuhan,                                         adrift from wants,

 

yaong kababaan.                                                and lowly.

Paglisan ng sarili, bihag                                    when i abandon myself, as Your

at lingkod mo,                                                      captive and servant

nawa'y malaya sa mundo.                                  may i be free of this world.
